Offended at blackface? Of course.

Of course, im offended and was offende even though i was there back in the day when they did it to make fun of my ancestors.. hell yes , im offended, Fuc- Halloween, its the balck face thats offensive, you mean they cant dress up like lil Wayne or reggie bush with out the blackface????? Hell out on a football outfit with his name on the back !!!

typo.. even though i wasnt there!!!

Seriously, It’s Holloween people. Get past the racial crap and just have fun! I hate it when balcks dress up like whites!!!!! Whatever!! Grow up!.

Let’s be real they all want that black swagga we all got in us… that is until the cops arrive!!!!!!

I don’t think this Reggie Bush costume is offensive at all. Nor did I think the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader that dressed up like Lil Wayne was being racist. These are halloween costumes! They clearly admire Reggie and Wayne and wanted to be them for a few hours.

I think we all know the type of black face that is offensive when we see it. That Australian group was straight up ignorant, offensive black face!!

Maybe if white folks had of never made fun of blacks with the black face back then , wouldnt be no ” oh you are paranoid”" Would you put on a Howard Stern face and add a big long nose to it and a white face.. Im sure he would be offended!!

From you own poll. Half the votes say grown up.

Yes! Very offensive. We have come a long way as a race and do not need any further ridicule 24% (24 votes)

Of course not, it’s Halloween!!!! 33% (33 votes)

Yeah this ish is getting old… 25% (25 votes)

No, Black people need to relax, it’s not offensive at all 19% (19 votes)

Total Votes: 101

@ heard that

That is all you white people want to do is tell black people to “RELAX” “GET OVER IT” “You People are Too Sensitive” That is our problem Black people are not standing up anymore and being brainwashed into the hype too forget the mental, physical abuse we been subjected over 300 years???
I DON”T SEE THE JEWS TELLING THEIR CHILDREN TO FORGET AND GET OVER THE HOLOCAUST!!! IT IS A MOCKERY

WHO CARES, its Halloween, give it a break

@Heard that & Billy,
So I guess anything goes on Halloween huh? Well, to each his own, but even you ‘relaxed’ types wouldn’t like it if it became too widespread would you?
If I see a m/f in some blackface I’m checkin they azz period!

I think any white person who outs on a blackface, Lil Wayne or whatever is ignorant and racist, if she adores him she could have been Lil Wayne the way he dresses without the black face (very racist and offensive) , she probably when you bring it down dont even like him no way)~!

Personally, I’M NOT OFFENDED. I think they were being very creative, and mocking the ever so sickening Kim and Reggie. Face it, Halloween is the time of the year when everybody dress up and pretend to be something they’re not!!! Lighten up people!!…Relax

Black people dress in “white face” all the time…
I think about White chicks, Coming to America, Dave Chappelle… I could go on forever but the point is people are always ready to pull the race card and it sets us back even further. It’s all in good fun people lighten up

Okay, putting on Brown make up in reference to your favorite celeb/character on Halloween is not blackface. Putting black/tar colored make up and painting your lips red is blackface.

All i gotta say is you dont see black people goin around with white paint on tryna be white. If we wanna dress up like a white person, we do just that “dress up like that person” but we dont try to change our skin color.

I think white people think its “cool” to be black so i guess we should take it as a compliment

Hey Rose…..u cutting up this morning I see. LOL

blacks (particularly on blogs) talk/degrade/demean so bad their own why should they be offended at whites when they do schitt like this (caricatures)??

I dont care if it is brown make-up its still darkening the skin and it was not necessary to do that to imitate Lil Wayne, can she dance like him/ can she rap like him , whats the point of the dark skin.. if she could rap like him or showcase like him then she would be on point.. what thehell was the purpose of the black brown (whatever) face !! we all know lil Wayne is black!!

Hey Sunny, yeah even thou you and i disagree , we are still mature enough to not fall out about it! But i still respect you for your opinion!!

Am I offended by it? No, not particularly, but just like others have said, if a Black person wants to be say Madonna for Halloween, we don’t go around slathering ourselves in white make-up, so why is it that the pank people feel the need to do blackface to be convincing as one of us? If you truly believe you need black paint for us to know who you are, then you need another damn costume!

