Blackface

Blackface is a term in performance art for the black makeup wore by a nonblack dramatic prerformer so as to play the role of a black. The role is usually considered offensive, though typically musical or comedic. The term also refers to the white persons or their institutions which claim to be nonracist and patronizing black people but are generally perceived as insincere or ineffective.
