| #3 dressing like a particular sort of black person Embrace theoretical rigor! The Negro who passes as whigger, Co-opting the clothes Of the culture he loathes, Slides his universe sideways. "Muh trigga!" Pretty spooky there, Pic-a-Nic! Sweat a gawd, I didn't touch it. |

| #2 I'm sure it's OK as long as they don't appear in blackface. Maybe confer with the VA. gov. Northrup for proper attire. |

| #1 I'm unclear: Is the racism here from dressing like a black person or dressing like a particular sort of black person? What if they dressed like Clarence Thomas who, I presume, wears a suit and tie to work instead of some Compton rapper? |
