We’ve been here so many times.
It’s almost Halloween and we have a message for all of you out there planning “hilarious” costumes this year. Painting your face black and doing your best mockery of a fallacious black/African culture is both stupid and racist.
And you deserve to be kicked in both of your shins for doing it.
So if you have even the slightest urge to do this on October 31st (or any other time of the year ignorance or blatant racism strikes):
Just don’t.
Need another reason not to do your best “gangsta rapper” impression:
Just no…
Stop…
No blackface…no whiteface…just no…
Don’t you dare granddad…
Uhn uhnnnn…
But why…
Le sigh…
Grow up…
I can’t…
It’s not that funny…
It’s not funny at all…
WTF…
Have you no dignity?
You again…
This model isn’t exempt…
And neither are you…
BTW, don’t think because black face is off limits, that any one of these is fair game. Because…
Hell no…
Are you kidding?
Just be this girl…
And save yourself the trouble. Thanks.
