"It wasn't blackface, it was black makeup."  
It's troubling to me that this line of thinking continues.  Two months is more than enough time to read up and get caught up on the use of that word today...it has evolved.   To continue to deny the use of the word 'blackface' is to continue to be part of the problem and not the solution *in my opinion*.  
The RG described what Shurtz wore as "blackface makeup" and what Carrington wore as "white face makeup".   I found it astute.   Even if  'makeup' was omitted, it would still be appropriate, but good for the RG to include the extra word for now.
