I had probably best not wear my Count Blackula costume this Halloween.

I see that the president of Atlantic Records has been forced to step down after criticism of the Run DMC costume that he wore to a fancy dress party seven years ago. Can someone enlighten please about what is so offensive about what he wore when the whole idea of the party was to come dressed as your favourite musical icon? It's a strange one, as the articles on this seem to suggest it was already known about and that he decided to step down due to the fact that inaccurate allegations about it were still swirling around. The irony of it all is that I doubt any of us would've known about it if he hadn't resigned. The context should factor in too. This happened seven years ago. Ill advised, but the theme of the night was as you say 'favourite musical icon' and also he's done a lot for artists from all communities. Whether jumped it pushed, it's a shame he stepped down in my view and there should be a more sensible approach to evaluating peoples contributions, rather than just 'cancel culture'.

Looked through articles on this across a broad spectrum of publications, and, i havn't seen one mention of him having "blacked up".

He should have claimed he’d gone as Justin Trudeau.

There’s no way people don’t understand why blackface can be construed as offensive at this point - you can disagree with that conclusion certainly, but to still be asking ‘why is white face ok’ is painfully, painfully silly. Maybe let the Canadian PM in on your secret? Not once or twice but multiple times this cretin blacked up but not so much as a pin drop from the MSM & that what came out swiftly brushed under the carpet

So he has been asked to 'Walk This Way' to the exit. Maybe he should have gone as Steve Tyler. Do we have pitures? Life...'It's Like That' I'm afraid.
