If you wore Black Face once in the 1980’s, are you racist?

This is actually a topic aired on SNL this past week. I thought it was funny depicting every white politician as oblivious to why it was unacceptable at any time, let alone now. However, it does bring up a cultural norm from the past, which was acceptable to do makeup as another racial/ethnic background. Remember Eddie Murphy when he had a make up crew dress him as a white man so he could go into a bank as “Mr. White”? That was pure comedy gold!
Anyhow, I thought if anyone could tell me their opinion, if a politician admitted to dressing up in black face one time in the ‘80’s during his youth, should he be precluded from getting any lap dances at a dive bar from some AA ebonies? Seriously, does that make him a racist doing this one time?
Got something to say?