That’s right baby…got nothing but luv for you.. my sista!!! Keep expressing your self, cause that what life is all about!!!Maybe others will pick up on our maturity and do the same….

I don’t usually go around talkin’ all reckless about stompin’ mud holes in anybody but if you’re not Black and you’re dressing up like one in blackface acting a fool, o sure I think that’s a recipe for a full-on, unrestrained, momentous whoop-ass right there. It’s not cute. Cut it out. Period.

@sunny~~ i know what kind of fool falls out about another opinion, i like debates it keeps me fresh and fiesty but some get out of hand ~!! And then the funny thing is when you leave here you still got the same thoughts, like i will say ok you are right and im wrong.. please~!

1. The so-called ‘Race Card’ doesn’t exist or is extremely overrated if it does. It’s never been an advantage to be black in this country and although racism has been overly used as an excuse often times it has been the case.

2. All this depends on where or what party these people attended. If a white person wears their Lil Wayne outfit at the golf club or some just about all-white frat party it may not seem offensive and may go over ok. Then again if they came to a party here in the Chi or stepped out in my neighborhood with that sh!t on then all hell could break loose.

3. Rose is my future wife.

The whole offensive part to me was the black face. first of all we all know lil wayne is black, we all know reggie bush is black.. if you can rap and dance and showcase like lil Wayne then you would be a good imitater of him but a damn blackface..GTFOH!!! Like i said i was going to be Sarah P but i never would put on a white face or white make-up.. it aint that damn serious~!

ROTHLMAO..Im going to the gym right now, i’ll meet back up with you later.

Another point I’d like to make is that, if the reason someone chooses a particular person to be for Halloween is because they supposedly idolize them, then it really says something to me when you feel you HAVE to make yourself the same color as your “idol” in order to emulate them… it means you can’t see passed their COLOR!!! How ironic, considering the fact that these tend to be the same people who want to preach that “colorblind” crap.

It’s offensive to me only because I don’t feel that blacks have come up enough in our society to be able to laugh at ourselves like that.

Vandellish~~~ Yes yes yes~~ i will marry you!! finally a proposal, JK, but yeah im offended and if she wanted to be Lil Wayne she could have been him by rapping or his showcase moves, we all know hes black s ame as Reggie B , we all know they are black~!!

PLEEZ PPL….get over it. guys go as girls…blacks go as white… Kim K went as a cat…maybe cats should be pizzd too…. its halloween. That dallas cowboys cheerleader that dressed up as lil wayne…..big freakin deal

It’s all in fun. If Reggie wasn’t offended – why should we be. Don’t get me wrong – it’s how you do something, not what you do. Some people do it to BE OFFENSIVE. This is all in fun – what’s the big deal.

When i am able to laugh at myself i will put on a black face or have my friends put one on then if its funny to me i will have came up from that then , until then i cant even laugh at it if a black person did it.. not funny to me .. sorry!!

The best flattery is somebody wanting to be you. :}

It seems as if self-hate and stereotypes are ingrained in many black peoples heads. Like some internalize their hate and believe the stereotypes and accept racism and hate. Its called something in psychology, I can think of the word right now.
Anyway, I am offended. The lack of respect we have in the black community is causing many other groups to disrespect us. Don Imus,black face people,overt racist politicians,etc….

I think Lil Wayne would have been more flattered if she had broke out in one of his rap verses or one of his signature moves but a blackface, hell no!! But im sure Lil Wayne dont give a damn.. im offended but he probably said F it!!!!!!

Start dressing up as white people then. Jesus Christ.

@YorkieLover

“Like some internalize their hate and believe the stereotypes and accept racism and hate. Its called something in psychology, I can think of the word right now.”

Are you thinking of “internalized racism?” Yes, I think it’s a condition that has been explored extensively.

I AM OFFENDED BY HALLOWEEN OVERALL.

NOT WITH CELEBRATING THE DEVIL’S DAY!!

i dressed up as a white person:

I had pale makeup on my face and giving pale white skin and long stringly hair all over my body.

Guess what i was: RIGHT A MONKEY.

It just goes to show you that racism is alive and well in the good old U,S Of A!!!

