        This country is becoming a Puritan inspired cesspool of PC binds and gags with many who can’t mind their own damn business. Unless someone gets hurt, stay in your lane.

        Then don't you DARE try to dress up as a pastry chef...French, a football player...American, a Pirate...Spanish, Frankenstein...Dutch, or anything else besides an Indian for Halloween. What an idiotic notion that "dress-up" is racist. Stop being so emotional #PCisDEAD

        It's only a debate with media and snowflake urbanites. Everyone else is secure and fine with people wearing costumes for fun.

        Isn't the black panther a black man. Im white, I was in a Mr. T look alike contest when I was a kid, along with 50 other white kids. Every one of us was in blackface. Not a single one of is a racist. They were and still are just silly fantasy costumes. Get over yourself.

        If MY Halloween costume is a problem for YOU then that’s a you problem. If your feelings are tied into someone else’s actions, especially a strangers actions, then you have mental and emotional issues.

        Okay, let's just cancel Halloween. Here I thought the Bible thumpers would be the ones to do it and it turns out it's going to be the progressives. Who would have "thunk it?" It must really suck being a kid today.

        Can we not have Halloween with just witches and goblins and ghosts? We have to allow blackface, or call the whole thing off?

        If you make it an organized event it's not Halloween anymore. The best costumes I ever saw were home made. Its like telling a kid he has to color within the lines or telling an artist what he's allowed to paint.

        You can do all kinds of creative things. My kid wanted to be a spider one year. We figured it out. No need to either be allowed blackface, or take one's marbles and go home.

        Okay, you're talking about little kids, I'm talking about big kids. Little kids are dependent on mom & dad, no disputing that. Big kids push the envelope. I'm not advocating anything but I'm not discriminating either. In reality, I'm not an active player so my views don't matter.

        Me neither. But if you are going to be a big kid, you need to let go of the little kids attitudes. And if you are going to push an envelope, push your own, not someone else's.

        You are implying big kids always have little kids attitudes which is disingenuous. "Pushing the envelope" refers to creativity not confrontation. I don't endorse insulting people but I don't endorse censorship either. Life is full of conflict but we have to deal with it, move on.
