Honestly, I'm just about as offended that she thinks she's pulling off Kim Kardashian.

Took me a second. They're dressed as hieroglyphics, not the Egyptians themselves...

i've been watching all in the family episode by episode from season 5 forward and hoo boy, some of the places this show goes are pure wtf and a good heads up as to how the culture has shifted over the past forty years... the key joke in the "Gloria has a baby" two parter is that Archie leaves his lodge's minstrel show in blackface to get to the hospital.

NB the series of rape jokes at 5.40

Usually days like today are prime for mining horrible examples of white trick-or-treaters in blackface. However, it's just gotten worse and more depressing in the past year.

I know, "When was it not depressing?" I guess you'd hope things would improve with each passing year, not break records for how low the bar keeps getting dropped.

Recently read a good thread on social media from an ILXor, listing some of the worst recent incidents. And it's not just the tastelessness that hits you, it's how brazen and open these assholes are about pulling it off these days. It's almost as if they feel emboldened to do so.

That said, I enjoyed these fellas. Hope the guy on the right didn't get confused with being a white guy wearing a dreadlock wig though I personally would've appreciated the meta on that one.

djp has a roundup of this year's examples on fb

^ Yeah. That ILXor.

That picture created so much reverse racism whining.

reverse racism whining

thereby confirming the whiner's steadfast and unshakeable belief that whites in blackface are racists. amirite?

lol at khakis

American politicians go blackface.

But not Canadians: https://time.com/5680759/justin-trudeau-brownface-photo/

What the fuck is wrong with all these people?

Milkshake Trudeau is Racist.

I can’t believe he did it so many times! And he was 29!! Shameful.

NBC was a big fan of blackface gags

They were also the network that played The Apprentice. Something not right been up with them for awhile.

Countdown to the discovery of long-missing The Apprentice: Blackface Challenge tapes...

Whole network is rotten from the Today show hosts to the late night wars. Who woulda thunk a broadcasting company owned by G.E. would be so awful.

Oh, they're owned by Comcast now. yes, yes, such an improvement.

Anyway. Halloween this year is going to be horrible. I am looking forward to the McCloskey costumes though.

Er, I've just seen the Bananarama video for "I Want You Back" (with the woman who replaced Siobhan Fahey who no-one remembers)...

Beginning of Culture Club's Do You Really Want To Hurt Me video is another one.

some of us will always remember the Shillelagh Sisters
