Is it racist to dress as a shadow for Halloween?

[purplepoppy]

It's an old image. Mother blacks up the kids as shadows and sends them out trick or treating. But would this be acceptable now or would people be offended?

[ArtieWhitefox]

No. The demonic catholic church lies made people think that people are not people. That made people willing to kill god's image. They obey the human harming doctrines the commandments of men. They are triggered by zoophilia and words like it to make people to kill. Jesus did not do that. The catholic church is teaching the doctrines of devils not teaching what Jesus taught. Catholic church needs to acknowledge this repenting to everyone. The catholic church is interested in money and only money. That makes people to not care about people. People become non-human in the minds of people when they associate or protect people who the church condemns. fooling them. They made people to be wild eyed giving evil. They that do that will get what they want to give on the last day.

Not racist, but extremely dangerous to send kids out into the night in solid black so that they are not visible to car drivers.

[Jamie05rhs]

Considering the times we live in, I think it probably is racist. You have to think ahead to how other people will perceive things. Some can be triggered by something that you wouldn't think was that big of a deal.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Jamie05rhs I get that, but I don't want to pander to snowflakes.

[Sour-rose]

No, just scares the shi out of me when I'm just walking the streets and I hear "Excuse me, ma'am?" And I look and see nothing but a little foot step on the side walk and it's foot is darker than the sidewalk. Then I'd scream for a good minute

[Sirenboobzilla]

I'd vote for not racist. If they're out following someone and play the part, that's just damn perfect

[Anonymous]

I’m going to say no it’s not but you know someone out there is going to say it is whether they believe it or they’re just trying to see how much they can get away w as far as making trouble. If that was the case than cowboys should say cultural appropriation, nurses should speak up, so should police officers, military, etc. We won't have Halloween anymore. Can’t cook Chinese food cause I’m not Chinese since it’s cultural appropriation lol

[BlueScorpio]

Lol I don't know think so, they are meant to be shadows. I just hope she takes them out during daylight hours.. real easy to lose a kid dressed in all black at night.

[AviatorTom]

It's only racist if the shadow-wearer stands behind a black person.

[jshm2]

Only if they are white as snow...

But seriously, that costume looks good. But I can see many of them getting run over by cars and bikes crossing the street.

[Anonymous]

There is no shortage of people in the world who go out of their way to be offended on behalf of other people who exist only in their imaginations so there are no doubt people who would be outraged.

[Dargil]

Another idiotic racist statement to try to keep the idea of racism alive why don't you just shut up

[SunnyHeythere]

This guy has mental problems and is prejudiced

[DaveJord]

@SunnyHeythere Your probably right, but I am sick of the constant bullshit over racism myself... I am burnt on it. Instead of crying about it, how about a thank you and shut up.

[Dargil]

@SunnyHeythere Sunny, You ought to know what mental problems are. You like it.

[SunnyHeythere]

No you are just messed up and promoting female predators

[Dargil]

@SunnyHeythere Want a date?

[matchrestore]

I think there's an obvious difference between this and blackface. I don't think there was likely any racism behind these costumes. That being said I don't think I'd put my kid in these costumes.

[bean2k21]

I vote for 'not racist,' as long as the kids are behaving well at not breaking into people's houses to steal fried chicken.

[Zolly99999]

I don't think so... they are completely black ( and kinda scary) now if they when out with "black face" then that would be racist in my opinion.

[Iron_Man]

Just go as Count Dracula it’s not necessary to push the envelope

[Xtendable]

No shadows required 😂

[Iron_Man]

Lol 😂

[pepper1993]

its not offensive but dont be surprised when they get ran over

[Levin]

Until there is a black guy on every TV show in the UK, we will always be racist.

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 Aren’t all shadows supposed to be black or dark? 😑

[MrTaboo]

Why wouldn't it? A shadow is the lack of direct light.

[JosyJosy]

To butthurt folk, it is. To the others, you're good to go, good idea.

[krin_m]

It is prejudiced against people without shadows! :-)

E. g. Ghosts.

[exitseven]

What evil lurks in the hearts of men?

The Shadow knows.

[ODC2112]

It is discriminatory against Irish people if you dress for Halloween and you are British.

[purplepoppy]

Last year I posted that as a question asking if dressing up is cultural appropriation mocking celtic culture. GAG banned the question for trolling.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Who cares, they’re all p*ssies and Willa get offended no matter what you do

[J3LueMooN]

Now there's this nonsense. Halloween passed from paganism to Christianity. Capitalism makes good use of this. Halloween needs to get out of your life.

[_Just_A_girl_]

It's weird for children to dress up on a day dedicated to child sacrifice

[rienna888]

Not at all, people are too sensitive nowadays

[Smegskull]

What? Black people know they aren't ink black right?

[BJP21]

How is it referenced as being racist? Is it a Cancel Culture thing?

[Jaggermoves12655]

I'm wearing a black sweater.. Am I racist for that?

What the fuck?

[Iamcoming]

İf the meaning of blacks are terrible yes this is a racist thing.

[maximumpower]

Bottom line - if it can be taken as a slight, then someone will be slighted.
Just don't go there.

[goaded]

No. Pretty cool.

[NathanDavis]

*orders one of those*

[dustybiker]

Same!!

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker I wonder if the cats would want to wear them... lol

[dustybiker]

They would be like those thunder shirts they advertise on tv.

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker oh... I made those for my cats, after they got spayed, lol

[dustybiker]

That was thoughtful. 😎

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker first day, they would walk funny... and even go backwards, lmao

[dustybiker]

I use the cat calming pheromone plug-ins for stressful events. Knocks them flat out. “What hammering? Don’t… care…” 💤

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker we get these calming treats for the holidays, Christmas and New Years go crazy with fireworks, so just a couple of those and they do retreat to my chambers for the night... lol

[dustybiker]

@NathanDavis Love it. Whatever works.

[Luopio27]

Im black & hot.
I aprove your idea.

[PetiteBabe64]

Black people aren't Actually black so no.

[musicbrain5]

I think that’s really cool, actually.

[Guy13]

O M bloody 🩸 G

[dustybiker]

Love these. lol

[AsaKyo]

No, of course not

[Anonymous]

Nope you can go naked too...
No one cares. lol

[jongreat46]

this is clearly a troll question.

[AngryCarl]

Malicious troll or funny troll?

[purplepoppy]

More an elf

[HippieVeganJewslim]

How can that be racist, as all races have shadows?

[Anonymous]

Didn’t you know? Everything is racist.

[Cottonpinku]

Nope, not really.

[Msputiton]