Hey, Sydney.

‘I think we’ve lost the sense of discerning when we’re being the target of jokes — or perhaps we just don’t care anymore. I wonder if a number of us even have a strong sense of self or our history.’

I agree, and it is offensive, but we have more pressing issues to be concerned with. We should focus our attention on unsettled matters that affect our people/community (black on black crime, out-of-wedlock babies, fatherless homes, etc) and exhibit a deep hatred for this crisis that has been continuing without termination.

Hey, Film.

“We should focus our attention on unsettled matters that affect our people/community (black on black crime, out-of-wedlock babies, fatherless homes, etc) and exhibit a deep hatred for this crisis that has been continuing without termination.”

I agree with you that these issues must be addressed, but I also believe that the derogatory cultural images that are being disseminated here and around the world are also worthy of attention and have a psychological effect that can influence the matters you just described.

It’s halloween, however, it seems to be a fad this year with all this black face stuff. Halloween appears to be the perfect opportunity for white people to resurrect something that is/was completely unacceptable to our culture in the past. The minute we don’t think it’s a big deal, you’ll see this type of ish on the TV on the regular all because some people feel, “oh it’s halloween” there’s no harm.

It depends how and why it is done. If someone is not black and wants to be lil wayne for Halloween then what are they supposed to do? Put on a braid wig and dress like him? People wouldnt think its him. If someone wants to be Beyonce so they put on a brownish/blondish wig and some one piece suit, people would not even think its Beycone. So for Halloween sure I am not offended but if someone is doing it to be purposely racist then of course its wrong. The Australian show was wrong in my eyes cause it was for a show and their outfits and singing could have explained enough who they were trying to be. Get over it its Halloween! And I am BLACK so no whinning.

I am now, and will forever be offended by any type of ‘blackface’. Halloween is no excuse… I can’t understand the pysche of a black person, nor do I care to, that is NOT offended… I don’t think I could ever “relax” that much.

Am I more offended by white people in blackface or black people behaving like minstrels?

decisions…decisions…

He is dressed as his favorite player, so I don’t think that is a big deal. It is not as if he is dressed as Al Jolson.

Sydney

Yes, I’m cognizant of this effect that you speak of, which was created to systematically lock us into a game where dissociation was forced among us. However, in order to reverse (or even attempt to) this sickening cycle, we must first provide solutions for home to bring about any deep social change.

What’s around the world is worthy of our concentration, but, the ongoing problems in our community deserve the most attention, IMO.

as long as it doesn’t come from a negative place…then no harm no foul.

Film

“What’s around the world is worthy of our concentration, but, the ongoing problems in our community deserve the most attention, IMO.”

I agree that the problems at home need to be addressed, but does that mean that we cannot respond to a blatant cultural offense? Must we compartmentalize to the point of ignoring certain practices that may only augment? I can mention other races/ethnicities that seem to have no problem nipping external actions in the bud that they feel to be offensive, and they still seem to address internal issues in their communities.

I don’t like the buffoonish behavior exhibited by some of us, nor do I like it being imitated for public ridicule. I think both perspectives should be addressed.

Sydney

Gotta go. I may check back in later. TTYL, and have a nice day

Yes, they use the Halloween day as oh i can do this .. get over it, Like i said i will not get over it and am very offended and MAINLY because of the way the black face was done to humiliate black folks back then! Actually if you want the truth .. What the fu-k did the black/brown face mean?? it could have been any damn body, she is so stupid if she wanted to represent Lil Wayne rap like him , have his swag and dance like him , thats more of a representaion then a black face, actually she looks like a damn fool and they come in all colors!!!

TTYL, Film

*this filtering system is out of control, btw*

Alrighty then .. i could never relax that much either, in reality i would be offended if a black person did the dumb bullcrap!! thats how offensive that mess is to me! All i can do is think about how those black folks felt back then be ridiculed and they had to sit there and take it even besides all the other racism they had to go thru!!

@blackcanbewhitestoo

Jazzy Faye dressed up as lady gaga, and he didn’t put on makeup. Take a look at sandrarose.com. It’s offensive, regardless of weather there was good intentions or not. The people with the bad intentions mess it up for the people with good, so just not do it at all. Because there are people who did it with bad intentions.

