I really dislike the Political Correctness stuff. Even though black face is historically offensive, people must be aware of its history of negativity objection of black minstrel shows. But a the same time it is he Halloween, and those that who participate in Halloween try to be creative, funny in many ways possible. Some people may take offense to costumes, while most wont. However your employer may take offense to such costume due to the feact that the employer is afraid of Sjw, Feminists and Pro Black mobs out there.

Let me get to the topic. A nurse was fired from her job for dressing up in a black-face costume as Beyoncee, while her date dressed up as Jay-Z. I can say the costume is an inaccurate potrayle of the super star couple. The black is offensive, but at the same time its only Halloween. The Nurse was fired. Just be careful what you wear during Halloween guys.

Ban cultural Marxism. But banning cultural Marxism would be authoritarian.

Yes I am. PCism is as dangerous as communism and probably came from the same source.

Besides, I get to decide what's correct too.

Halloween is when the PC police come out in droves.

Look, I get how it could be offensive. And is probably is to some folks. But at this point, with everything that we see on the news and social media with stuff like this going viral, how can one think it's a good idea as a white person to dress up in black face?

Has this lady been living under a rock for the last several years and not seen all the other people who got blasted for doing the same thing?

Right or wrong, offensive or not offensive, you'd think folks would know better by now than to dress up in black face....it never ends well. Common sense, folks.

One man s pc is another man s racism. It’s pretty clear by now wearing black face is stupid racist or not.

So you can't dress up as any Black celebrity, ever? That's now considered the same as Minstrel Blackface?

Heenan’s Facebook account was no longer active on Wednesday, but a photo of her from 2009 reportedly showed her in blackface dressed as a member of Destiny’s Child, Fox4KC reported.
Huh. Why didn't anyone care in 2009?

Logically PCism and cultural marxism all goes back to anti-white racism. Cultural Marxism is racism. So if you "ban" anti-white racism as a byproduct that would prevent Marxism, communism and globalism.
