i think the kkk stuff was in bad taste but dont really have a problem with the african theme in general for that bday party. i mean its a party, its fun, who cares. dont understand the uproar everytime a white guy has a black guy costume

i know blackface was a minstrel show thing. but there is a difference between
-using blackface to make fun of blacks like hee-haw did by exagerating features and characteristics to create a caricature and -using blackface to just be black for a theme or a costume some hockey player got in hot water last year for dressing up as a black guy. i legit just dont see the big deal. it was african themed, there are lots of blacks in africa lol |

Every halloween the blackface topic comes up. In a perfect world it should be a non issue but it obviously is. Wearing blackface is disrespectful. It is. You can go on and on about it being just a costume and for fun or whatever but it's an incredibly sensitive topic and i will never understand why you would want to try and overstep it just for the sake of it. It's an easily recognizable symbol for racism.
For the love of god dont wear blackface for halloween, kids. Quote:

Agreed, piss funny.
As for painting your face black, depends on context imo. The KKK costume is fucking daft though, anyone can see that is inappropriate. Speaks volumes about those people if that person actually felt it would be received well to turn up to an African themed party dressed as a member of the KKK ffs. I'm assuming this is more of a thing in America tbh, I remember this happening and everybody saying it was pathetic how anyone had tried to claim it was racist: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/...25_306x423.jpg |

Not quite sure what to think about this yet. I can't help but smile at the tombstone though. |
