so the connection between soot-covered faces and blackface is explicitly made

Was the explicit connection made to... "white entertainers appearing as black to make comedy routines funnier because it's common knowledge blacks are buffoons"?
Or is it now actually racist for someone to have soot on their face and be mistaken for a black person?
Does any of this bullshit help race relations? Expanding the definition of blackface to everything darkening, that's going to solve race?
No, it makes white
Times readers feel better about themselves. That's all it does.
