Rio's Decadent Days in Full Swing

Blackface-wearing Party Goers Racist?
Let me tell you a story about a party where one or more of the attendees were dressed in blackface as part of their costume. The students were having a great time. Drinks were flowing, music playing, stories were being shared. Each costume brought more and more laughter. Some were dressed as ball players, one as Madonna, others as astronauts and even a few religious figures could be seen. Then it happened. In walks a kid wearing blackface. The party guests, made up of different races, quickly begin to whisper and stare at the new guest as he walks over to get a drink. Not that it's important, but the rest of the costume is a dark 3-piece suit, sunglasses and a pendant around his neck. He's carrying a briefcase.
