Its Sad that People Look at this and Don’t get mad about it. It may just be something off the T.V. But She’s Black, and he ain’t. I wonder If an African American Dressed Up As Glen Beck, or Cesar Chavez Or Some Other Well Know Hispanic Would That Be Fun Too? And Why at 16 Is He Still Tricker Treating? He Dam Near Grown, His Parents Never Taught him anything because if they did he would be out running around with lil kids.

Oh shucks! Who gives a ding dang?

It ain’t all dat! Find something else to talk/write about.

This ain’t all dat serious.

Maybe next year we should dress up as the Bonanza boys or Bush or even Nixon. Would that be racist?

No. It would be simply mimicking people some perceive as dumb dweebs.

How about dressing up like idiots with our butts hanging out where you see our underwear or butt cracks while wearing a belt around our thighs. Then top it off with gold teeth, a do-rag, and be sure not to tie our shoes.

That in itself is the most ridiculous costume I can think of and our ‘people’ wear that costume every single day.

What dweebs!

So stop screaming racism blah blah blah. If someone white mimicked Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, George Washington, Charles Drew in surgeon’s garb, etc., would that be considered racist? ABSOLUTELY NOYT!

But when some unknown white person mimics some of the insanity we perpetuate then we want to scream bloody murder.

At the end of the day, why is it so important to even give a freakin’ hoot? Your cries lends credibility to that junk. But shucks! Stop acting and looking like clowns and no one would poke fun at it!

This goes for everyone!

p.s. I wonder if I dressed up as a Hindu would they take offense?

God Bless

It’s racist to the highest level there are many african/americans he could have dressed like. So whom ever that has taking this behavior of the young man lightly needs to aware and informed at once we have come to far to be treated and made fun of .If one hasnt noticed there is a black family in the WHITE HOUSE .We no longer come in the back door we RUN the WORLD . So please get over it cause there is not going to be a change in the staus of the african/american race. But better and greater and richer …..

1) No, it’s still pretty damn offensive, Danny. And as a minority (I assume) the fact that you don’t think it is…is almost as disturbing.

2) To all the people who say that there is a double standard when blacks dress up as white, you’re 100% correct…the practice should be stopped by all.

3) Somebody has to ask this…why is a 16 year old still trick-or-treating??

So let me get this straight. Danny Cuevas said “I don’t think it is THAT racist. At one point in time, that might have been seen as racist but not now.” So I guess the 16 year old Danny Cuevas is an authority on what is racist to black people huh? Seems to me that the interviewer should have been asking a 16 year old black child whether or not he/she was offended instead of an hispanic. I knew a guy with the last name Cuevas when I was growing up and he wasn’t black and I doubt this one is either. I’ll bet if Jeziorkowski dressed up as a derogatory hispanic/latino stereotype Danny Cuevas wouldn’t be saying anything. It’s always comical and absurd to me when non-black people tell actual black people what should and should not be offensive to black people. As if they understand anything that black people have experienced or gone through and are STILL going through in this country. I’m glad he was kicked out of school and his parents should be ashamed for raising such a dumb, racist child.

This is not racist, this is just a kid who is having fun.Us African Americans can’t always point out stupid shit like this racist. So when Dave Chapelle or the Waynes brothers dress up as white people it is not a big deal. There was one person in our school who dressed up as Micheal Jackson with the baby blanket in hand and all, he even put the baby over the balcony. I had to admit it was funny as hell.

Just like a another year in our school we had a kid who dressed,as Osama Bin Laden. Halloween is all about getting creative and thinking out of the box. I really don’t think that this kid didn’t mean to offend anyone. Please some people just need to get over this nonsense and comment on something else important.Please people let’s not be so stuck up!

what the wyans brothers did was do what all black comedians do try to make us as black people laugh and try to do it before the white man does it. not saying the white man didn’t come up with the idea,about white chicks we will never know? but what that young man did was sick and outrages, i am a mother of mix children and i would not even let my children do shit like that and they have seen both worlds. and for you guys to think that, it’s funny have to go back to school or even go to a black college and read what our people had to go through. there was not even an syurp lady that is how or grandma, dressed in those days as slaves, to take care of white peoples kids so get it right it is not funny and will never be funny to ME.

