Jena 6 Blackface

It would seem that we have a Jena 6 in Blackface.

The poster of the video said:

"We were just playin n the mud and it got out of hand. I promise i'm not racist. i have just as many black friends as i do white. And i love them to death,"


I'm begining to wonder. I hear this "I have a lot of black friends" comment a lot. So there's two possibilities here:

A) they are lying.
B) There is something very wrong with these black "friends" that leaves these white folk with the impression that blackface is OK? Seriously?

I don't think I recall any other time in African-American history where white people felt it was OK to do clearly racist shyt and thought the "I have black friends" was an acceptable cover story. one would have to have some seriously coonin' friends to think like that.

You should see how these people act. It's embarrassing. The reason the White people think they can get away with these types of antics is because the Black person shows them that this is ok. I've even seen many times where the Black person turns on other Blacks just to stay friends (be safe).
