Blackface A Big Hit for Halloween
November 3rd, 2009
If French Vogue and Tyra Banks can do it, why not a high school kid?
Dean Jeziorkowski, a senior at Commack High School in Long Island was dismissed from school for showing up to class in blackface wearing an Aunt Jemima costume. He even had the syrup.
From New York Daily News
Jeziorskowski told pals he has dressed as a woman for Halloween every year since the third grade. The teen donned a bandanna and wig as part of his Aunt Jemima getup. He darted in and out of classrooms toting a syrup bottle, asking, “You want some pancakes?”
School officials reportedly asked Jeziorkowski to wash off the makeup, then sent him home when he refused.
“It’s funny as hell,” said Manny Cruz, 16, who attends the same school. “He’s known for being an athlete, a funny dude, pretty chill. He’s not known for being a racist or anything.”
Thousands of miles away from “Aunt Jemima” a young lady decided to dress up as her favorite rapper, Lil Wayne. What so bad about dressing as Lil’ Wayne you ask? Nothing, unless you’re a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.
From CBS News
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Whitney Isleib has inadvertently stepped into a Halloween controversy by reportedly dressing up as soon-to-be incarcerated rapper Lil’ Wayne in black-face.
Photos of the blonde-haired cheerleader turned hip-hop impresario were posted to Facebook and eventually made their way to sports blog Deadspin.com.
Offensive or just plain fun? Dallas fans are split.

Looks like a animal
Jesus, you people love to whine and cry over nothing, don’t you? If she was black you’d have no problem dressing up as your criminal hero, Lil’ Wayne. But because she is white, and must darken her complexion to look like that disgusting thug, you people trow a “dat be racsit!” hissy fit. Typical. You people need to grow up.
First of all… No one here has commented anything about them being racist.
Secondly, the media is just trying to stir up an issue to get people talking, especially since their is a black president. Things like this should not even make the news. Its a waste of time… Lets change the subject and move on!
It is THERE IS A BLACK PRESIDENT.
@ my t y t , who are “you people” ????
“We have a blk president” .. is a very irrelevant fact >>that doesnt change anything… racist acts, discrimination, segregated poverty did not stop last year just cause Obama was elected. >> i think next year, ill be yellow and pinch my eyes back and be jackie chan… or maybe ill get a cold, have my sinuses congested and be tom cruise
