It's 2019 and people are still wearing all kinds of offensive costumes. How?!
Transcript
00:00I am so tired of y'all. I can't even believe I got to make this video using black face.
00:06Hmm. Since when did Halloween become about offending everybody?
00:10It's your girl Danielle, or shall I say, Miss Frizzle.
00:13And if you don't know that reference, stop watching. Go Google real quick. I'll wait.
00:19Today we're gonna talk about Halloween costumes that you should not be wearing, okay?
00:24I'm tired of your black face, your culturally insensitive costumes, your sexy this and that.
00:30Just, where are the goblins and the ghouls? I thought we were supposed to be scaring people.
00:36Or at least making them feel good about nostalgic costumes.
00:40But in case you don't understand why these Halloween costumes are just off limits to you, your mama, your kids, and everybody else, allow me to over explain it to you.
00:54If you do black face, so help me, Lord Jesus.
00:58How many times do we have to have this black face conversation?
01:02Take out your pens and pencils. Just classes and session, kids.
01:07I've seen enough. I swear to God.
01:11I'm probably gonna fight everybody in your family.
01:14What's wrong with y'all?
01:15If we keep needing to have this discussion,
01:20y'all gonna make me take my shoe off on y'all.
01:22And if you know, you know.
01:24Somebody's gonna do it.
01:26Because somebody thinks it's okay.
01:28You know what? You can be your favorite black celebrity or superhero or whatever without black face.
01:36We do it all the time.
01:38I'm Miss Frizzle.
01:39She's white.
01:40White face, however, is acceptable.
01:43Don't do white supremacy.
01:46Don't do MAGA hats.
01:48Don't do Trump supporter.
01:50Make America great again if you want to.
01:54Don't be a poster child for racism.
01:56No, you can't be a Native American.
01:58Not a costume.
01:59A geisha?
02:00No.
02:01These are parts of people's culture.
02:03It's not worth the candy.
02:05Psst! Hey you!
02:06Sexual harassment costumes should have been long gone.
02:10Please do not dress up like free mammograms,
02:14a gynecologist,
02:16or any other sexual organ situation.
02:20Creep.
02:21Dressing up like a tragedy,
02:23like a 9-11, a massacre,
02:26or things that have actually happened to human beings in this world.
02:30It's enough.
02:31Is that a...
02:34But what?
02:35Oh me?
02:36I'm homeless.
02:37No.
02:38Homeless people are people.
02:40They are not a costume.
02:42The same goes for mentally ill.
02:43Don't put yourself in a straitjacket.
02:45Say that you escaped from a mental hospital.
02:47The joke's lost on me.
02:49Next.
02:50If y'all don't stop putting sexy in front of every little thing
02:53and labeling it a costume,
02:55how many Halloweens?
02:57A sexy nurse,
02:59a sexy Bin Laden,
03:00a sexy Obama...
03:02I do want to see a sexy Obama.
03:04You can do that one.
03:06And Halloween is also just not about being sexy.
03:09Is it?
03:12Is it?
03:13Although I do feel like a sexy Miss Frizzle.
03:15Get to the back of the bus kids.
03:17Happy Halloween to everybody out there,
03:19except those of you who don't know how to dress up without offending everybody.
03:24Until the next holiday where I have to teach you how to show up without being the absolute worst,
03:29I'm Danielle Young and this is The Overexplainer Reacts.
