Going to a fancy dress it not a problem.

Sending your picture to a Newpaper is trying to make a statement. And in that respect the man should be sacked. For what is is statement? He looks nothing like a black man more like an enemic arab

To be honest I dont see what the big deal is here.confused3

From what I understand it was some sort of fancy dress party for Purim(that time when Jews go buck wild)

I have seen Black men dressed up as Bill Clinton and Black Marylin Monroes on Halloween and at fancy dress parties.

Just playing Devils Advocate for a nano-second.....

Could it be that he just wanted to dress up as Mandela and there was nothing particular sinister about that.....or do we live in a climate where the minute any Whiteman dons Blackface it's immediately racist.

Maybe i'm missing something.....but I certainly have bigger fish to fry than this goof-ball.

The most offensive thing about him is what a piss-poor Mandela costume he put together,he could have done a lot better than that.confused3

Or maybe it's that there are certain African icons that Whites should never touch???

If he had dressed up as Ainsley Harriet(sans cooning) or Andi Peters(sans Gaylord-ery) would anyone give a toss?
