Theres been problems with Blackface and offensive costumes each halloween. However, when a couple decided to dress and Kim and Kanye West, there was major negative feedback because the man decided to darken his face in order to"make" the costume. On last Tuesday, on Twitter of a girl in Blackface, body paint, butt padding and and a bodysuit to portray Nicki Minaj. People of all races are offended. I personally don't think white people should darken themselves to be Drake, Kanye, Nicki or any other rapper. It is very offensive depending on how far people go which this is pretty far.
I know Halloween is a day to be whatever you want but sometimes there are just things that should be left undone. Darkening your skin for a effing costume is definitely NOT necessary. If y'all know whats best, then you will not go that far for a costume. People who do stuff like this I have no respect for whatsoever. I mean for God sake Demi Lovato SLAYED in a Selena Quintanilla costume. Even though she's a little light you didn't see her darkening hr skin to match Selena's color. I think that we should all just play it safe this year and not be so extra with our costumes.

Some people do it on purpose. However there are some that are just trying to make a good costume. However it's mostly the intentional part.
ReplyDeleteI feel like some people are oblivious to what they're to what their halloween costume might portray, which is also pretty sad. When people do it on purpose, it makes me cringe. It's crazy how low some people will stoop to get a rise out of others.
ReplyDeleteIt's really gross when i see this stuff still happening when i think for the slightest that were past this.
ReplyDeleteIt's offensive, wrong and in some cases rascist. Some people use blackface as a way to make fun of African Americans and others use it to portray and look like "us".
