You don't need to be black.  Just go in blackface.  Nobody will be offended :)
Listen, I have no desire to get my offer for the summer revoked.

It's cool; blackface is now tres chic since Lara Stone appeared in French Vogue:



In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Incidentally, I can't help but feel most people would find a Joseph Stalin costume less offensive, despite the fact he killed millions of people. Am I right?

(I want to reenact the Communist Party T-Shirt).

Yes.  He was a sadistic killer, but by God, he was OUR sadistic killer! :smoke:

Within the EU, under Palpatine's command, there was:

1) Prophets of the Dark Side
2) the Inquisitorius
3)  the Emperor's Hands
4) Palpatine's  Dark Side Elite
I never knew that Palpatine was in command of the EU. That explains so much.

It's gone downhill since Thrawn refused to sign the Treaty of Brussels.

In law school, students interview in the fall of the 2nd year for firm jobs for the following summer. You get your offers in the fall, work in the summer, and if they like you, you will have a job after your third year.

Evan Williams, from Royal Pains.  Actually, in retrospect, it was a pretty flimsy potshot. :(

Well, I for one can't accept the implied equivalence Abe Lincoln = Addi Hitler. For Christ's sake, Old Abe was a goddamn' lawyer!  :P

If you ask that seriously, I guess the proper comparison would be a Stalin costume in Russia, and I bet there you would find both Stalin fanboys and people that remember all too well that NKVD killed their grandfathers, stole their cows and literally burned their bible.
