Setting aside that that isn't what I said, I'd apply "I think a long ago black face might be forgivable from someone with a demonstrated record of working for racial equality after they accept responsibility, admit wrongdoing, express understanding of the harm and seriously apologize" to a qualifying R as well. Although that record thing is not terribly likely for this hypothetical R.

Edit- plus, the thought that at least is giving people pause is "because he does so much good." the definition of what is "good" always flows from political stance- "that R senator may have worn black face but he's very effective at stripping away EPA regulations so maybe we give him a pass?"

Yeah, if someone is going to get credit for doing good, it's gotta be for doing good for the group that's harmed by the conduct.