Sydney

‘I agree that the problems at home need to be addressed, but does that mean that we cannot respond to a blatant cultural offense? Must we compartmentalize to the point of ignoring certain practices that may only augment?’

No, there should be a response. My initial point was that when we divert our attention away from issues (that I stated above) that affect our own, or we aren’t vexed by the current Stepin Fetchit behavior exhibited by many black people in our community, it becomes a major problem.

We should address internal issues, but that’s where our point of focus should be.

‘I don’t like the buffoonish behavior exhibited by some of us, nor do I like it being imitated for public ridicule. I think both perspectives should be addressed.’

I concur.

Once i saw a picture in black n white of the white folks back then on stage with the black face~~ and they were bopping each other over the head falling down acting a damn fool (the white folks0 who had the face on and the white folks were sitting in the front role laughing their asses off and wasnt no black folks even in the theatre!! They were kissing each other in the mouth , walking with their butts stuck out and just out right playing the dummy role~!! Not cute at all and those poor blacks folks had to take all that ridicule.. nope not a damn thing funny to m at all! Lil Wayne or Reggie B or T pain or any body~!!

How is it ridicule???? If tha cheerleader wasnt painted black she’d be a white lil wayne… and same with reggie bush….no one says anything when someone wears a dam fat suit…

lighten up its halloween….ppl dress up as white trash all the time on halloween….relax!

I’m offended more at the black people who pose and take pictures with these ignorant people.

The folks who think blackface is OK in this day and age are completely ignorant. And its more shameful if black people think it’s “cute” or “funny”
I believe we are very capable of muti-tasking and expressing displeasure about ignorant behavior AND focusing on other issues that affect our community.
I don’t believe this is an “either or” situation.

I say again .. if i dressed up as Howard Stern i would put on a long curly black wig and dowdy clothes but i would never put on a long pinnochio nose and a white painted on face just to be HS , its not that damn serious! Actually the broad didnt even look lke LIl Wayne, now if she rapped one of his songs and had his swagger , maybe but to me the broad looks like she fell into a tub of mud and if you gonna be lil wayne , do the dreadlocks and the tattoos on the face and rap like him .. leave the black face alone , you only look racist and stupid!!

‘We should address internal issues, but that’s where our point of focus should be.’

Correction:

We should address external issues, but our point of focus should be internal matters.

come on Gd, its not that serious for this broad to be lil wayne,, If she really was into being him , do the dreads , do the tattos, thats what he is more known for , we all know he is black, he knows he is black.. the tattos on the face and the dreads would have made a two year old know it was Lil Wayne,, cut the crap , the black face was not necessary!!

I thinks its wrong and offense and its not because I believe the white people that did/do this are cross burning, hood wearing racist, but I see it as a respect issue due to the negative origins of white folk wearing blackface. It’s the same as a white person wearing or displaying a swastika…..but as long as the white person only wears the swastika during halloween and has jewish friends its acceptable, right?

@ Rose and @ Vandellish

When is the WEDDING so I can get my dress and invite??? LOL

Like i said i was going to be Sarah palin but i changed my mind, never thought about painting my face white to be recognized, its not that serious actually to me Halloween is more for trick or treaters, so why would i care that much to recognized as Lil Wayne or Sarah P!???? The tattos and the dreads and the black teardrops id Lil Waynes stmp not a black face, hell millions of black filks i would never have known who the dumb broad was trying to imitate if they hadnt of said it! Bottom line black face=== a no no !!!

Film

“My initial point was that when we divert our attention away from issues (that I stated above) that affect our own, or we aren’t vexed by the current Stepin Fetchit behavior exhibited by many black people in our community, it becomes a major problem.”

I agree, and I was not suggesting that much-needed attention be diverted from these issues. I agree with what Divine just posted, this isn’t an “either/or” situation. We can address culturally offensive behavior and still work on ameliorating our internal conditions.

To me, it goes back to the issue of the use of the word “ni**a,” which some whites complain they cannot use while a number of blacks do use the term regularly. There are some practices that are blatantly, irrevocably offensive, and blackface is one of them. It is not tolerable on Halloween (which I think some use as a ready excuse) or any other day. If you give an inch, some will take a mile.

big difference between dressing as a a specific person and a whole entire race. un acceptable to just dress up to be a different race.

