I dressed up like Buckwheat [little rascals] for Halloween about 35 years ago. Went out on 6th street in Austin TX and no one said a word.
Just goes to show all this ‘conceived as racism’ crap is manufactured for political purposes.
Sensibilities have changed, and I am sure that you would know better than to dress up like Buckwheat today. Again, why offend Black people? Why do something that would have even your Black friends shaking their heads?
You’re safe as long as you’re not a Republican AND running for office.
Of course, all bets are off if a Democrat has recently stepped in it by saying something stupid about abortion. Then you’re gonna go down in flames no matter how inconsequential you are.
