I wanted to show a foreigner a picture of what blackface looked like. I wanted a modern day picture in color so it was easier for them to recognize.
Problem is when I look on google images the only results that come up are that of a Christmas Elf called Zwarte Pete from Holland.
I had guessed that this may be intentional censorship so as not to give this particular form of hate speech a voice by eliminating it from search results.
To me this is a perfect example of why such censorship is counterproductive. The end result was I was unable to educate someone about this form of hate speech effectively.
@freemo, informed by Michel Foucault's lectures on cynical parrhesia
[https://foucault.info/parrhesia/foucault.DT4.praticeParrhesia.en/, "Scandalous behavior"],
as a grandson of the Bezirksschornsteinfegermeister of Urach, I dressed up as chimney sweep for Halloween a few years ago, mostly to show that the Southern Californa burner crowd that their demand for assigning their interpretation of the symbol "blackface" (hate), even though for me, it's a symbol of luck and family tradition,
is a typical case of US parochialism and cultural imperialism.
It's possible that some Hollywood screen writers attended that Halloween party, so it's rather unlikely but not impossible that this ended up as inspiration for a Tonight Show skit with Jimmy Fallon and Christoph Waltz

which, once you've suffered through reading through Foucault's lecture, is a textbook case of Cynical parrhesia.
That said, if you just want blackface without the intellectual overhead of my reduction to practice of Foucault's interpretation of antique cynical philosophy, you probably want to google the term "minstrel show",
