      Was it Jackson 5 era MJ?

      Edit: I’m being passed a note. Apparently that isn’t a great reason for blackface either.

        Lawler was trying to do Thriller-era MJ, which was before the vitiligo/lupus really started to hit him hard.

    personally, if I was a party operative, fixer, or machine boss, I would go ahead and find out if there could possibly be any photo of a prospective candidate in blackface. and if it was possible, I would deny them access to the ticket.

    I really don’t get how this continues to happen. like I was an adult in 2006 and “let’s go to the party in blackface” was not a thing people were doing.

      The nepo babies and other elites in their ivory towers are terrible people, it’s not really surprising. They can’t fix the symptom without fixing the problem (ie getting rid of themselves and their racist, murderous, hideous system) lol

    I’d say that politicians seem to be have a much higher than average chance to have done black face, but i think its just a cracker thing anti-cracker-aktion

      Most crackers don’t have people digging up pictures from a party they went to 20 years ago. This is average cracker racism

    all Lawler needs to do is say the picture was leaked by Iran and NYT will immediately apologize, retract the story, and fire some low-level staff

    Could’ve just been late period MJ, but had to put on shoeshine for the love of the game.
