Really!? He went as Kanye while his wife dressed as Kim Kardashian. I dont see how this is offensive and if you are offended by it then you're just the type of person that looks for things to get offended by.
I am sure his intent was not racial in any way. But he is navie to think that he would not be race shamed for wearing black face as a white man, regardless of context.

Come on. Blackface has been an issue going way back to before Al Jolson. At least in the history of show business, blackface was at least an historical issue. That educated people don't know that today...well, it boggles the mind and shows a total lack of sensitivity and historical awareness.
He should be mocked for such a crappy costume. He looked nothing like Kanye and just hung a stupid sign around his neck. His wife needed more stuffing in her bra to be Kim.
Seriously, as a teacher he should be smart enough to know this would cause backlash. Evidently not.

Exactly.
In this day and age, zero excuse for things like these.
Man what is the big deal on this? I could see if he was portraying Michael Brown considering what happened but Kayne? Getting tired of being around PC stuff so much.
Just how does one dress up in costume as a white Kanye West?
There is a difference between a mask and makeup? Nothing more than an attempt to scare people into never making fun of any person who happens to be black.
What ever happened to being human first, race second?
