re: #67 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

It was seen as tasteless but not as offensive as now.

And this again was an age without Facebook and Instagram and Twitter which makes any appearance, even at a party, into a matter of public record worldwide within seconds.

I was asking the African-Americans in the community for their opinion on the matter. I understand completely about societal changes in the last 35 years. However, I did want to hear about people whose race was caricatured by the Governor and AG’s outfits. I feel you’re being far too cavalier in how you’re completely dismissing it IMO because frankly you weren’t the subject of the mockery. I think the Herring bit is a little more nuanced. More juvenile stupidity than outright racist from what I am observing but done in poor judgment which my AG admits as such.
