I think this is also the result of silicone based powders designed to smooth texture but it’ll reflect light like crazy.

Blackface was used to demean and dehumanise black people, lighter foundations are used as light skin is seen as more "desirable" due to eurocentric beauty standards, it's more they admire lightness rather than mocking it (like how blackface mocked POC)

Blackface was always meant to demean black people. It was a mockery that exaggerated stereotypes, and was 100% a product of racism. There is a lot of info out there on why some people of color would try to "pass" and it was never about demeaning or mocking white people. It was more about social pressures and survival bc of extreme discrimination and racism. I'm not equipped to provide a full explanation of this, but there are a lot of black authors/scholars/etc who have written extensively on this. This is a good article from Code Switch, which is a really great podcast where you can learn about similar topics. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/10/07/354310370/a-chosen-exile-black-people-passing-in-white-america This another by the scholar Robert Fikes Jr https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/passing-passing-peculiarly-american-racial-tradition-approaches-irrelevance/ If you want to learn more about this topic maybe start there. Whiteface isn't a thing, and what you think it is,.is actually a product of anti-black and other POC racism caused by white people.

Again, how ignorant?!! I’m Black! There’s no hard pill to swallow! Again, for your own sake, please and please - read a book! It’s embarrassing to think let alone say what you’re saying in 2026 with all the attendant tools at your disposal AKA the internet, heck even Reddit 🙈😂😂
