			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two students at Northwestern University hopped on the bandwagon of the apparent latest trend in Halloween costumes, Blackface. One student dressed as Bob Marley smearing a thick black substance on his face, most likely shoe polish, and wore a shirt that said “Jamaica.”</p>
<p>The other student was even more outlandish, covering their entire body with the substance and donning a tennis racket, most likely in an effort to be Serena Williams.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14684" src="http://static.hiphopwired.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/BlackfaceNew-300x225.jpg" alt="BlackfaceNew" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Students at the University had mixed reactions about the issue but student Carlton Bozer denounced the incidents of overt racism to the <em>Daily Northwestern</em> saying,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“When I saw photos of the blackface kid, I laughed myself out of my chair. I could only think, 'Wow. How can someone intelligent enough to be admitted to Northwestern University, 'Harvard of the Midwest,' lack the tact to recognize such a racially inflammatory costume choice?”</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>My sentiments exactly Carlton. The stupidity of some people is incredible; how could they be so book smart  yet so stupid in common sense?</p>
<p>For everyone that's oblivious to the racist ties Blackface has to the Black community, then read a book. Idiots.</p>
