I was overseas and this Asian gameshow had people in blackface while at the same time the population loved their imported black athletes and pop stars. Came home and dudes was talking about how they wanted to leave USA cuz they get treated better outside america and I had to share the duality of love/hate for black people is everywhere, not just here.
So the short answer is its always a reminder to me like Ice Cube's skit "here's what they think about you" which came from Do the Right Thing which also has the scene where Spike confronts John Turturro about his love/hate for black people - same sh-t.
So yeah - its means something
