you can just avoid the costume if you think you can't pull it off also here even with blackface it seems potentially unclear.

some of these "no blackface needed" memes have shown good examples of ones where the costume was clear and creative sans black face. others show that some of these are kinda lousy halloween costumes off the top. that little white kid who dressed as malcolm x (no blackface) didn't really pull it off. why? a malcolm x costume just looks like you got a nerdy ass suit on and glasses.
