Nobody has a sense of humor anymore.

But what does Mark Dice think about it?

But what does Mark Dice think about it?

It actually kinda looks like him

[Antiganon]

Why is this in the Politics subforum?

Also, terrible execution of this (admittedly amusing) costume idea.

1. If you are going to go as a professional athlete, at least go to a store and buy a knock off jersey, you can get them real cheap at wal mart.
2. What's with the fake nose? Looks like he took it from a witch costume and is wearing it because reasons?

4/10, try harder next year.

I don't find the costume offensive in the least, but it's not very well done. If you are going to put a fake nose on, don't go with a witch's nose, get an actual Gonzo nose.

Possibly to avoid it getting moved here later since it mentions the Kaeperchameleon.

OT: Weak costume. But people are vulnerable to weak shit. Not surprised a terribly done costume got a bite.

That's because black face and waving a way a black man's concerns for racial equality stopped being funny decades ago, I think it was around . . . oh wait it was never funny.

I don't know who Kapernick is or why it's offensive

And yet there's no black face AND nobody is making fun of the concern of racial inequality.

It's still one of the best scenes ever.

I heard nothing about this until you posted it, so I doubt people are as bothered by it as the OP claims.

Kaepernick is the footballer who knelt during the national anthem a few months ago to protest the way black people are treated by the police. This angered people and started the whole NFL National Anthem Hoopla Faux Outraging of 2017.

Why the ‘he will stand for food’ cardboard?

Yes, but his source said some one is upset. It must be reported! Fucking snowflakes...

Okay I admit, I mistook his beard for blackface, so I'll take that part back. But by mocking Kaepernick, he minimizes what Kaepernick knelt for.

No, he clarified what Kaepernick knelt for.

What team does Kaepernick play for now again?

Kaepernick minimized himself by joining the choir of "He doesn't have a job because racism". Remember, free speech means no one has to to give you a job.

Take away the absurd witches nose and there is nothing wrong here. A bit stupid, but plenty of people do stupid things in an effort to be funny. With rhe big nose people are going to liken this to black face or some other foolish form of racism.

1. Why would you buy a jersey of somebody you don't like . Possible revenues could get back to the player.

2. Because Kaep has a big fucking nose.

Safe to say Kapernick has more money then that cop will make in his life.

Huh? So mocking his big nose now equates to blackface ?? That's a reach.