It’s really not that dificult to understand why so many Blacks are confused when confronted with issues of racism. The battle lines are not as defined as they once were. I suppose one could call that progress, but nonetheless, it doesn’t address the issue of whether racism still exists in it’s radical forms today. Now if you are one of those Blacks who would answer, ‘you don’t know, maybe so or if your answer is no I would simply say you are among the many who are confused.

Today most of what young people do are a direct result of what many of them have seen from the adults they grew up around. Considering the ages of those sporting Black face, I would simply tell you the seed has already been planted it just a matter of how and when the racist endocrination would manifest itself. When you see Blacks take part in such activity I will wager somewhere in the family tree there have been self-hating Blacks who didn’t mind what message they sent to the young around them and thus the message was passed on. You want resolution to our (Black men and women in America) problems, make healing of the Black family a priority. Encourage each other to put down the hatchet, forgive one another if only for the sake of the children. If not we won’t have to wait to see what the future for our people will be like. We are witnessing it today. Just my thoughts.

How can y’all compare facepaint (which still leaves portions of the face uncovered) and a Michael Myers mask to the mockery (and that’s where the roots lie) of blackface? I just don’t get these youngsters. Is it going to take a group of Nazi Hammerskins performing a curb stomp on your skull for you to realize that sh!te ain’t that sweet? Yeah, I saw “White Chicks” it sucked! I saw “Tropic Thunder” it swallowed…..guess which one got an award nomination although they were both comedies?

I dont think what the boy did was all that serious….True i dont think its funny, but i’ve never given credit to white folks for being ‘in touch’ with anything either. What he did could offend some, but again, he is JUST a white person…why am I NOT surprised…

WTF? Seriously these white kids do it every Halloween and continue to think it is okay? They know better than that, it is racist and it always will be! For those of you who don’t think it’s racist. Educate yoursef, take a Black Psych class, or some other type of Sociology class that focuses on race. You will learn that you have been a vicitm of racisim far more than you thought you were. Matter of fact tak a look at the 1930′s black face skits..they’re on dvd. It was origionally white men dressing up as women and men. They were pretending to be Black…at least what they thought Black was. Black to them was, lazy, stupid, bafooons, etc….

IT MAY HAVE NOT BEEN MEANT TO BE RACIST BUT IT WAS. HE COULD HAVE DRESSED UP AS MRS. BUTTERWORTH,WHY AUNT JAMIMA? A FEW OF YOU SAID THAT IT WASN’T RACIST, WOULD YOU RECONIZE RACISM EVEN IF IT WAS AIMED DIRECTLY AT YOU? YOUR SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO SHOP AND EAT WHERE WHITE PEOPLE ARE YOU FORGET OR NEVER LEARNED ABOUT THE HISTORY AND WHERE THAT TYPE OF JOKING CAME FROM.SOME OF THE COMMENTS STATE THAT YOU JUST GOT OUT SCHOOL. YOU ARE THE ONES THAT’S UNEDUCATED AND THINKING THAT ALL IS FAIR RACIALLY. I’M SURE YOU NEVER GOT TAUGHT ANYTHING CONCERNING BLACK CIVIL RIGHT HISTORY,OR YOU ARE TO LAZY TO READ A BOOK AND RESEARCH IT. HISTORY ALWAYS IN SOME FORM REPEATS IT’S SELF.WHILE YOUR LAUGHING AT THE BLACK FACE JOKE YOU MAY FIND YOUR SELF BEING ANOTHER NEW BLACK FACE JOKE.

It must have been costume day at the school so as far as the costume it self i don’t think that was racist – it’s just a costume, but the black face was and always will be considered racist if you do it and you are not black. If the school asked him to take the costume off and he refused, then they were right in kicking him out for that day.

In this day and age that kid or at least his parents should freakin’ know better! And I’d expect a Latino to not see the insult in that. If his friend would have dressed like Juan Valdez or Speedy Gonzales I bet he wouldn’t be so passive about it! I dare him to come to my hometown and try that mess….
