« Previous 1 2 3what’s the big deal? It didnt cost as much as going to a tanning salon, or paying to have her lips shot full of collagen. Deep down white folks love our color.
Hers is being black on the cheap. Leave her alone. If MJ could do white she should be able to do black too.
THAT HO SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT ON THE SPOT. BAD ENOUGH THEY BE TAKIN US BROTHAS AWAY FROM OUR SISTAS, OH HEL NALL. BULLET IN HA HEAD PLZ.
idk why it would be offensive at all i really dont see it
spray on tans are a mockery to melanated ppl, so whts the difference
If this young lady knew the history and the negativity of the “black Face” then she wouldnt have done that at least i hope she wouldnt have…and it is always racsit and offensive to african americans.
Fire her she’s a discrace to the Dallas Cowboy Organization She should have dressed up as Snow White instead. Not funny!
She looks East Indian to me.
this is stupid haha.. this is not 1940 its almost 2010..I think it was just harmful fun, s**t I wanna be him too I’d love the money… Next subject…
who cares find something else to write about
IDK? WTF? SIMPLY IN LIFE THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU DO AND DONT DO. USE BETTER JUDGMENT. NEXT TIME. BUT ITS KINDA OF FUNNY. IN THE WORDS OF PAUL MOONEY” EVERYBODY WANNA BE A NIGGA BUT DONT NOBODY WANNA BE A NIGGA. LOL
Lol!! I didn’t see anything wrong with her costume. Hell, she got creative
how many black chicks have went out as tinker bell, cinderella, or paris hilton. she could afford 2 take it all the way and she did. she rocked it. ya’ll make stuff into somethin bigger than what it is
idk whether to say racist or clever it doesnt seem offensive to me. Maybe im blind but it seemed like it was just a costume. A very well attempted one.
Everything is not Black and White blackplanet I think you writers are racist and I’m a leave it at that these dumb as articles I dressed up as Brad Pitt and white face write a article on that dumb asses
I LIKE IT!!!
People let it go…Lil Wayne watchin this s**t laughing just like the rest of us should be. Dayum folks get a life.
lol i think her coustume was good… i know a lot of people who was lil wayne for halloween…its not that serious
