There has never been any slavery of black folks in my family
Not a single person in my family has ever oppressed a black person. I'm purebred Scandinavian. My mum is from the North and there are some horrible bits of Sami we never talk about, but she's cool.
And my dad is from Danish Royalty. Some Danish prince killed his wife and her lover so he got stationed at some fort in Lillehammer
The assholes that then moved to Minnesota don't count. They all voted Trump. We ain't like that.

So all my family is pretty much just viking blood and have never done anything bad to a black dude. I should be able to wear blackface.

One Halloween my (Lebanese) friend didn't know what to wear to a Halloween party so he duct taped an N on the front of a black morph suit and declared himself NiggerMan. You should try that op I loved it

Nobody beat him up but I'm Australian so it was pretty in vogue

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I should be able to wear a Halloween mask on Black Friday.

You can't legally beat up a nincompoop, but morally you should.

Not really, but it's better than ignoring an idiot.

What if you wanted to go as Matt Damon, but you wanted to spice up the costume. So not just Matt Damon, but Matt Damon going as that "blackest color ever" they invented, Vantablack. Could you go as Vantablack Matt Damon? Would that be blackface?

In high school ASB a bunch of people were on a committee for a themed outfit week and two of the days they came up with were hoodrat day and white trash day. Our teacher gently explained that some people at school are very poor and might see themselves reflected in those categories. When articles were being written about the team of 20-30yo engineers who came up with the Facebook feature that showed old people a highlight reel of all their dead friends it felt related. There are countless examples of closed groups not realizing something that would be obvious to people on the outside. Are you related to that minister who made a Golliwog looking cake for some event a decade ago?

It would still be in bad taste and I would not feel sorry for you if you get taken to the rude zone as a result. I would recommend something more acceptable like a slutty version of any occupation.
