The intent behind the two instances is different. With blackface, it was part of entertainment, not political protest. With this Sweden thing (which I'm assuming is legitimate, as I've yet to see a source by the person claiming it, although I've asked), the intent seems clear, to me, to be political protest of the perceived dilution of their culture. Now if black people in America were wearing white face to politically protest gentrification, I would say that's more equivalent to this Sweden thing than historical blackface.
