@howaboutthat - You're comparing apples to oranges. Do some research. Nonetheless, the fact that the player painted her face black should be a non-story. It's all about context and what was described appeared harmless. Duke, understanding the historical significance of blackface and recognizing their place as an entity, did what is standard.

Remember the movie White Chicks.

This crap is gotten so old.

this is so stupid. I see Halloween masks of all kinds and some are characters of different past presidents. Those are WHITE! Ive seen some of obama. Those are BLACK! I LOVE the little rascals and if I had a group of people that wanted to dress in that theme,which by the way is a great idea!! I would most definetly have to have someone paint their face BLACK! Unless of course I ask one of my black friends to be Buckwheat! Oh wait, would that be racist???!! and again, may I say S-T-U-P-I-D!

I'm sorry if I psssss in someones wheaties here, but this is ridiculous..I guess if someone goes to a party dressed as George Washington Carver, they should not paint their face??? Buckwheat "was black", period. He was one of the most beloved characters of the gang and when all this PC BS stops, maybe "WE" can move forward as humanity..Just my opinion..
