If they’re incapable of seeing this and doing the dance without blackface then yea they’re ignorant fuckheads. Blackface is always racist, those who do it are not always racists. Some people are innocently ignorant. It’s when you’ve been informed and instead of changing you double down and insist on doing something that’s unacceptable, that’s when you go from being an innocent ignorant to a douchebag.And even if it were part o0f the tradition that doesn't make it okay . Something is not excused because it is a tradition .
