Should we broaden the definition of lynching next? Use it to refer to any racially-motivated violence against blacks? It should be apparent why this kind of re-definition can have the opposite effects than its champions intend.
Nope, apparently not.

Because 1 guy (from what i have read) says its blackface, it is now to be taken as such. No room for questioning that either...at least according to some.

Yay.