@Sunny! LOL!! seems like my fiance (vandellish) has vanished on me and left me standing here holding all these flowers~1 I guess i will end up bopping somebody over the head with them jerry Jerry jerry style ~!!LOl!!

Don’t care at all. Too many people walk around getting all butt hurt about everything.

big difference to dress a a specific person and a whole entire race. dressing as a race is unacceptable.

X~~ you are so right she could have been Lil Wayne with the dread lock and the tattos and the teardrop on the eyes, better if the broad could rap which aint happening , but a kid would have known it was Lil Wayne but to dress up as a whole race was very defensive. plus she looked ugly as hell and stupid to do~!

Thats what makes it so offensive to me is the fact that they want to be but they DONT really want to be! betcha she wouldnt have done that in a black neighborhood, huh!! so dont do it around your white friends.. let her come trick or treating in my area and we will see how offensive if is to most blacks(cant say all ) and wont say all but i know its offensive to me and if she was really not being offensive or any of the other white ones who do this , come to the hood and do it and lets see if they sing the same tune!! betcha they wont be saying oh it aint offensive then!

I hate it white people so dont do it!!

Honey… i agree is the paint necessay? Wedy W didnt out on a white face to be Dolly parton , and theres pain with the black face no the white face and you know why.. because whites used to make fun of blacks back then , so why the hell couldnt she be Lil Wayne without the blackface/ we all know he is black, even he knows he is black~!!

And I’m sorry, as I look at the pic again…just the Saints jersey with bush’s name on the back gives it away…he did not have to paint his face!

@Sunny, got to go take my lunchbreak , im hungry as heck, hand in there… but my last word on this is ,, if she was so advocate about being real lets see her go to the black hood with a painted face as LW if white folks think aint no harm in it .. bet that will never happen but if you seriously meant no harm white folks try that~!! later sunny~ sunshine~!!

@ Rose by any other name

and Black people don’t do the same? ’cause I know a lot of us who have white friends but can’t stand white people

Sydney~~ Im glad they took it down becuase im sure that didnt set well with most sensible folks~!! wasnt cute and it wasnt funny!!

No Cal!!! I have to break but i know what i dont do ,, i cant speak for the whole black race but i can speak for myself and my friends and if i didnt like a person i couldnt pretend so no i dont have white folks as friends, work with them and treat then cordial but yes i can say i have no white friends and loving my life~!1

you african ameericans are the most racist, prejudice people i have ever seen, both on blogs and reality. and have the gut to call another racist.GTFOH….. and go eat some fried chicken or something.

This, to me, is just like when the Kanye/Taylor Swift thing happened, and white folks were all over twitter saying, “I’m not racist, but Kanye is a Ni__er.” These white folks know exactly what they are doing in both situations. Any of them that drop the n bomb or dress up in black face, Halloween or not, are trying to offend black people and are being racist.

@ Sydney,

“Forget Jessica. Try Taylor Swift. But, honestly, I can’t think of a single black person who would attempt to do such a thing. The whole concept is bizarre and jarring to me.”

Hey BG **waving**
Bye Sydney **waving**

Sydney has to be an obese swamp ape

No one said a Word about this being offensive when NeNe from Atlanta Housewives insisted that Kim (the white woman) get painted as a Black for her “Altered Ego” shoot. Kim refused adamantly…she does not find being black amusing. And people on gossip sites claimed that she must be a racist for refusing to do a black photo-shoot. Go figure…we can’t have it both ways. White people paying tribute to their favorite artist “Lil’ Wayne” by dressing up as him on Halloween because he looks strange does do give us pause for screaming “Racism.”

I wish somebody would show up at a party I was at looking like that. I would catch a big ole case.

White Chicks, Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy and so many others have done white face and when doing so have pretty much made it a point to play up every stereotype ever directed toward white folks but I’m sure you have no problem with that right because theres no history behind it right…but just as it was racist back then towards blacks to play up stereotypes the same can be said for the reverse now because as someone stated earlier black face was done to mock an entire race..well the reverse was done for the same reason and catered to a minority base for the sole purpose of laughing at black folks parading as white folks doing things which they consider ridiculous white ways…mocking a race is mocking a race…when you can only see how others actions affect you and not how your actions affect others you can’t affect a positive change on any level or any issue…..

