Joy Behar Under Fire for Wearing Blackface (Huh?)

Oh…this is just the tip of the iceberg……(the roach syndrome) The one (few) we just seen…its 20 of them we don’t

The photo on the right is in blackface?

Let me go look at it again because…??????????

It’s even more upsetting that it’s always a “Halloween costume”.

In full force too

We as Black women should be insulted that Behar is accused of wearing blackface when the photo proves she clearly is not.

CORRECTION: We as Black women don’t give AF what Behar is accused of …..this aint our battle.

Um…this isn’t blackface at all….Joy is Jewish I knew plenty of Jewish people who have natural curly hair…It looks like she got bronzer on but this aint no blackface…the reach is strong with this one…

Chiiiile at Raven askin joy is she her ant-tee

Yup!!! We are just going to keep it moving..Aint no bandwagon over here.

I believe because alot of South Africans are white because nothing a out Joy looks black in that picture. That hair texture is not exclusive to blacks just like long hair isn’t exclusive to whites.

I agree. I saw the picture and laughed. It is not an issue from where I stand. She looks like Kris Jenner.

You are making sure she sees this… Lol

Just by looking at that picture could you tell she is wearing bronzer because I sure as hell couldn’t. She looks like a white woman in the 70’s/80’s

I am not going to run my pressure up being mad at white folks. Everybody has said or done something that wasn’t in the best light. I’ve moved on.

What is the roach syndrome?

You are wrong. White people in South Africa are a minority; Black people at 76% vs White people at 9%. Do your research before you comment.

Yep.

Oh this needs to stop. Getting out of hand. Joy Behar is not in black face. In the 70’s and 80’s Jews looked more black. They wore their hair in their natural fros ad they let their skin get naturally dark in the sun. Then in the 90’s and 2000’s they decided to look white again.

But we associate white Africans with South Africa .. Stop trying to spin it. You asked a question and I answered.

Saying this shows your ignorance and lack of education. Try again.

She said she made her skin darker with make up. For what reason?

Very true

Exactly.

White people don’t have trademark on naturally long hair.

Exactly.

It’s not about her hair.

Girl unroll your panties from that bunch… Better yet it’s Friday just take those things off. To answer your question, yes I have travelled, I don’t even live in the country I was born and raised it but that’s neither here nor there. Travelling doesn’t exclude you from being stupid!

Actually Joy favors my Mother in this picture. I don’t have any issue with it.

Doesn’t look like blackface. However, Joy looks like she got something else up in her that she hasn’t disclosed to the public and been passing for yt all these years. Her eyebrows snatched tho’.

She looks damn good in the photo all I got for this

That too. Looking at the pic I don’t notice the makeup. She looks tan. Its not noticeable to me its immaterial. She looks pretty and not ridiculous like an aunt jemima or servant type costume where the joke is on us.

She look cute. I don’t see it.

She would have looked crazy without the makeup, especially since her body is so tan. It was October. Look at the center of her face. Pasty. She’s cute.

I don’t get it. Where are all of the “outraged liberals”? Only place I’ve seen this.

Fake outrage. Some people have way too much time on their hands.

and I ain’t got time chile …. It’s Friday and I got a babysitter https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a1c09c05a161641c00143234a20dd5300b7950483b060ea0f5902e531374ca0a.gif

Thanks for the link sis. I say to this man STFU and go away. He is always leading with the “It’s because Alex is white shit” FOH!! I care not a what about your horse face saltine. Good day!

ETA: This should have appeared under the link to B Smith’s husband’s interview.

If that’s the definition then I wonder why so many people were outraged by all those white girls using dark makeup to pose as black girls on Instagram and YouTube?

Back in the day white people tanned until they were darker than black people. Then they were getting skin cancer so they started fake tanning.

She looked beautiful!!!!

To look like a tanned white South African maybe.. ????????

Until she has to issue an apology.

those women were actually saying they were mixed and getting brand deals offered to them as women of color when they are not. that’s the difference. they got injections in their faces, hips, thighs, and ass to pretend to be “part” black and taking away opportunities from actual black women

Not all of them.

that part

They use bronzers. Why? Because darker skin is more beautiful that’s why. Whites love tanning, baking in the sun, sprays, bronzers, powders to look browner because its more beautiful.

