I Don’t Have A Dog In This Fight But…

…I sometimes enjoy watching train wrecks. Start of the story:

Kelly dared to ask if there were any circumstances in which it would be okay for a White Devil to wear blackface — say, dressing up like Mr. T, as a friend of mine did one year, decades ago* — if there’s no intent to demean the race.

Lets discuss a topic that people handle with grace and intelligence. For example, is blackface OK when…

Have a great day y’all. Everyone laugh and be merry. May we all find Halloween costumes that miraculously piss off not a single person and may we all have at least the sense to keep our head down if we make our living on TV.
