Because traditional blackface was done to animalize blacks. It's like have an incredibly abusive dad growing up. As an adult you've both tried to put your pasts behind you but he tries to playfully say he'll kick your ass if you do something. He lost his right to ever say that, even though he's changed and would never hit you again. That's how some people feel today about blackface, though I for one think it's bullshit. My dad's dead and I'm not my dad, stop trying to stop me from playful fun.
