Sephora worker confronts white teens wearing blackface as their mothers look on.

There's been a lot of buzz lately about a situation at a Sephora store in Boston involving a group of white teenage girls and their questionable use of Blackface makeup. It all started when a TikTok user caught the girls on camera with their faces covered in brown makeup, and their mothers seemed totally fine with it. The video, which has since been taken down, showed a Sephora employee approaching one of the girls while her mother was trying to take a picture. Luckily, another user managed to save and repost the footage before it was deleted.

The employee wasted no time in addressing the issue, saying, "I walked over here, and you were about to send a picture of that. You want to document this? Go ahead. This is the stuff that ruins jobs, college acceptances, let alone how incredibly offensive this is." But despite the employee's clear explanation, the group of girls and their mothers seemed unfazed. In fact, one of the mothers even walked away as the Sephora worker continued to explain why their actions were wrong. The original user who recorded the incident expressed her disappointment and called it "shameful," while the employee apologized to other customers who had to witness the offensive display.

The TikTok user who originally uploaded the video also shared in her caption that the girls were making animal noises while applying the makeup, further emphasizing the racist nature of their actions. And to make matters worse, when one of the mothers saw her recording the confrontation, she demanded that the footage be deleted because she didn't give her consent to be recorded.

For those who may not be aware, Blackface has a long history of being used as a racist and derogatory act, typically performed by white individuals who cover their faces in dark makeup to mock and degrade Black people. It's a harmful and hurtful practice that has been perpetuated for far too long.

Although the video was taken down from TikTok due to a violation of their code of conduct, the issue of Blackface remains a serious and offensive matter to the Black community. It's important for us to educate ourselves and others on the harm and impact of such actions, and to work towards creating a more inclusive and respectful society.
