Not to mention that vintage blackface is just ridiculous. It's basically clown makeup with black instead of white.

I remember when I was very young I had a VHS tape of old Warner Bros cartoon shorts (very old, WW2 era before Daffy Duck was the butt of the joke, there was a even WW2 propaganda on it) like Bugs Bunny. In many cases they would randomly end the show with them in blackface dancing.VoiceOfReasonPast wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2017 4:13 pmNot to mention that vintage blackface is just ridiculous.

In April 2016, Dolezal announced on the Today Show that she was writing a book on her racial identity. This memoir, called In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World, was released by BenBella Books in March 2017. Dolezal claims 30 publishing houses turned her down before she found a smaller publishing company willing to print it. In the book, Dolezal compares her own experiences to slavery and reiterates her claim that she was born in a teepee. Critics described the memoir as "bizarre."

By February 2017, she was on food stamps, estranged from most of her friends, and on the brink of homelessness after having no success in finding another job.
