When I Write

I'm grown and I wear blackface in public, really?

So I’m sitting here passing the time, and I come across some jive pictures. To be honest, I’m not sure to laugh or be offended. I think I’ll laugh @ the two ‘authentic’ black chicks posing with Whitney Isleib as she made a Halloween appearance in black face… How can I be mad @ lil Whitney because that’s what people do when they are just not knowing of themselves, nor their surroundings. This brings us back to the two authentic black females standing next to her as if they are enjoying themselves. I mean come on, I’m not saying you have to turn into a black panther or Angela Davis, but seeing a white person put brown paint on their skin w/ a gold grill should @ least make you pause for a second, right?

“Whitney Isleib, originally from Friendswood, dressed as rapper Lil Wayne for a friend’s Halloween party — complete with black face and body paint. Photos that popped up on Facebook were leaked to a sports blog, according to KTVK-TV in Dallas. No one from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders or the team would officially comment, but a team spokesman told us the team is aware of the situation and addressing it internally.”

Maybe I’m making too much of this, and I’ve been accused of that in the past about situations like this, but I think it’s only logical to at least think to yourself this isn’t a good idea to have somebody take my picture while I look like a douchebag… hey, but that’s juuuuust me!

Some of our best friends are black.... O, wait! LoL
