I want the same black-face that Ted Danson wears!
One of my boys is painstakingly making a Star Wars Storm Trooper costume. An incredible effort for an 11 year old, one he is pulling off spectacularly. The other opted for a ghillie suite.
At a local Halloween store we saw people buy President Trump faces. Is it racist for a black or Hispanic person to wear one? Probably dangerous to wear one in some neighborhoods just as it might be to dress in Islamic and Arab attire. Dress as an American cowboy? Snowhite? A princess? Seems even the most tame costume will offend somebody.
What is acceptable, PC, not PC and acceptable?
“What is acceptable, PC, not PC and acceptable?”
I’m not sure.
Walk around your neighborhood wearing blackface, go to work in blackface, go to church in blackface.
Whatever you want. This is American, land of the free and the home of the brave.
How about the old days when we didn’t make such a fuss about every little thing?
Poor Meagain. She’s a liberal living in a leftist world.
Anything that offends the Dem voting groups is racist sexist homophobic.
Insulting Republican voters isn’t.
Got it?
Tropic Thunder has Robert Downey Jr playing g a black dude. People laughed. So it’s who does it and in what context that matters. But mostly party affiliation.
It’s an interesting question. There’s nothing really inherently offensive about it, but I gather that in the Jim Crow days, comedians would don blackface in order to make fun of black people. Assuming that’s true (as opposed to, maybe it was good-natured humor), how far into the rear view mirror does that need to get before it’s OK again?
The left adored him after she trashed Trump during the debate..now the left has decided to spit her out. Honestly what is the big deal about wearing blackface as a Halloween costume. Trump masks, Clinton masks, heck Ive seen Obama masks, so what its freakin HALLOWEEN
What’s wrong with asking people to THINK about the automatic assumptions they make?
It all comes down to “Are you under a duty to not offend the easily-and-chronically-offended?”
I would say “No”. This does not mean that the PC crowd would not try to do something negative to the offender.
Watch and see.... I predict non-black kids will not be allowed to wear Black Panther costumes this Halloween by the unhinged left.
<\img>Maybe she is trying to get fired, to get her lump sum for her contract, and leave for a different reason than low ratings.
