Do it. The only problem I had with doing it, was going into a gas station all dressed up. I got a “what the fuck”, and a “holy fuck” from two fellow (legitimate) african americans. ---

Chris Rock dresses up as a white person every year, not someone famous, just as a white person. and he says he sometimes likes to leave it on til like november 3rd just so he can enjoy all the benifits of being white lol. im sure its on youtube somewhere, it was on ellen degeneres (no i was not watching the show i heard it on the radio) i think its funny when black people dress up as white people, but not when white people dress up as black people. its funny when black people all use like “proper grammar” and speak with a white “accent”. but when white people try to be “black” its fuckin dumb. i guess its not the costume thats the problem, its how people act with the costume on and just karter is a fggt ---

Yes because black people wont get “offensive”, they say shit like “Oh, why good day sir”, and a white person dressed up as a black person will be like “YO!!! WAZ HADDENIN!!! MY N\*\*\*\*!!” And be obnoxious and carry fake guns and do stupid shit that most black people dont even do. White people get a lot more carried away with the sterotypes. Hey, lets go rob a store because we’re black. ---

False, well maybe not totally, but with the examples I gave before, if I were to dress as Obama for example why would I do that? I’d be in a suit and tie talking about change… Or if I was michael vick 😉 bring a leash and ask where my dogs at… like I said, not looking to play on stereotypes, trying for as exact as possible with a costume. Now if I were to dress a lil’ jon or something then yes I would yell “Yeeeaaaah” and “Whaaaat?!” but it fits the costume… ---

Like i said its not the costume, its the way that someone acts with the costume on. if there was a purpose to the costume, like being obama i think would be funny; but not just being black a str8 up black person for no reason ---

the black people at my party thought it was rediculous… …rediculously awesome. Not to mention all the broads that secretly want black guys, but are afraid of what other’s will think…will be all over you, cause you’re not a _real_ black guy.
