All over Social media this year I saw this "Blackface isn't ok for Halloween!".. Google "blackface not ok for Halloween" and pick your source if you didn't hear this.
I felt like I was the only one wondering why.
Most people dress up as someone or something they are not for this occasion. I've never heard of a line crossed until this year. You can't go "blackface"....
Most Halloween Costumes are of something people desire to be. A cop, a fireman, a princess, a doctor ETC.
Share your thoughts on this. Is it offensive? And why? I am not racist and always think people should be proud of who they are. If someone mimics me, I feel flattered. Why is black bad and can blacks go "whiteface"?
Maybe I just don't understand it because I was raised redneck and was taught to be racist from a VERY young age. I broke the link...
Maybe that's the answer, in how you were raised. You had to ask? Of course it's offensive.....how could it not be?
