That's at least better than Julianne Hough going as Crazy Eyes. You couldn't even tell, she just looked really tan, it was a poor attempt.
The most intolerant people I have ever seen or heard of are those who preach "tolerance" the loudest!
It is a COSTUME, people, get over it!

As an added gimmick, I am going to bring a spray can that says "Zyklon B" on it and pretend to spray people with it.
It's just a costume - I am sure the Jews will see the humor in it and won't be offended.

Geez, people are so sensitive nowadays.
There is a very valid place for offensiveness. Sometimes it has to be done to make people think. It's what Bill Maher does but unfortunately, unlike say George Carlin, Lenny Bruce or Richard Pryor he's just really bad at it.
I have no problem with a Halloween costume that is offensive except in the rare case shown here and I explained why.

Sure. I am not in the habit of getting offended - but I am not like everyone. Obviously, blackface or a nazi uniform come with a whole lot more baggage than dressing up as a hill billy.
Millions of Americans and their families are losing their health insurance coverage, pardon me if I'm more worried about real issues than some stupid cop dressing up like a locked up negro.

I am more worried about cops using a taser on unarmed people. I am more worried about cops ordering a body cavity search on a man because his butt puckered at a traffic stop.
I am more worried about granting one hell of an amnesty for 12 million illegals just to make one select group happy.
I am more worried about a President that repeatedly lies to sell a bad law.
I am more worried about a congress and senate that care more about party loyalty than the nation they were elected to serve.
This cop may lack social grace and is a tacky idiot, but compared to some of the cops in Old Forge PA and Taylor PA he is a saint. Split Verdict in Old Forge Police Chief's Sex Assault Trial - PAHomepage.com