And for the record everyone is from different backgrounds. so everyone is not going to be offended. i just happen to be one of the people who are. but i guess its how you look at things. when Tyra did it, as a Black model herself, i took it as her showing Her industry just how beautiful a model of color can be. but small minds think “well tyra did it” these people are clowns and have nothing of value to submit. with the blackface added, he does not look like reggie bush…so how do we know that he is supposed to be reggie bush??? because of the football pads and jersey right??? so what does that tell you???the blackface was not needed.he could have pretended to be reggie “need to get rid of kim”bush without it…..I’m done on the blackface thing though

I’ll say one thing about you, you are very creative,to be able to blog on a computer made of bananas and karabo.

Oh spencer, still salty about the whole Nicole Simpson thing? Keep your head up….(too soon?)

LOL I can’t believe y’all going back and forth over this.

@JDAVIS
im LOL so hard right now.

@ spencer

@JDAVIS

I’m sure you look normal laughing out loud in an empty room

Crackers don’t have anything better to do.

@sunny
im not a n*gger, im white.

Out of anything…I am embarrassed that these pee-ons dont have the common decency to know what is right and wrong. No common courtesy either. They should all have a lesson in respect and history as well. Dummies.

smells tyo

I couldn’t post what I had written in its entirety, so I’m going to attempt to share this in parts:

“White Chicks, Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy and so many others have done white face and when doing so have pretty much made it a point to play up every stereotype ever directed toward white folks but I’m sure you have no problem with that right because theres no history behind it right…”

These examples still do not compare to the history — and intent — of blackface over tens of years. A black comedian on a predominantly white show with a white director who performs a skit to illustrate culturally-based behaviors does not equal the viscerally painful history of the use of black makeup to mock and demean people of color. We haven’t had the power to affect the lives of members of other races, to deny them jobs, education, and other amenities.

btw, it was halloween and we can dress whatever we f*cking like and if you hate it go back to AFRICA.

IM NOT RACIST

Why didnt we hear this much drama when the Wayans went white face for White Chick??? People are always looking for a reason to get riled up. This litigious country needs to releax..and by the way, Im Black!

Sydney

‘I agree with what Divine just posted, this isn’t an “either/or” situation. We can address culturally offensive behavior and still work on ameliorating our internal conditions.’

I agree. Both issues, inner/outer, can be addressed. However, we must realize that many of our people aren’t passionate about the state of black America, and have become complacent and pardon negative behavior committed in our community.

You have to ask yourself, which do we address ‘more’ often? The internal matters, or the external issues? In general, which is a part of our public/private discourse? Do we verbally express our anger ‘equally’ or ‘more’ towards the lack of moral foundation, apathy, abhorrent, and disagreeable behavior exhibited from our people?

Focusing on both issues is not a common practice among our people, but I remain optimistic.

‘There are some practices that are blatantly, irrevocably offensive, and blackface is one of them. It is not tolerable on Halloween (which I think some use as a ready excuse) or any other day. If you give an inch, some will take a mile.’

I agree. It is offensive, and inexcusable, whether it’s on Halloween, or any other day during the year.

@sunny
n*gger= african american.

Context people. You can dress up and wear makeup and not be offensive. If the makeup is like Al Jolson, it’s offensive. If the makeup is just like in the picture it’s a tribute. Stop with the knee jerk ne gro reactions

Film

Hey there

“However, we must realize that many of our people aren’t passionate about the state of black America, and have become complacent and pardon negative behavior committed in our community.”

You have a point, albeit a sad one.

“Do we verbally express our anger ‘equally’ or ‘more’ towards the lack of moral foundation, apathy, abhorrent, and disagreeable behavior exhibited from our people?”

No, I don’t believe we do. So, is it idealistic to believe that we could do both, as we currently lack evidence that this is occurring?

“If the makeup is just like in the picture it’s a tribute.”

