Yes, I would love to.
I would love to also say to Mr. Housefather that it is both a symbol and an emblem of hate. It is a symbol of chattel slavery. It predates even the symbol of the Confederate flag, which is really relevant to the south and is a pre- and post-antebellum symbol whereas blackface transcends the entire history of African chattel slavery in North America. It's not just dressing up. It's not just playing theatre. It is a symbol of being in bondage for Black people. It is a mockery and a caricature of the oppression and suffering that we've endured. It's very serious and that's why I proposed it. It is a very hurtful symbol.
I would love for you to consider that, thank you.