I’m not talking about minstrel show black face. I’m talking about whites wanting tanned and brown skin. Even Kim Kardashian has gone from olive complexion to a darker light skinned black woman.

She looks fabulous!!! Folks stay reaching. Nothing racist about this. Nada!

Jews looked better when they let themselves looked more black.

They made this seem way worst then is. actually I think she looks good. Her make-up was far from The color she is. I see nothing wrong here

she looks like they typical jewish woman

She’s looking much better I agree, but I don’t think she meant to be in black face. What I want to know is who gets some of these fires lit. This is not the same as those politicians recently outed for black face and overt, obscene racism.

NEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

They’ll consider her before they’ll consider me, so yeah, she’s “white” to me.

She was going for that Pam Grier look.

She actually looks good in that picture

I’m so sick of the gays and the black face.
Is it racist when a clown paint their face white?

It’s a reach but hey it’s friday!

I see that as cultural appropriation. These young girls want to look it but in NO way do they really want to live it. It’s another form of white privilege as they can remove the makeup and go on their merry little way. JMO as there are quite a few people who don’t see it that way.

Now y’all is not gonna come for joy. Reaching much…

Back in the day everybody wanted a fro….
did she even admit to that curly perm? because alt of Jewish people have tight curls that grow up and out, hence Jewfro. Not seeing “blackface” in this picture.

She’s actually Italian. When she said it I was shocked because she looks Jewish. Her last name threw me off but that’s her married name.

Let’s be politically correct all around the board with this face painting thing. We NEED to go after the mime’s. They do it the most…ctfu.
It’s really not that serious folks!

What am I supposed to be looking at? Is this the first time millennials and I-gens seen a 70s white man ‘fro? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/55a11a1dc5ea4352e2e1bc2f96587b66f74f02e22c85fbff70117096e89cacd7.jpg

? . . . Reach

Meh.

I’m so tired of white passive racist liberals and their selective outrage. They’re the main ones starting these issues and call themselves speaking on “behalf of the black community”. I really wish they’d worry about their own failing communities and leave us alone.

They about to start digging up everyone’s old pics now…lol Better delete all my shit now while I’m not too important yet..lmao

Am I missing the blackface? Dressing as a black character without darkening your skin and wearing blackface is not the same.

Thanks! I assumed cause of the last name.
So she don’t even need make up … lol

goid Thing I have never cared about who likes me or not

Her parents were Roman Catholic. Maybe she became a Jew by religion but her ethnicity is Italian.

All she needs is a few minutes in the sun, lol.

But their communities aren’t failing. Shedding light on our issues is the first step to eradicating them

I remember this segment. It was about Afro hair or something – Joy showed it to make a point – Afros weren’t synonymous with black ppl or something to that effect. I vaguely remember watching that episode, but, it was more about the hair texture.

Cher got her ass RICH from that song. Actually. No one ‘told’ her anything.

This shows your ignorance of Americans. Man of us DO associate White africans with South Africa. Im sorry.

But this is the connotation MANY of US have. I personally know as MANY others probably do as WELL that they are other places that have WHITE Africans. We cannot assume what others know but try to understand why that is their belief. For US it is due to the teachings of our schools, and many of us growing up during the end of Apartheid. All we saw here splashed on our TVs were white Africans…IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Dude from Maroon 5. His white lady is from Africa and up until very recently I thought she was South African. Comes to find out she is Namibian.

So pardon our ignorance but PLEASE try to understand from where it comes from. My goodness.

Cherilyn Sarkasian has been fukked with over that song since 1973.

https://jezebel.com/cher-will-not-apologize-for-half-breed-1821681055

Exactly! But it’s not “us” crying, it’s leaks being distributed to media outlets, hoping to generate an emotion of outrage. We really can’t feed into these leaks (that aren’t coming from black ppl) because it comes off as if we leaked it, and are somehow upset by it – which we’re not (in Joys case). And I’m also p*ssed that SR would even post it knowing the effect that it’s going to have on all of us (crying wolf).

