From what I understand about American History, African Americans weren't allowed to be 'famous performers', so white people would just put black makeup on their face, and pretend to be black ppl. They would basically 'mock' black humans, resulting in a 'hella racist' display. It seems like at the VMAs, a pretend awards show/meme generating event, Will.I.Am wore a ' blackface costume' even though he is already black. Sorta weird how African American artists are more successful than white artists [via hip hop music]. Still confused by Mikey Jax going all 'white face' before [...]
