So people can't paint their face darker because the term 'blackface' comes with a racist history?
Really.....really though?

racist is a nasty word that shouldnt be thrown around lightly without understanding it
to call tical racist or closet racist is a bit overboard
and to say that the intentions of that costume were solely racist is just an assumption
that can be true but you dont know for sure the foodstamp accessory,does make it seem that way which i think is an absurd stereotype on africanamericans(watermelon, kfc chicken, ribs and kool aid)
with that said, african americans cannot blame the USA today for what happened in the past
I dont understand the concept of an apology from the federal government, meaning yes its a apology none the less, but it would have no weight to it because noone was around then to enforce the racism yrs ago
I mean maybe im talking out my butt , but i hate racism
and comming from a guyanese american, yrs ago I wouldve been considered a colored person, but im allowed to live a equal life because of the duties paid byafrican americans and I an greatful for that even if i wouldnt be accepted by african americans
on a side note the halloween parade in the city was bananas

it's not the fact that they are painting themselves darker that is the problem, it's that 98% of the time they are doing it to mock the stereotypesgiving to black people.

and on top of that, Obama isnt even that black. dude is more of a yellow color. Dude put emphasis on the black color for a reason. Its sad thatpeople on NT is saying that its actually "ok" would you let your kids dress up as a blackface obama holding obama stamps? wy feed into thestereotype and represent it for halloween of all the different variations of obamas he couldve done, he decided to represent Obama negativly and thats thebottom line.

That's why I brought up his girlfriend when I was "arguing" with him.
I live in Harlem 127th and Lenox if I stand outside the Apollo right now and ask black people what they think of this costume I can guarantee you the most theywould say is 'wow what a costume' they definitely wouldn't be on some Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, civil rights movement over a guy dressing up whatpart of the game is this?
My great-grandmother has been called and witnessed way more derogatory statements then some chicken and watermelon printed piece of paper for me to sit hereand catch a fit over a costume, dudes need a backbone seriously you really don't know what real racism is

For the record, since you keep bringing my girlfriend up, I told her about this post and she laughed. Also she'll probably end up reading itbecause she browses Niketalk from time to time. She's obviously not as sensitive as you all are.

I enjoy being told what I should and shouldn't be offended by. Just cause it doesn't mean #%+% to you doesn't mean It doesn't affect me. Postyour ethnicity and I can post a like example. A funny thing with these convos is i NEVER have them in real life. Nice to know how folks think when they'rein a safe cocoon like the internet.

I just think it's %!@%+% up that the Wayans brothers can make "White Chicks" and it be hilarious yet if Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson wanted tomake a movie called "Black Chicks" it would never get close to production, let alone be a somewhat successful movie.

Pookieman just messaged me and asked me to post his message:
Eh...since I've been banned again, I can't write in the thread, anywho...I see where you were coming from with your post...and I know dudes is jumping on like sheep....but here is what they are saying.......they are upset because of the negative connotation displayed by that Obama costume, you can't deny that it's not blatantly stereotypical (food stamps) - did dude deserve to get beat., who knows - I wasn't there, but I know he wasn't getting my vote for funniest costume....I won't say he's racist, but he is stupid
And to the dudes saying it isn't a Double standard....well it is in a way....but I am not portraying a white man in a negative way - if I were to come out looking, like your stereotypical "white trash" character then that would be a definite issue....I just wanted to be a white guy....it was fun, no hate intended...
Anyways, do me a favor....post this entire message for me, I will be your one remaining black NT friend if you do...lol....but if you don't, I will be forced to e-thrash you
Someone make this sequence into a GIF for me.....
So now we've resorted to childish insults. Good job buddy, you really show your intelligence with that one.

honestly, obama is THAT dark? and obama is mixed, so he's not fully 'black' so yes, you are wrong.
