But there is no blackface. He slapped on a wig and a nose, didn't do a thing to his skin color.

You can try all you want but you will never top this real life funeral director's Halloween costume.

Time to break out the trusty Edgar Allan Hoe costume.

That's a contender.

Scary as hell.

A police officer in Reno, Nevada, is under fire after he dressed up like controversial ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for Halloween.

The officer, identified as Antonio Gutierrez, wore a wig, fake nose and a sign that read, “Will stand for food.”

Police Officer Dresses Up Like Colin Kaepernick for Halloween
I don't understand why he would wear a fake nose. What's that all about. And Kaepernick is worth millions so the sign saying will stand for food makes no sense. Is it racist...no. Is it stupid and in poor judgement...yes. But I guess his role model is Trump lol

Anyway, in the past this is the type of costume that people would like. Social commentary, SNL. Now for half the country (the un-funny half) everything is offensive, unless of course it suits their political rantings...
Costumes have been offensive for years. We have seen many recent jailed celebrities have jailbird costumes. South Park made jokes about costumes in their first Halloween episode when Cartman first dressed as Hitler and then the principal made him a ghost costume that looks along the lines of a KKK hood.

My social club has an annual Halloween costume party, and the winner year before last came as a black faced lawn jockey, complete with lantern. It depends on the audience whether it's funny, stupid, or racist.
