Every halloween the blackface topic comes up. In a perfect world it should be a non issue but it obviously is. Wearing blackface is disrespectful. It is. You can go on and on about it being just a costume and for fun or whatever but it's an incredibly sensitive topic and i will never understand why you would want to try and overstep it just for the sake of it. It's an easily recognizable symbol for racism.
For the love of god dont wear blackface for halloween, kids.

Ya there have been a couple. Raffi Torres did it once and ****ing Bozak has twice now. If you understand the history of it you should know that you're going to be (and deservedly so imo) harshly criticized for dressing in it.
