Well, here's all sorts of interesting stuff that is readily available on line and in stores such as Party City, Spirit, Diddams and more:

Big black afro wigs, some come with comb attached
Inflatable boom box
Rapper Circle Beard (shown on black male model)
Li'l Gangsta Dreadlock Hat
Gold tooth Grillz, chains, giant diamond studs, etc.
Warrior Native American with Tomahawk and face paint
Hustlah Fedora Hat with giant feather
Super Mac Daddy Pimp costume (on Black male model).

I also read in an article about how to not dress in an offensive costume that one should never wear a large afro wig (sorry Party City) because most African Americans no longer wear afros. But, it is perfectly fine to wear long dreadlocks if your costume is Bob Marley, because that was his signature look! Ok, mixed message there.

Just because these costumes are for sale doesn't mean they aren't offensive.
