THE STATE OF MASS IN MY OPINION IS PRETTY LIBERAL. SO HE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE INTENSITY OF THE UNDERTONES THESE COSTUMES PORTRAY BC HE IS FROM AN ACCEPTING PART OF THE COUNTRY.

I've yet to see someone dress as a "black". I don't go to costume partys and ask what are you suppose to be and get replies like "mexican" "black" "Asian" like yall sound foolish. This is where you reach middle ground as I said. When you see a kid in black face, dreads, styrafoam cup, and he slurring his words mumbling around and %#!@. You gonna take that as him saying black people are too dumb to speak properly, or are you gonna take it that his costume is lil wayne and that is his perception of that person (which is accurate). I can't say I often see blatantly racist costumes, yeah some people get carried away but the offensive %#!@ isn't openly accepted. Yall acting like dudes are running around dressed as slaves and everyone is laughing about it. Keyword is costume, halloween is a day when people put on make up to change their appearance, men dress as women, and people do out of the ordinary %#!@ because it suits the event. A man dressing as a women isn't poking fun at ******s, it's a costume. Same goes for a person wearing make up to darken their face and look more like whoever they are trying to look like. It's halloween, the one day you can be anyone or anything you wanna be, and just go out and have fun. You PC dudes ruin everything, reaching #%% lames smh

I misunderstood you then. Based on what I've heard from people outside my city, they believe Boston remains in a state similar to the desegregation busing days

The thing is that you don’t look more realistic. You don’t look more like him because you have on blackface and to anyone who is offended by blackface, you just look like a racist in blackface. If someone couldn’t tell you’re dressed as Wayne before the the blackface, especially with all his other unique aesthetic attributes and current popularity, then the blackface isn’t going to clue them in. So what you really have, with the addition of blackface, is an increase in the offensiveness of your costume. With that in mind, a person cant claim it’s an ‘innocent’ enhancement in the realism department.
This whole notion that blackface adds to the authenticity of a costume is ridiculous, and incorrect in most cases. Think about these Halloween blackface costumes we’ve seen over the years. They’re usually crudely done, that is to say it’s obvious Tropic Thunder’s makeup team wasn’t involved. At least look Black if you want to use the argument that it enhances the costume. I’m sorry, but I cant accept this argument if you take a sharpie to your face.

I don’t think I fall into your ‘offended people’ category, but I think it’s a terrible/stupid costume. If I gave you a hundred guesses, would you ever think of Justin Timberlake?

besides...well in my opinion, if you wanna dress up as someone specific, you dont have to go as far as painting your face white/black/brown/yellow. if the costume is good, people will know.

what's the difference between these costumes and a bunch of predominantly white fraternities hosting a "Compton Cookout" or a "ghetto"-themed party? correct me if i'm wrong, but a lot of you cats talking about "soft"-this and "extra sensitive"-that were probably some of the same individuals who were irate about the idea of a "Compton Cookout."
on another note, when did generalizing, stereotyping, and/or appropriating become acceptable behavior?

They're just costumes folks. They dress that way to get a cheap laugh. I highly doubt that they woke up that morning with the intent of mocking the history of the specific character they are dressing as. They are not thinking that deep into it. You really think a person dressed as a Geisha is leaving their house with the intent to make a mockery of the history of the Geisha? No they are just simply going out in an Asian costume, nothing more nothing less. The offended party is the one that is "looking to deep into it". Seems these days everybody wants a piece of the political correctness pie. This is the definition of over sensitive
