Another step towards the bottom for the US... "Halfway through the clip, one of the members, in an attempt to portray rapper Jay-Z, appears made up in blackface.
Blackface is a type of theatrical makeup popularized in American minstrel shows in which typically white performers painted their faces black to create a caricature of a black person. The shows commonly played on racial stereotypes and have long since disappeared from the scene.

Report Copyright Violation | Re: Political Correctness Has Officially Jumped The Shark! I don't know why we are supposed to be concerned about whether the black people are offended.
