Blackface.

 IS NOT COOL. for any reason. people find it offensive. so you shouldn't do it.

If you haven't heard two NU students dressed up in blackface for Halloween, or should I say as black people, not sure of their intention, but it definitely came off as blackface.

I don't think they should have done it. I would like assume that those gentlemen didn't know about the history of blackface, and maybe that's why they felt it was alright. I would hope that it wasn't supposed to be a stereotype of black people. But this just demonstrates the  lack of awareness people have about race on the NU campus.

I myself am not that upset at the incident. I just hope people know that blackface not cool. And I expected people, especially the black community, to get upset about something like this. I think it was kinda stupid for them to post the pictures on the facebook. but hey.

there's supposed to be a discussion of the blackface tomorrow, educating people about it. I myself didn't know that much about it. If you want info now you can check wikipedia, as I did.

yes this was a serious post. I will do that from time to time.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!
