Does anyone remember Al Jolson? His gig was to make up in blackface and mimic black singers, with the correct black vernacular. Not that phony baloney Hillary Clinton gibberish. Jolson would drop on one knee and sing his trademark song, “Mammy”. He was the ONLY white man permitted into a certain black nightclub in Harlem, back before racism became a cottage industry. Google him.
I am tired of these sick assed people of color deciding what white people are allowed to do.
Anything they wish to ya racist witch.
Yeah...your answer deserves Depends.
Some of the snowflake poosies may take your crap to heart and decide that you are the final word on something...but as for me, KMA...my kids and grandkids can do as they damned well please...and I'll ask no one's opinion or permission.
Got it, 'flake?
Now, go to hell, no passing go, either.
The premise of this article is bigoted.
After my Dad passed, I was going through numerous carousels of 35mm slides he had in a closet. One group of pictures was from Halloween in 1962. I was just a tot and wasn’t dressed in a costume but my older siblings were and a couple of pics were of them standing on the porch with a group of maybe 7 or 8 neighborhood kids heading out to Trick or Treat.
Among the cowboys, astronauts and hobos, etc... one of the boys in the group who was maybe 11 or 12 years old, stood out. He was dressed as a “blackfaced” pregnant nun. Haha, this writer’s head (as well as a few others, I’d imagine) would most certainly explode in this day and age. :-)
But there is absolutely nothing wrong with a black chick dressing up and playing a Viking in a movie...
I once dressed as a black guy, or a minstrel or something. I was about 12. I just remember that I really screwed up the costume. I got black face paint instead of brown.
What if a white girl dressed up as Rachel Dolezal?
Who says they can’t? The PC police? Come to my door and serve the warrant.
I would add that they are also the AUTHORS of our society. Without them, there would be no "our society." So yeah, they are the baseline, the default, and the standard by which others are judged. And that's been a pretty good thing for the last couple hundred years.
Stick your “white supremacy” where the sun don’t shine
White privilege.
Duh.
If Liz Warren can do it everyday, why not me? I’m going as a black Native American transexual liberal Asian. :-)
Considering non-white kids dress as white characters all the time, I’d say HELL YES.
Is she dressed as something?
Lets make Halloween, annoy a liberal day. White people should dress their kid so as to cause leftists heads to explode and if some faggoty cry bully complains about it, PUNCH THEIR FACE. Remember, the more they complain the more we do what annoys them.
