In fact the Klan would dress themselves in Blackface, just before they burned down places like Rosewood in Florida. My own grandmother remembers this event accurately...
So when a dingbat stripper cheerleaders decides to think it is funny to go as Lil Wayne in dark brown make up to make herself black, I am sorry, but I take offense.
Are you seriously comparing a 15th century play as written to what dingbat stripper does in the 21st century?
Alas, reality dictates that this dumbshit does not matter in the end and nothing will change for ignorant asshats who convince others that nothing is wrong with this dysfunction.

Personally, I think calling someone you don't know a "dumbshit" "asshat" with "low self-esteem" that "doesn't matter", is far worse than dressing yourself up like a famous rapper on Halloween. She is a stripper now too...apparently because she is a cheerleader.
Are you seriously comparing a 20 something year old girl's costume to the Klan putting on blackface in 1923 before burning a cemetery? That makes just shitloads of sense. Figured I'd ask since you so casually dismissed the other poster's thoughts/comparison. Bringing up Birth of a Nation isn't relevant either.
There isn't a shred of evidence to suggest any malicious intent with her costume.
