In (Actual) Racist News

Ok, ok. So merely a few hours ago, I posted about Tyler Bozak's ''blackface'' Halloween costume and wasn't too offended about it because Canadian history doesn't include minstrel shows, and it was clearly a tribute (whether it's to Michael Jackson or Rockwell is a whole other story), etc.

And then comes the story out of a hick town in Ontario where a fucking idiot dressed up for a Royal Legion party (Canada's answer to ''Veterans' clubs'') as a KKK member, holding a man in blackface on a makeshift leash...

And some reports indicate the fucking thing won a prize.

See? That's offensive.

It's an insult to every black man who was ever killed by those bastards; it's an insult to every slave who has ever ''belonged'' to someone else, whose wife was raped by their ''Master'', whose children wouldn't be ''theirs'' but instead just another member of someone else's ''workforce''; it soils 200 years of social advancement; it soils the reputations of War veterans everywhere who fought and perhaps gave life and/or limbs for their countrymen, regardless of creed, colour, religion, language, race, or gender.

And what did the asshole - Blair Crowley - have to say for himself?

I'm not prejudiced. It was a Halloween costume, it was a joke," said Crowley, adding that his best friend is black. "I apologize if I offended anybody."

His best friend is black. Huh. Go figure. I wonder how long that friendship will last.

I would suggest he dress up as a member of the KKK again, go to his black friend's house in that disguise, with a rope around his fucking neck, and tie himself up to the friend's porch for a month, as winter approaches, with nothing but stale water and dry bread to eat. Hat off, so everyone can see his fucking face.
