I just don't get how anyone in 2015 thinks it's anything less than completely inappropriate.

The photos and captions were appalling. The conversation about how inappropriate and racist blackface is happens EVERY Halloween, so to say "I didn't know it's racist" is basically like saying "I'm a moron who doesn't read".

Or "I actually like being a racist, and figured everyone was cool with it"

Got it. I really like to think people are ignorant vs mean spirited but it's still unfortunate this even had to be said.

I would like to think it's simply ignorance, but some of the comments/captions indicate otherwise.

I don't know what this specific post this is about but there was something on CE&P about a school official in Alabama that dressed in black face. It horrifies me that someone that ignorant and/or racist can be influencing the young minds of America.

This kinda doesn't shock me sadly.
ETA: I want to clarify that it was blonde407, not that you are calling her out.

Neither do graphic fetus pictures. But breastfeeding is considered obscene.

FB is like someone's fucked up drunk conservative uncle.

Right? Don't expect to see any pictures of Zuckerbooger's wife nursing their baby because it's obscene and violates FB standards. Until she has problems nursing. Then watch it become a cause that they rally behind and they quickly change said terms.

My sincerest apologizes to each of you ladies that were offended by any photos or comments that were seen on my FB over the weekend--none were meant to be racist and assure you that wasn't my boyfriends intent either when choosing his costume--Morgan Freeman. I understand that deleting the photos, and no matter how many times I apologize, will change how you feel about me and my decision to post them, but again, I'm deeply sorry.
