  • About her white face, they wear make up back in Elizabethan ages.

  • If someone came out with black-face makeup on, they'd get thrown in jail.

  • @violinist391 It's not supposed to be white-face...

    Also, people still do black-face and they haven't spent any time in jail...

  • God, Americans clap at any old shite.

  • wonder how long that dress took to make

  • damn I just realized that her name is Whoopi :D

  • @violinist391 1) Wearing black face is not illegal. 2) Whoopi is not in white face - she's wearing Elizabethan make up. The style was to make your skin as pale as humanly possible.

  • She makes one ugly white woman!

  • @dlweiss exactly! :]

  • @violinist391 erm. she's playing on that stereotype

  • @violinist391

    Women in the aristocracy and royal family wore whiteface in 1600. It's not a race thing, it was never a race thing, stop trying to make it a race thing.
