it's really about the context, right ? here's a classic case of white people doing the outrage dance. This guy might not be so bright but his INTENT was to emulate his favorite rapper. All good vibes . Won second place....until, some righteous cracker ass white bitch decides it's not right, and calls the news for a juicy story. It's pretty fucked up. Owners can't defend the guy, they need to sell beer( and save face, so to speak) Lighten up , people. Go after the REAL racism in this country.

Some clown always had to take something like this too far. What a moron. Anybody with a fucking clue can see that Mary Poppins and her chimney sweep buddy had nothing to do with black people.
In a related point, I went for Halloween once as a Cholo. I guess that was totally racist in today’s hyperPC land.

Nah I was goofin on these guys:
It does beg the question of why a black foot is okay but a black face makes people lose their minds. Obviously it's ok for some body parts to be black but not others. And that's as far as I'm gonna go with that thought.

A few weeks ago I was playing a family "Apples to Apples" game. It got boring so we decided to switch it up and allow the judge to make up the subject of the round. My brother-in-law (who's black) said "play the most racist card in your hand." I played "toe." He didn't grow up in the U.S. and had no idea about the nickname for a Brazil nut. We were forced to educate him.

Don't some Raider fans go blackface for every home game?

Speaking of The Raiders, one year I wore a Warren Wells jersey for Halloween. It was in the early '70s when he was going thru all go his criminal problems. ...didn't wear a charcoal or black face, though

I grew up thinking that Swamp Music was racist

I used to work in the coal handling department of the blast furnace division of Great Lakes Steel. We spent a couple of weeks blasting decades of caked on coal dust from the walls of the 40 foot deep bins over the #1 coke plant with compressed air in 100F, 100% humidity. First time I walked into the locker room at the end of the day, a couple of the black steelworkers mistook me for black--seriously, not joking. They did think it was pretty funny when they realized I was a white, middle class, college kid.

Did you work there? I thought it was kind of a cool place--watching them push red hot coke out of the ovens or pour iron out of the blast furnaces at night. Nasty shit to breath but I never had to work hard. I had to cast off an ore freighter once. Found out later it was the Edmund Fitzgerald, in her last summer.

Nah you talked about it one time before and there's the whole "Windsor Hum" thing which many think is coming from there. My cousin worked at Bethlehem Steel's Lackawanna Works near Buffalo as a young man, he has some stories about that place too.
