Ahhh the perils of living in an out-of-control "politically-correct" world.
I may be old-fashioned, but I see absolutely no problem here. So she dressed for Halloween as a black rapper??? Does that somehow make her a rampant racist all of a sudden?
He's a controversial
public figure...That means he is a legitimate target for mimicry and comedy. It doesn't matter if he's black, white, brown, or some other skin color.
Who freakin' cares? Who did she hurt? Surely not the black "community" at large. She wasn't denigrating or even parodying a generic "black" person. The target of her costume was not a sterotypical "black man". She was costumed as a very specific, and very public, and easily mimicked rapper...who happens to be black.
I say get over it.
I know that my friends that happen to be black did not think it offensive, and I think they are pretty average middle-class Americans, just lilke me...some thought it pretty funny and all accepted it in the spirit it was intended...a girl having fun with a creative costume on Halloween.
BTW...where was the politically correct uproar when the Wayans brothers released the comedy "White Chicks" back in 2004?
I don't recall any press about offended caucasions getting riled up because two black men in white-face make-up impersonated a couple of white girls throughout the entire movie. Most folks thought it was exactly what it was...comedy and parody.
As a matter of fact, accoring to IMDB there may even be a "White Chicks 2" in development
So...In the pursuit of comedy and parody, in the spirit of fun...is it OK for black folks to wear white-face, but it's not OK for white folks to wear black-face?
I see no difference here
