*sigh* I know this is more of a cultural difference. I guess. Is the Turkish journalist that clueless about how blackface may be perceived by an American audience.

By the way "black face" in "The one who ask has one black face, the one who refuses has two black face" refers to "shame". Not the actual blackness of the skin.

--TRANSLATION--- I cannot translate the whole thing, it is too long. But I will explain why the black face. There is a very famous saying in Turkish: "The one who ask has one black face, the one who refuses has two black face" meaning that Don't be afraid to ask for things. He is trying to refer to that saying and asks Obama to end terror. He mentions many times He is not racist. Believe me Turkish people are not racist against Black people at all.
