The way her blackface “alter ego” named f—kin don juan just flies with people is so crazy‚” a user on X‚ formerly Twitter posted. “I tried to look it up earlier to see if she’s apologized.” Fans criticize Joni Mitchell’s blackface character X More photos of Joni as her blackface persona began resurfacing‚ and social media users could not hide their disgust. “Godd—n it! I can’t like any famous white folks. Always a d—n secret racist‚” someone replied. “She says there were Black artists on the album who said it was ok…and I still don’t like it. I was alive in 76-77 and knew it was wrong then‚” another agreed.
