Happy Halloween Week!

Yo, so this is Halloween week!

(I don't think the term "Halloween Week" is a thing, but I'm making it one, so there.)

One thing that a lot of folks are doing this year (and by folks, I mean stupid White people) is dressing up in Blackface in order to "dress up as their favorite character" who happens to be Black.

We saw this a while back with the White chick who was trying to be Michonne from The Walking Dead

This "stupid White people in blackface" was more recently done on a larger scale by UCLA students at a frat party this month which basically ended up being a direct copy of the 3rd act of the movie Dear White People, without any of the intentional irony of a feature film written as a satire. 

Even more recently, last week, an idiot teacher (!!!) in Alabama dressed in Blackface to pretend to be Kanye West. Hi apology included one of the following:

Of course, other White people were quick to defend this guy, such as this lovely example...

Very cute... OK, so first off, the biggest difference is that, in the movie White Chicks (left), they were actually undercover as... White chicks. Same thing as RDJ character in Tropic Thunder (who was a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude). It's part of a PLOT... In a MOVIE. This teacher one (right) isn't. Also, why do you have to be in Black face to be Kanye tho? Why not just wear his clothes? Stupid.

Then there's, oh I don't know, THE ENTIRE RACIST/DEGRADING HISTORY OF BLACKFACE. I won't go into it (because if you don't know the concept, you are a moron and I'm not wasting my time with you), but just because I believe in education and knowing one's history, please spool through this very imformative website here: http://black-face.com/
There is also wikipedia, and a thing called "basic knowledge".

Any-who, here's my own Halloween costume for 2015:

Edward Nygma, aka The Riddler. Pretty good, right? Now notice the lack of Whiteface I used.


Be safe everyone. Peace.
