Black Face In Contemporary Canada

  With the  decline of blackfaces in America during the 1950s as the Civil rights movement begun, the blackface culture still remained within Contemporary Canada under the justification of 'just harmless fun'. Under the phrase of "embodied racism" in which relates the biological racism for the white subjected society's pleasure. Canadian News still reports situations such as the Winnipeg nightclub incident that happened in 2013, in which establishes the firm ground of present racial discrimination. Contemporary Canadian blackface has often included stereotypical traits of anti-black racism such as fried chicken, afro or dreadlock wigs, basketball jerseys, monkeys, marijuana, and in one instance, a Klan costume and a noose.
