WTF???


No sane black person would get upset over a Lil Wayne costume at a freaking music themed karaoke party with NO BLACK FACE. There was nothing wrong with his costume!

The incessant need to portray black people as always angry about stuff we don't give two *beep* about just pissed me the *beep* off.

I've been waiting forever for this show to come back but that just ruined it for me. Seriously.

Thank you! They're taking this crap waaaayyy too far! Storylines like this one and "Frankie is racist" on Degrassi are beyond idiotic!

It's really just too much.

I was like what the heck is everyone so pissed over. Hes not in black face or being rude.

reply

Thank God. I was afraid people would be dumb enough to actually think this is racist. A fake grill and a hat with dreads on is not even close to being offensive. Why does this show try and make these huge dramatic stories that aren't actually what they portray. The split view of if Bay was raped or not. (I don't think she was) and if some stupid kid trying to be funny at a costume party is a closet racist (No)

Exactly. I was thinking they took a serious issue and trivialized it. No one would have taken offense to this.

Yeah I was expecting there to be a black face element or some other element that stereotyped an entire ethnicity... Like if he went as a generic "Rasta" stereotype or 'Minstrel'... but this was a major fail and flat-out didn't make any sense! Much like their rape/consent storyline.

It's clear why this series is ending or has already ended because the writers are severely bad at their job.

Any point they MAY have had, flew out the window with the poor handling of the issue itself. As someone above said, it actually trivializes the actual issue even more, which I think is far more insulting.

That was so stupid.

I just watched it and I thought the same thing... like wtf? So, a white guy, can't dress up as a black guy in costume, but... it's okay for a black girl to dress up as a white girl in costume? Is this what the world is coming to? I could see it if he had, as you said.. black face. This is just ridiculous! And, Mingo and Daphne will be hated in the next episode for it... lol the heck.

Goonies never say die!

Yea, this was a totally stupid angle. Like someone said, he wasn't in black makeup. Ugh, we are so PC now it's annoying.

reply

Ya I never got that either..so if it's racist for a white guy to dress up as a black guy then it is also sexist when a guy dresses as a women for halloween? Which happens all the time too...and what is wrong with daphnys costume?
I just dont get it..im not trying to sound snotty i honestly don't get it.

reply

Yeah Daphne's costume was Katy Perry. It definitely wasn't Nicki Minaj as I've seen some people try to claim... Because that wig with the heart was from Katy Perry's "California Gurls" music video.

I think one of the reasons the writer(s) created this storyline was to show us just how stupid being too PC can be.
