1. Probably not a good idea...

Few years from now...could be used as a racist attack on the couple in costume....folks have a short memory and will forget Ginny and Clarence saga...

Remember politicians being attacked for wearing black face 40 years ago in high school?

2. Unless you have a third person...

...dressed up as Satan. And have the Thomas' burning in hell. Then you'd be historically accurate.

7. This is ridiculous - We *can* mock these lunatics

8. But he is not in blackface, he is in green face as Frankenstein.

We shouldn't have to NOT mock someone because they are black. We should never mock someone BECAUSE they are black - that is the racism.

9. I can't see the cartoon

It is a Tweet thing and I can't go there.... so, I go on the words posted in the OP.....

10. Oh I have it all wrong. The joke is that Frankenstein and the bride of Frandenstein

want to dress up like Clarence and Ginny Thomas.

So yes I guess that would require someone wearing blackface unless they were actually black.

3. I know which pair frightens me. n/t

4. Exactly. True monsters need no costumes.

6. As a young child I reversed fear by thinking monsters would be my friends.

I'd sooner take my chances with the creature from the black lagoon than with Clarence and Ginni Thomas.
