Is blackface always offensive?

[Little lunch]

I can see how blackface was ridiculously racist and offensive to black people.

But I can tell when blackface is used in that village's traditional ceremonies and in comedy sketches that the intent is not pro racist.

So I would say that blackface is almost always offensive.

I'm not going to take offence to something 100 percent of the time because I was told to, like a good little sheep.

I will make up my mind as I go.
