Blackface on Halloween Isn’t About Freedom of Speech, It’s About White Supremacy

It’s Halloween, so put on your seat belts, brothers and sisters, and get ready for an onslaught of racist Halloween costumes coming from white college students who think your humanity is fair game for chuckles. The blackface paint will flow as white students think that smearing it on, along with a sign that says, “Black Lives Matter,” is the most hilarious thing they can do. And when they get caught, and suspended by their universities, they’ll all proclaim, “I had no idea it was racist!” Don’t be bamboozled, my friends.
