Message to those dressing up for Halloween

Fo Real2 · 2011-10-26 11:25:50

Some of you seem to find it funny to dress up as a black person at Halloween. You may chuckle or even laugh heartily as my people are portrayed as "gangsta rappers". Well, it hurts my feelings. We are humans too ya know, not comical halloween costumes. I have tears in my eyes as I wirte this. How could you be so heartless?

Making fun of a campaign that highlights the insulting ethnic stereotyping that occurs around Halloween? So witty.