How is dark makeup a “tribute?” A tribute to whom?

yea right troll. LMAOOO

“Hi Uncle E, How have you been doin? I hope o.k.”

@SUNNY
oh you have a n*gger son.LOL

What does blank blank ???? blank blank ??? maybe im missing sonething here!!

I think that with all of the black men running behind white women so tough, that they are opening the doors from this type of behavior from white people. They have gotten very relaxed with this black/white thing, and that’s why they don’t have a problem with doing it. You’ve got these white girls going out of their way to look black, be black, and act black, and the brothers seems to just love it, so this is also why. Ain’t no point in people being offended by it now.

we need to find n*ggers and deport them ASAP.

@Ugly Africa you are amusing to me you continue to talk bad about Black Americans but fail to realize your own suffering of your country and your people…it’s ironic of you to put us down when you are unable to be successful in your own country…I mean you can leave America we haven’t asked for any of you to come here and hate on us because as black americans we are obviously more beautiful than you and yours on many different level…you are sadly ignorant and miserable…also you are SICK!

Wow – this is getting old. Maybe if somebody Black showed up at the party, then perhaps somebody might get embarrassed or something. Or show up in whiteface and do your best white girl/boy dance, yell “YEEEE-HAAAWW!!” and keep stepping.

Back to the topic No I don’t think it’s offensive if it’s for a costume party or a Holiday like Halloween but it can be offensive so there is a time and place for everything.

@choco
shut your old azz up.old hag how are you more beautiful than us? more like still a n*gger in america..

@SUNNY

@Ugly
What’s really sad is that your name calling is limited to monkeys when you guys in African will eat and f_ck a monkey so I’m certain you don’t need to know why a white person calls blacks monkey African’s got that topic on lock down-you are closer related to monkeys…

@choco

@choco
you have a 22yr old daughter and you talk like this? so you are in your 40′s?? dayumm UNBELIEVABLE.I hope your n(gger daughter get’s f*cked by a baboon.

@Film

I don’t see the issue as either or myself and can clearly identify intent versus humor or poor judgement and in each case judge them individually. We all see things differently as we are not monolithic in thought or perceptions, this situation we as a race find ourselves in is one which needs to be addressed on many fronts if we are ever to rise above it. I approach it from the stand point that its difficult to demand respect when we can’t respect ourselves much like you would tell a young sista how can she expect respect if she doesn’t respect herself. You do it how you choose as long as the goal is to uplift black people and I’ll go at it the way I know best which is give it to them straight with no chaser and be there when they need…hopefully we’ll eventually rise above our own issues amongst ourselves and collectively address the wrongs we’ve allowed to continue thru the divide and conquer technique we seem to have trouble getting past……I feel what you’re saying..

@Jamaican
What you hope means nothing you are a dirty stinky non bathing rasta..You don’t count-in fact you don’t exist in this part of the country bommacloud!

@Sunny
Tomorrow boo-hopefully baboon and albino will be in here -Truth and Spencer can kiss my azz…Bye Bye Animal Crackers!

@SUNNY
OR WHAT?

@choco
there was a case, about an african american man sexing a horse tho.LMAO

i am a black woman and frankly i am not offended
by this one bit.
black is beautiful, and who on this planet would’nt
want to be black. Please, if being black was so terrible why would anyone paint themselves to look
that way. I’m just saying be proud you’ll,black is where it’s at.

@Uncle E, I so enjoy reading your posts. Infact, I look forward to them, you are always on point. Something you posted yesterday really touched me.

People it’s Halloween it’s not that serious. And that’s brown paint…not BLACK face. How else is a white person truly supposed imitate a black person? I mean hell…did we hear the white community raising hell when Shawn and Marlon did White Chicks?? Get outta here…just like that was done for comedy, so was this!

Hi Just Some Cat. Are you still looking for my comments? Wow. I really hurt you. I’m sorry, and I sincerely mean that.

white people on this blog are so hypocritical. They make racial slurs about every race, but when whites wear blackface for halloween, they don’t understand what the problem is.

