If Rush Limbaugh is too racially insensitive to co-own an NFL franchise what are we to make of this? Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Whitney Islieb not only dresses up in blackface for Halloween, the dumb-as-a-bag-of-hammers blonde...you know what's coming, folks... posts the photos on her Facebook page. And, uh-oh, CONTROVERSY!!!! According to the story she was paying homage to some rapper with the sobriquet Lil Wayne, whom Google tells me is on his way to the jug for a year after pleading guilty to a weapons charge. (His rap sheet also lists numerous narcotics arrests.) So when you think about it, Whitney was only trying to pick the scariest costume her little pea brain could come up with.

Whitney on the right making a drunken fool out of herself.
A pre-Dallas Cheerleading photo of Whitney Islieb I found while Googling. Posted for no other reason than the reptilian part of my brain keeps mulling over the possibilities.
A few random FG thoughts.
Has anybody ever done a study on how much tax money is spent on incarcerated rappers?
This will all blow over because a crazy American muslim army guy killed 12 of his fellow soldiers today.
This will not blow over because it gives the media lots of opportunity for cheerleader cheesecake. (The Funeral Guy understands and endorses this position. Or any position with a cheerleader come to think of it.)
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are busy mau-mauing somebody else and it will all blow over.
Or Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have nothing productive going on as usual and will jump up and down and bang their spoons on their highchairs about this. In which case, Whitney will be gone by Monday, because dumb blonde cheerleaders are a dime a dozen.

The Funeral Guy has the view that white people in blackface is not inherently racist, but wise people avoid it.
Take the lesson of Al Jolson. Al was a talented and much celebrated entertainer with a legendary career. He's been dead almost 60 years now and when his name is mentioned all anybody thinks about is this.
I'll just address the comments after I fire up. There, ok, I'm ready.

Will do one when someone figures out how much tax money Nancy and Ronnie spent on astrologers.

Crazy? He didn't have to go to Iraq, did he now?

I hope she lasts as long as a Glen Beck hemorrhoid, and that's forever.

Are you sure both of these guys are from that tribe. I don't think so my man.

They are? You think I would have crossed paths with one by now.

So it isn't racist, certainly not fascist, what is it then? I think it is the mark of stupid, myself. Sort of like the redneck Scarlet Letter.

Historians claim that before Elvis or anyone Jolson introduced black culture and music to the white audience. I wouldn't go that far...
In retrospect, the guy was incredibly unfunny and like a lot of white acts knew a good thing when they saw/heard it.
