I mean really? Would anyone else here consider this "racist"?

Or causes cancer. In fact, if there was a cancer that only struck racists, everyone would be dead.

The term racist is thrown around way too much. However, anybody who is in the public eye, and a Cowboy Cheerleader fits the bill, should know there are things you can and cannot do. Besides, there are infinite amounts of costumes she could have gone as. Why black face?

Also, I'd hit it.

Blackface has the face painted dark brown or black and the lips pink to caricature the appearance of African-Americans. Just putting brown paint on your skin doesn't make it blackface. It's kinda hard to pull off the appearance of an black man (save zombie Michael Jackson) without changing your skin. She didn't do anything to make fun of the guy either.

Obviously Lil Wayne is black and she is white... She decided to be Lil Wayne for Halloween so she painted herself brown to look like him because that is what he looks like... I mean really WTF... I am continually baffled by the sensitivity of people

This is when I wish I was a millionaire so I could pay for a nationally televised commercial telling America that anyone who is offended by this needs to stop being such a huge ***** and ***** about something meaningful. This kind of **** does nothing but perpetuate racism. </p>

decided to be John Elway for Halloween (scary teeth), and painted himself white, would it be insensitive? Would there be national outrage?

Double standards suck. Funny is funny. People need to lighten the 17 up.

If I was a famous. And a black person decided to be me for Halloween and painted himself white or peach or tan or whatever... I would probably not think anything other than damn that is awesome that someone is me for Halloween... I wouldn't be thinking damn that is so racist a black person painted himself white because I am white that is so racist... This rationale of thinking is asinine to me... and I seriously doubt anyone else would make a big deal out of it either

is that the most outrage you'll see in the media is from guilty white people, not black people.
