Pearl Thusi and Bonnie Mbuli clash on twitter over ‘Black Face’

The images were  posted by the actress on international women’s day.

The term black-face refers to a non-black person painting a black face on‚ however Twitter felt Pearl was blatantly disregarding the issue of colourism. Even though it immediately raised some red flags for many tweeps‚ Pearl responded to all the “hate” by posting more pictures

.

Bonnie was just not having it and made her thoughts clearly known:

Here is Bonnie reaction to Pearl Photos

Blackface will never be palatable,I don’t care who is “rocking it” ,go argue with your concealer !

It’s hugely problematic, Colourism has economic and social implications that run real deep,blackface will never be cute,artistic or creative!!! https://t.co/nt4JrJT9Dp