Their communities are failing. They have the highest illiteracy rate. They have the heights suicide of dispair rate. Hightestr meth, alcohol and opioid rate. They commit the most crime as per the DOJ but are convicted and jailed 80% less. They have the highest rate of children currently in foster care. They are the main recipients of public assistance. They have the highest rate of sexual abuse to their kids and animals. They also have the highest rate of teachers sexually abusing their kids. Of course they have the infrastructure to shine a bigger ligt in our issues when they’re the ones commuting self genocide. If it were us that owned the rights to reverse the roles the entire world would know the true nature of the white Americans and those all around the world. Their community IS failing.

Who can forget this classic SNL skit of Eddie Murphy going undercover in whiteface.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_LeJfn_qW0

Yep, all of that is true – however – they are the dominant racial group in this country and in the world. They can afford to have all of those atrocities you mentioned, and still talk sh*t about the rest of us. We are not in a position of power – they are, and continue to remain so. So, everything you’ve mentioned, as valid and accurate as it is, is a mute point because their positioning of power is greater than ours.

Also, shedding light on this (having other ethnicities or yt ppl speak on our issues) adds a sort of “validity” factor to the argument. I don’t like nor agree that their “validity” holds more power – verses when it’s coming from us or our media – but this is part of the circumstances that come with being a minority with limited power in your country. ?????

R@c!sm & stereotyping are as old as time too, should we forget those acts as well? Yt ppl will never forget – so why should we? You would rather the rest of us walk around ignorant to history, while being made fun of, and blocked from any form of upward mobility? Even if you’re comfortable living a life of sub servitude to yt ppl, the rest of us aren’t. To the rest of us, we want and will continue to demand respect and equality, because history teaches us that these are basic entities that yt ppl have (& will continue) to deny us. You couldn’t possibly grasp this concept if you’re ignorant or indifferent about our history in this country. And if that is the case, then perhaps you need to sit on the sidelines and stop being a distraction.

She look like Barbara
Stresand (sp)

OH God. Try looking forward for a change. I am so tired of hearing about it already. EVERYONE has opportunities in America. Enough about white people already. You aren’t subservient to anyone if you don’t want to be. As well, NONE of what you’re griping about has anything whatsoever to do with someone’s makeup. There are so many examples of people who did not have your attitude and have found massive success that your old story is just a wash anymore. The only one keeping you down is yourself.

yeah.. for 2 days! LOL. She made a ton of money. It was a hit. She’s a nitwit but that’s the way it is. She wasn’t fkd with at all.

It’s black history month, educate me on all of these success stories, because as far as I can tell, in the last 100 years, we make up less than 0.0005 of the wealth in this country – and it’s not from lack of positive attitude or initiative.

And honestly, I can’t rven respond further without being disrespectful- because your blatant disrespect of our current predicament and history is more than a little disturbing.

Good day to you.

Dave Chapell did white face too and no one made a big deal about that either. You are so right!! I wish we could allllll put a stop to this snowflake, mountain out of a mole hill type behavior. It takes away from things that are truly wrong and offensive when we holler that we are offended by the little miniscule things!!!

Now you’re just babbling. Carry on.

There is a difference with a comedian using satire as their profession( Eddie Murphy was being funny and providing some truth with his satire)to gain laughs in a non-malicious way, and a person doing the exact same thing maliciously to hurt and exhibit their racist views. Jimmy Fallon did it when playing Chris Rock , I was not offended and it was funny. We should all know the difference when something is being done from hate .

? I’m happy I was able to introduce you to a new word. Should I send you an invoice?

I’ve been saying:
“BLACK people should NEVER trust white people who CALL other WHITE people racists”… since when do white people snitch on each other to minorities and NOT have a sinister plan waiting in the wings??
These DEMS in Blk face, from Virginia Politicians to the white jewish Hollywood types are all guilty.

There is no and has never been any such thing as “white face” or do you know of the historical denigration of whites by Black folks where we put white powder on our faces to play them as buffoons, coons and lazy ass clowns and did everything in our power to separate them from their humanity.

And Eddie Murphy did this comedic skit to point out the dichotomy of how white people are with each other when there are no Black faces in the room as opposed to how they may put on when we’re within ear distance. Obviously it was an over the top exaggeration, but any somewhat logical person with active brain cells gets the gist.

watchutalkinbout Willis?

