DOOFUS of the DAY: Of All the Purim Costumes in the World, Why Did Dov Hikind Go Blackface?
Devil Girl and Doofus of the DayDov Hikind apolgizes to everyone in the whole wide world for being a horrible Douche:
Some people have marveled at what they’ve characterized as my insensitivity in wearing the costume I wore on Purim. My initial reaction in learning of this was one of shock because my intention was never to hurt or make fun of anyone. Those who know me—in politics and in my personal life—already know this. But others who don’t know me have expressed hurt and outrage, so I am writing to address that once and for all. Unintentional as they were, I recognize now that the connotations of my Purim costume were deeply offensive to many.
The question that is on the tip of everyone’s tongue is why did he even do this in the first place? There are like a bazillion different costume choices that could have been made, Mr. Hikind (who is a freaking politician!) had to go with the one that offends the maximum number of people.
WHATTA FAIL.
re: #8 leftynyc
Yes, it seems that we should call conservatives what they are - be they Democrat or Republican - conservatives tend to be bigots.
We have a 2 party system so we get all kinds in the parties based on the overall party registration of a district.
That's why my problem is not so much with Republicans but with "conservatives".
