	Blackface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blackface is a style of theatrical makeup that originated in the United States, used to affect the countenance of an iconic, racist American archetype - that of the darky or coon.
		White flface performers in the past used burnt cork and later greasepaint or shoe polish to flen their skin and exaggerate their lips, often wearing woolly wigs, gloves, tails, or ragged clothes to complete the transformation.
		Blackface minstrelsy's groundbreaking appropriation, exploitation, and assimilation of African-American culture—as well as the inter-ethnic artistic collaborations that stemmed from it—were but a prologue to the lucrative packaging, marketing, and dissemination of African-American cultural expression and its myriad derivative forms in today's world popular culture.

		Blackface minstrelsy was a blatant rip-off of AA culture and clearly derivative.
		It sits weirdly between flface and minstrel show as to which article it more belongs in, because, while it is clearly cultural appropriation, it isn't literally flface (no fling up) and the form wasn't literally a minstrel show (though RandB revues certainly have minstrel show influences, and they exaggerated those).

	The Blackface Stereotype
		In the flface myth, there is a white fantasy which posits whiteness as the norm.
		What is absent in the flface stereotype is as important as what is present: every fl face is a statement of social imperfection, inferiority, and mimicry that is placed in isolation with an absent whiteness as its ideal opposite.
		The new flface is therefore the criterion of transtextuality: an artifice which enables the performer to fill all the spaces that the old stereotype occupied and to be the star of the new show.
