    Whats up vanilla face?

    Is it ok to black up for Halloween ??

    I think it would be hilarious. I may not even go back, apparently.

    Then again maybe its wrong. Who knows ? - you do. Hit me up with your opinion, keep it real.

    Sounds like a lazy and boring costume but it wouldn't offend me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 328 ✭✭TommiesTank


    Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be okay?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    I'm not sure

    can I ask if you are dressing up as a character who happens to be black, or would your costume just be a black person?

    Haven't really thought about that.

    Perhaps I could be Uncle Ben...like from the rice packet.

    'Black up' as someone who can't use the search function.

    Not funny to 'dress up' as a black person. Seriously? Not really appropriate either.
    If you're dressing up as a black character then fair enough.

    Yes, because Black people should be subject to ridicule and are merely objects of comedy for us Crackers.

    Niggapleeze.

    If you are dressing up as someone who is black and not just your idea is a black person then its ok. But I'm a middle class white man so I dont understand what does and doesnt offend people

    You'll look like someone who was trying too hard to be edgy. Some people may find it funny. Most people will roll their eyes. Nobody will be offended except for those who want to be.

    Why don't you ask your black friends if they'd be offended?

    No, genuinely I would see it as taking the piss out of the Minstrel era rather than being a dig at the coloured race.
