11:12Now PlayingBlackface is always a bad decision. The same goes for Bill Cosby blackface. Cenk Uygur, Francis Maxwell, and Hannah Cranston, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"In a combination of two of the worst things about life in America right now, Brock Denton, a white frat boy (obviously) was kicked out of his Arkansas university for dressing as Bill Cosby—blackface and all—for his frat’s Halloween party on Friday. “It was a bold night,” he wrote in his Instagram caption showing off his costume.
By the next day, he was expelled by the school, and his frat’s chapter was suspended by the national organization. The university president posted a handwritten message to the student body on Twitter, writing, “This institution embraces all races, cultures, and nationalities.”...
Denton defended himself on Instagram—never a good idea—writing in a now-deleted post (saved for posterity by student newspaper The Echo), “Within a matter of a few hours social media has made me out to be a monster, a racist, a supremacist and those are just three of the many hateful names I have been called. I have been sent death threats, threats to burn my house down… I am the farthest thing from discrimination [sic], as a matter of fact I fight for equality everyday, I’ve been writing a book for the past two years on what it really means to be a good person.””*
