Racist Halloween Celebrations Kick Off With Blackface Nicki Minaj Costume
October 31, 2015 is still four days away, but Americans have already started donning blackface to celebrate the occasion. This morning, an apparent student from Florida posted photos of herself dressed up as “Nicki Minaj” on Twitter.
