I’m on the right side of history here. Stop trying to make this about something it isn’t."Blackface was a form of entertainment condemned as, where white men would darken their faces to create caricatures of black people, including large mouths, lips and eyes, woolly hair and coal-black skin.

"no one was hating on you at all!!! we were simply asking for an apology. just because it wasn’t meant to seem like a blackface doesn’t mean it didn’t come off as racially insensitive," user @brynndefender commented. User @greenninjagooo wrote,"You finally addressed it but please at least apologize jojo. I know you didn’t mean anything wrong but it’d be nice if you could apologize to those who were offended."

Who is she?

Wait isn’t it culture appreciation trying to dress up like animals? These liberals are offended by everyone and everything THEY don’t like maturity would help them all a great deal

Folks always want to jump the shark on any issue.

I'm White ! Damn you white people.

The movie White Chicks were a racist movie?

These are the same ppl that thought Jimmy Kimmel & Joy Behar did blackface. None of these looks were worn in legitimate minstrel shows.

The mob will eventually come for any and all.

It was clearly makeup for an animal costume. I really don't see the issue being made here.
