Has anyone talked to the Netherlands? Because in a month or so, they are about to turn blackface all the way up.

The Pete thing, yes?  Please remind me.  I remember that it's really bizarre and very racist. 

[omgzombies]

I'll just ditto everyone's disgust. It's absurd that this is still a conversation that needs to be had.

[jeaniebueller]

God, people are stupid.

That looks more like Flava Flav

Right? Kanye wouldn't be caught dead in those glasses. They'd totally clash with his Derelicte (tm zoolander) ensembles.

I know it's not the point but Kanye absolutely wore glasses like that.

Is there a blackface meme I can post on FB to remind people?

I had an acquaintance from college post a picture of herself and her BF and her BF is in blackface.  I was so appalled.

Yes!!! It pisses me off so bad H cringes when someone tells me they are Dutch because mentioning Pete is the FIRST THING I DO! He lived in utter fear when we fly KLM from Dar to AMS.

Should out to @natariru for her call out on the S&B board. I was HOWLING.

Or else "It's just a joke! Lighten up!"

Right. Because this is soooooooo funny. Assholes.

Ding ding ding.   She did think it was funny, considering her "haha" at her husband being thought of as a black man.

Because walking about the world as a black man is the surest way to guarantee a day of hilarity and fun times.

Oh Jesus. I just realized this was about a GBCN poster and not some random in a news story.

I...I just have no words.  What a fucking idiot.

So I've read the article three times, and I can't find the part where his ass was fired.

That's where I am.

She replied and she is gone.

And I'm left all sweaty and angry.

Maybe she learned something.

Friends of mine went as Kanye and Kim to a party this weekend and he did not wear blackface....shocking that people still got who they were.

I take that back. I just saw the pictures, and I have no doubt she won't ever learn shit.

[downtoearth]

That S&B girl was stupid... I didn't see the pictures, but you have to be some level of stupid to be dressing in blackface as school admin and that same level to not yell at your boyfriend for doing the same! I don't care if you post it b/c your racist party goers didn't confront you, they are some level of stupid too.

The original story on this thread has been posted on a local station's fb. From what I can see, 98% of the comments are by idiots who do not get it. They think the whole thing was overreacted and that people are too sensitive to find this offensive. I don't know why I looked at the comments but it seriously sickens me.

I hope he gets fired. But this is AL, so I better not hold my breath.

No.  I imagine she's having some kind of conversation with her boyfriend now in which they congratulate themselves on their un-PC-ness, and giggle at the "oversensitivity" of everyone here. 

He did change his profile picture. But the blackface picture is still there.

Because he idiot friends are all talking about how amazing a costume it is.

I was shocked that it happened and even more shocked by the response and lack of understanding of where they went wrong.

Imma say it. They probably don't know a single, solitary black person. Because you had better believe not one black person would let that shit slide. Not a one. 

And people don't want to understand. They don't want to know that blackface is outlandishly racist. Hell, did they see Ellen paint herself black and pretend to be Nikki Minaj? NAWL. Because people with common fucking sense don't do shit like this. 

I didn't mean it to be offensive? Fuck you. *not directed at the person being quoted, but the simple ass heifer who allowed this shit*

[pixy0stix]

I wanna see the picture. Please?
