Student magazine warns against 'racist' Halloween costumes
Campus Reform ^ | October 12, 2017 | Nicholas Bellopatrick

The latest issue of a magazine run by Ohio State University students features a flow-chart designed to help students determine whether their Halloween costume is racist.

The guide published in 1870 Magazine allows students to ask themselves a series of questions about their costume ideas, directing them to one of several determinations based on their responses.

Shouldn’t our government send something like that out to us?

LOL

It’s a miracle it doesn’t.

It definitely is tongue-in-cheek.

Wearing a costume of anyone who actually works for a living is offensive to minorities.

The history of tattoos says they were first done in Egypt. Any non-Egyptian with a tattoo cannot complain of cultural appropriation until the tattoo is removed.

How does that explain tattooing among Pacific Islanders?

They came out with these campaign posters on campus a few years ago:

I enjoyed it so much I photoshopped this one:

It’s impossible for a costume to be racist, so what’s this about?
It’s about tarnishing the harmless American customs surrounding Halloween, which in the mind of liberals, is something Christian.

They hate Christianity and so want to wipe it out, along with all other American icons. Plus they want to make us feel guilty about everything we say or do, or don’t say or don’t do.

Let the kids have fun with Indian costumes, witch, soldier and pirate. But please, no muzzy or bammy costumes.

Finger snapping goes back to the 1950s beatniks who would snap approval. “Snaps, man” means cool or good.

Clapping is too square.

Rush read a great article last month or so where the debates now rather than focus on logic and reason begin, “Speaking as a (group member) I feel...”

And that passs for debate now.

“Speaking as a transgendered biracial began, I feel...”

You can’t even talk to them unless you’re equally oppressed or have a bigger oppression card to play.

Watch the video I posted from Yale. He’s talking reason and free speech as a value and concept on campus. He’s greeted with shrieking and the shrieker - rather than referred psychiatric care - wins the day. Professor and his wife forced to leave Yale.

How about adding one with a gray alien—in both the before and after picture!

So go gyrrnDyeing your skin green as part of a Halloween Costume may sound a bit weird. But trust me, I have done it dozens of times with no ill effects (at least that I have noticed). And having green skin definitely makes your costume more interesting and gets attention.

Why green you ask? I have tried other colors, but green looks especially strange and exotic. And green skin lends itself to lots of Halloween costumes. Witches and Vampires with green skin are scarier and of course all alien costumes will benefit from green skin- E.T. anyone?

I’m not a fundamentalist, but I’ve grown sick of this adult obsession with Halloween, on several levels. These people think the occult is “cute” or “fun” and don’t know what they are talking about. Moreover, the whole costume thing used to be a kid thing, but now adults are doing it, and making it - for some - the biggest day of the year.

Transgenders should be banned for portraying a sex of which they are not a member. It is gender appropriation.

ot gp gtrrn this way
Procedure:
You will need one large bottle of liquid green vegetable dye (food coloring). (Do not use fabric dye which is toxic).

Stand in the shower or bath tub. It is a good idea to have some water in the bottom of the shower or bath so that it dilutes the dye. Food dye sometimes can stain tiles, although it can be scrubbed off easily.

Mix some green dye with 16 ounces of water in a bowl. Start with a small amount of dye (about an ounce0 and add more after you try it on your skin to get the effect you are looking for. You can put the dye everywhere, it has never irritated anyone that I know of, but of course you don’t need it in places that no one will see.

After the dye is everywhere that you want it, let it dry by itself as much as possible. You can pat it with paper towels to speed the process.

Cautions:
Almost all the green color can be washed off your skin with soap and a good scrubbing with a washcloth, but a little may remain in creases etc. It may take a couple of more showers to be completely gone.

The dye will remain in your hair longer that it will on your skin. Of course, depending on your age, this is a very popular look.

Your bedsheets will be green and possibly ruined if you go to bed before you wash most of the green off. On the other hand, waking up with someone green can be interesting.

Halloween can be so fun!
Try being green. Once you do, you may want to make it a habit. You’ve been warned.

Oh, and red hair looks especially great with green skin!

I’m not a tattoo expert, I’m good to add them to the authorized list :)

I was at a Wal-Mart for the first time in a long time at this time of year.

There were hundreds of adult, sort of furry, one piece costumes, looked like pajamas with masks. Embarrassing to see so many. I remember dressing up in my twenties for Halloween Parties that were distinctively adult. But adults in rompers for trick or treating...yuck!

So good it needs repeating!!!
Throw their rules back at them as often as possible.
Watch heads explode.