I don’t see how it would be offensive, if anything more of a compliment. Now if they dressed with nappy hair, pregnant with handcuffs on or something then I could see a problem. But they’re not!

lol, does the girl have on booty pads????????lol

It is offensive (blackface) and Reggie Bush is too damn stupid to realize it’s offensive, negative and not ok. His dumbass posed with that mf’er!!!

turn it around, like the film white chicks.lol who gives a crap, dress up as whoever you want its all in good fun. learn from scrubs, jd’s and terks relationship, we all human. lol
p.s scrubs rules

You know its sad when the post is about white folks and black face and yet we got black folks posting in white face just to keep up drama…WTF

I don’t see what the big deal is all about! Its a costume for heaven sake! Whocares? Should a smurf be offended if somebody came with a blue face? It doesn’t matter people find something more tangible to talk about!

@Sheripie

Are you a smurf? – And grow some damn hair on your bald head.

I’m black and I’m being a Nazi next year…or maybe a holocaust survivor..i dunno. It’s ok cause it’s halloween.

@kbreezy

I ain’t mad at ya.

“Blackface” is a caricature of black people, ie like those fools in Australia. This guy in the photo, the Reggie Bush character has boot polish over his white face. There is no attempt to ridicule black people there. There is no wig, lips eyes etc Come on people, please. Then the fools who draw a Holocaust comparison. Where does it end ?

I dont find it offensive at at all. My friend who is black dressed up like kanye west for Halloween, but its not ok for a white girl to dress up at lil wayne?

Its ok for Tyra Banks to dress up as Kim Kardashian? I understand the whole black face mentality but I also understand that people are shucking and jiving and directly making fun of black people either.

If White person called a Black person the N-bomb is that offensive? Same thing…Because it was Halloween you don’t get the Whip-azz free card. There are limits.

This kinda stuff is what keeps black people down. No, not the blackface, the crying and whining over every little thing.

Folk dressin up like black people is a testament to the growing strength of black culture in this country. When white people want to idolize black people it shows the admiration they have for those black people.

But noooooooooooooooo there is always a consistent group of crybabies acting like every little thing white people do just breaks their little hearts, which only goes to show how weak minded that individual is.

Nah I aint offended, why should we be? Its halloween!

I’m going as Nicole Simpson next year, because it’s halloween Dude and that’s not offensive to anybody.

crying and whinning aint keeping nobody down,, its racism and prejudice that does, we need to cry and whine and whip butts on top of it~!

whats offensive is white women sexing all the black men and having all these mixed kids , and white boys trying to sag their pants.. now thats REAL offensive and white boys trying to rap and to be cool like black folks,, thats real offensive .. the copying STOP IT!! GD!

Everyone knows that white people want to be black anyways. They’re just taking it to the next level now.

Why would this be offensive??? Sereously think about it….it’s halloween for **** sake! Ppl dress up as asians, hawaiians ect…..so what?? I seen blacks dress up as whites…how offending is that?? Doesnt bother to me! I guess if you’re offended it’s cuz you’re ashamed of who u r…
And BTW, we’re all human beings…so why does everything always have to do with color??? It’s so childish…grow up ppl…move on…there are WAY more important things going on in this world right now. Y’all should know that

Black folks, let’s get over ourselves. To me, if it is a Halloween costume and they are dressing up as black celebrities or public figures, then you shouldn’t be offended by “black face”. They are just being a character. That’s not really the black face that was used in the menstrual shows. The cheerleader was dressing up as Weezy. It wasn’t as if she was dressing up in black face with a bucket of chicken and watermelons trying to degrade black people.

It’s cool I’m beyond that. beside most black men are going to the white women any ways and most white women want black bodies. that how they are dressed up. That Kim and Reggie and her sister and Ole boy

Ok black people next halloween somebody dress up like nicole Simpson and have as bloody knife coming out of her chest !! That will be real cool!! cant wait!!

@white women rule.. first of all black women dont wear white hair.. its indian or malayshian hair, we dont want that stringy fly away hair, we like thick hair and thats what Indians have. Plus as far as black comedians like chris rock and others, wtf are you talking about, black comedians talk sbout blacks just as bad or even more than the white jokes. They are comedians, Don Imus aint no damn comedian and his azz wen on a personal attack just like that skank michael richards did.. gtfoh!! with that balck folks copying whites crap!