Her skin is darker to look like a honey colored Black woman. You mean white folks only sporting the Sudan Black colors offend you?

The same Black folks crying culture-appropriation, racism and all might as well forgive the Rachel Dolezal, Kardashians & a number of other white women who have sported the looks of Black women or claim to identify as Black.

Hypocrisy is showing now that they are making excuses for Joy Behar. It is paving the way to say it is okay. Rachel can piggyback off of that.

Nothing like biased folks making excuses for some White folks while bashing those that they don’t like for doing the same thing making it easier to debate, whitewash the whole argument about being insulted or feelings being hurt.

Yeah I don’t see where her skin looks darker… she curled her hair or put on a curly wif but I don’t see where she crossed the line

Hey …ytpepo…BLACK FACE is when u go that extra mile on Halloween to go buy black paint and smear that shat all over your face…this pic is actually done correctly…ok bye…

Didn’t Shawn and Marlon Wayans make a movie dressed as Two White Girls… sigh.. this is becoming redundant.. At this point I can see folk are going to go back and forth about who wore Black face and White face.. constantly ?

How old is that pic? (No I didn’t watch the video) she actually looks good…

This is another non-story. Her hair is probably a wig, or it could be her natural curly hair — she IS Italian. And the makeup is just that — Makeup. Did anyone mention Whoopi and Ted Danson yet? What’s wrong with Halloween makeup to look like someone else?

Not just Dems, but a Republican in the VA legislature wore black face, that’s why nothing’s being done against the Dem governor.

True dat. But my comment was based on the media trying to soften the blow which you know they would not do if the governor was a republican. And they are going soft on the man being accused of rape because he is black. A different standard means lack of respect for those victimized.

She said it was for a Halloween party, and listening to her describe it, and seeing the measure to which she did it, I’d say this was admiration. No disrespect, taunt, mock, ridicule, scorn jeer, or tease. But to each his own is where this topic will end.

I thought I was the only one confused. WTF is going on these days. We have to gain control over this BS. It’s time for us to stand up for ourselves, define ourselves and our objectives. WE need leadership so badly.

Yes Rachel lied but she thinks she’s black just like many people think they are one thing when in reality they are something else but they believe their own delusion. Regardless of the reason for doing that, it’s clearly wrong when you do so on a world stage.

Ok thanks for the clarification…this gets on my last nerve. We have bigger fish to fry!!!!

I get all that. I’m not personally offended by Joy’s photo. I think she looks pretty to be honest. And i said what i said.

If that is the case, Joy should stay black because I’ve never seen her look this good.

To me, blackface is when they look clownish/cartoonish and over exaggerate African features for the sole reason to mock.
I believe her when she said she dressed up as a pretty African. When white women are honest and not jealous, they really do admire black women’s beauty. They compliment me all the time.
I’m not sure if she is Jewish or not but they can get a straight up fro. My sis’ hair is just like my friend’s Jewish gf, and my male Jewish friend’s hair is kinkier than mine and many black men I know. He has had to go to a black barber since he was little.

Thank you. Ms. Chocolate ??

Nah, the lead guitarist from Journey Neal Schon.

I think that people need to accept that there are certain features that most people find attractive these days. That includes big lips, big eyes, long, silky hair, contrasts like light eyes + straight hair + tan skin, smaller noses and ample breasts and butts. I don’t think it is even a “race” deal. Just a feature deal, and the fact of the matter is that combination of features isn’t easy to find. Maybe in places like Brazil where there is so much European, Indian, Black and even Middles Eastern mixing.

She’s not Jewish, tho’ She’s Catholic. Don’t matter tho’, this is stupid to get riled up over.

She is NOT Jewish! She is Catholic. It don’t matter, tho’, cause this ain’t something to get crazy over.

LMAO! Excellent commentary!

Agree to disagree then?

Either way the shit isnt offensive….you happy now???

Yeah, ’cause you educated yourself. Still, no reason to get crazy over.

…she doesn’t look like she’s wearing black face to me.

Thank you

REAAAAAACHING!!!!
