Anything I say will get me in trouble. 

But I will say this.  I am sick of double standards.

I do not even know who she is and why her outfit would offend.  I also did not understand it when my daughter tried to explain it to me.  I am more of an educational or historical channel kind of guy.

Of course, I watch that.   I do not watch a lot of network tv, too darn dumb.   Reality shows, dance shows, talent shows, etc,.    Like I said, too darn dumb.

For Huffpost to call this blackface is pretty petty. More race baiting if you ask me. Coal black face, white around the eyes and/or lips then with red lips.

That would be black face. She looks like some white sorority girls I went to college with... too much time in the tanning bed.

Typical for the Huffingpaint Post.  It's by no means any kind of credible source.

Changing the subject but did you see the documentaries on Dixie and the Appalachian Mts?   It was great!!   

Now back.  Anything that offends other people is not ok but it's OK to bash others.  Sick of IT!  Too old.  Put up with it for too long.  I'm done being and trying to not offend others when it's OK to bash what I believe and who I am.  Done and done.  So there!

Yep, when I saw where the info came from, I didn't even read it. I'd rather trust the National Enquirer.
