The Situation Where A Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Appeared In Blackface

[brassmonkey]

funny stuff

When are people going to learn that you cannot upload photos to your Facebook page if you don't want them to get out? What we have here (allegedly) is a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader dressed as Lil' Wayne. In blackface.

The cheerleader in question. according to the Facebook screenshots, appears to be 21-year-old Whitney Isleib, who I assume is dressing up for Halloween as Lil Wayne. According to her profile page on DallasCowboysCheerleaders.com, her hobbies include "dancing, sleeping, eating, and watching movies" and her favorites books are "mysteries." An anonymous tipster made us aware of these photos on her Facebook page.




In this era of political correctness, people who live their lives in the "public eye," for lack of a better way of putting it, have to exercise a little more discretion and not upload photos to Facebook that would make Ted Danson blush.

Exactly. "In this era of political correctness" people need to drop the stick out their ass and lighten up.

Or we can all keep looking for new things to get offended about.

Coloring your face *brown* is not what "blackface" is...

[dallasnovelty]

Yea that is crazy looks more chocolate-y than black face. mmmmmmmmmmm

[A-n-D-r-E-S]

[pornguy]

I dont understand what that would cause to be a bad thing.. Now showing up at a game like that I could understand. but a halloween party?

[Lace]

Who gives a fuck? Give her an A+ for her originality!!

[american pervert]

just because you don't like it doesn't make it racist

do you really think white people would care if blacks put on white face at halloween and dressed like people who work and pay taxes?

[CaptainHowdy]

WTF is that?

u think lil wayne would want to ride with him 2 get some yak its gone now i think

[glamourmodels]

who cares.......

[brassmonkey]

im thinking she will be fired when the dust settles her so called friends started this

[ztik]

Whats wrong with her costume? I don't get it?

Your not supposed to acknowledge that he has dark skin? come the fuck on.. people are little babies now a days

[421Fill]

seriously? don't you have anything else more important to worry about, brassmonkey? just some dumb halloween costume that seemed to be going over fine with her peers. in my opinion, if it's not accepted with a negative reaction, then it's just that... a costume, and all in the spirit of the holiday party.

besides, wasn't 'blackface' done when black people weren't allowed to be in movies or plays because of racial segregation? this is hardly a case of a black actor not getting the job in lieu of the white chick with corny makeup.

That would be a crime. I can't believe your panties are in such a wad. What would your attitude be if lil wayne dressed as a white Dallas cheerleader for Halloween?

[escorpio]

If she were black the racists would have no problem with her dressing up like Lil' Wayne. But because she is white and must darken her complexion with the use of makeup to look like Lil' Wayne, the racists are throwing a shit fit that will likely end up with her losing her job. Fucking racists and their crybaby bullshit.

[The Hans]

I think the costume seems pretty cool. It would be different if she were doing it in a malicious manner.

im not worried about it i heard it on the radio thought i would chat about it

Blackface is theatrical makeup used by white people to play black people. In the United States, where the practice became popular during the 19th century, it became associated with certain archetypes of American racism such as the "happy-go-lucky darky on the plantation" or the "dandified coon ". Hence Blackface has become associated with racism, particularly in the USA, so that the term may be used in a broader sense to include similarly stereotyped performances even when they do not involve blackface makeup.

Blackface was an important performance tradition in the American theater for roughly 100 years beginning around 1830. It quickly became popular overseas, particularly so in Britain, where the tradition lasted even longer than in the US, occurring on primetime TV as late as 1978 and 1981. In both the United States and Britain, blackface was most commonly used in the minstrel performance tradition, but it predates that tradition, and it survived long past the heyday of the minstrel show. White blackface performers in the past used burnt cork and later greasepaint or shoe polish to blacken their skin and exaggerate their lips, often wearing woolly wigs, gloves, tailcoats, or ragged clothes to complete the transformation. Later, black artists also performed in blackface.

Stereotypes embodied in the stock characters of blackface minstrelsy played a significant role in cementing and proliferating racist images, attitudes and perceptions worldwide. In some quarters, the caricatures that were the legacy of blackface persist to the present day and are a cause of ongoing controversy.

By the mid-20th century, changing attitudes about race and racism effectively ended the prominence of blackface makeup used in performance in the U.S. and elsewhere. It remains in relatively limited use as a theatrical device, mostly outside the U.S., and is more commonly used today as social commentary or satire. Perhaps the most enduring effect of blackface is the precedent it established in the introduction of African American culture to an international audience, albeit through a distorted lens. Blackface's groundbreaking appropriation, exploitation, and assimilation of African-American culture?as well as the inter-ethnic artistic collaborations that stemmed from it?were but a prologue to the lucrative packaging, marketing, and dissemination of African-American cultural expression and its myriad derivative forms in today's world popular culture.

your making false statements i dont wear panties and lil wayne as a cheerleader he would maybe a ugly ass white girl

[CDSmith]

It's a pretty shitty world we live in when someone can't just go out and have fun on Halloween without someone going all politically correct on them and throwing the racist card around over nothing.

So you are suggesting that most blacks are racist?

[Iron Fist]

Well that's one way to end your career....

[xNetworx]

Blackface = good fun

[dyna mo]

it's all going to be ok, she made up for it by participating in an interracial anal gangbang after the party.

[RayBonga]

I'm glad I don't live in the US. I would go crazy with all the whiners and all the bullshit

Is the obama bumpersticker real or photoshopped in the picture?

Im surprised gianobli of the san antonio spurs hasn't heard shit yet about him hitting a bat at a game.

[Scott McD]

So does that make my friend racist then, since he did this for halloween ???







I really don't understand this thread...

[Quagmire]

im done with this thread have fun

[Ayla_SquareTurtle]

People love to persecute cheerleaders, but probably no one so much as their fellow cheerleaders and coaches. I have known some Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, and they put them through HELL. They can get in trouble for merely being seen at a party or restaurant if any NFL players from any team are there, even if they aren't together.

They have to be careful about what they do and what they are photographed doing, because even if it isn't against the established rules, they will make up a rule or lie to get rid of those they don't like.

I would not be surprised at all if this whole thing stems from another cheerleader/coach who wants to get this girl kicked off the squad.

I just don't get what's wrong here. That's all.

If some people do have a problem with it, then it is their problem...

[crockett]

I don't see what's so wrong with it.. it's fucking Halloween not a good damn political statement.

[escorpio]

The racists think it's funny when the Wayans brothers dress up like white girls, but are going to ruin this girl's life for dressing up like a black man. Fuck racists.

God this country has gone to shit...

[Dood]

[slapass]

Ruin her career? She is cheerleading which last time I checked is a free gig. ok i recehcked and she makes $50/game.

[GatorB]

I would like to know exactly how a white person is supposed to costume themselves as a black celebrity without blackface. I think people need to get the fuck over shit. When black people put on "whiteface" it's ok.

[JD]

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!! Whatever will we do!

No one ever gets uppity when a black guy pales out his skin and dresses like a nerdy white guy...

stfu...

[Supz]

So guys dressing up as blonde haired dumb chearleaders is ok, but not as black people?

I think its kind of funny. The people who think this is racist are racist.

[tonyparra]

i wish i could fuck her with that costume on

[Waddymelon]

I think she needs some waddymelon to go with her costume.

[hypedough]

Looks fine to me, it's not like she's at a clan rally. There are black people in some of those photos, they seem fine with it. Doesn't make it right but GFY isn't the place to be so fucking PC.

[nismonotmugen]

Its a costume and it was funny when robert downey jr did it

[D Ghost]

Not sure why it's such a big deal, apparently the other black people in the photo don't give a fuck.
