And I agree, Halloween is becoming an especially insensitive holiday. I almost compiled a list of unfortunate costumes (all of which had to do with race or class) but then I realized that on top of being offensive, most were "NSFW" or too risque to show pictures of!

If we are truly post-racial or moving to being a post-racial , then why do we pick at our scabs and make them consistently bleed. Essentially, a post-racial society is one in which reverence is paid to the past and the struggles, while living a life in which they don't inhibit individual growth. Making a joke out of it, is not necessarily the answer and does nothing to advance the cause. I just can’t take how every year around this time we have a new battle over racial insensitivity.
