It’s 2026, and apparently some folks STILL haven’t gotten the memo! Two people reportedly showed up at two different restaurants wearing BLACKFACE for Halloween. Seriously, when will they learn?!

Blackface has a long and deeply offensive history rooted in mocking, degrading, and dehumanizing Black people. Yet somehow, year after year, we continue to see people defending it as harmless Halloween fun.

At what point does ignorance stop being an excuse? With all the information available about the racist history of blackface, why are we STILL having this conversation?
