Race row after mum thrown out of 80s night for 'blacking up' as Prince

A MUM is at the centre of a race row after she was thrown out of a 80s tribute night for "blacking up" as Prince.

She said: "I was only trying to have a laugh and would never have deliberately set out to cause any offence to anyone." McBride added: "I've worn the exact same outfit before at a friend's birthday party in a local pub an nobody said a word. I was totally taken aback when all of this happened."

Holbornlolz 'Marooning up' maybe.

ok so will the thought police castigate any blacks who dare sing white performers songs ,or asians for same ,this is just more nonsense that further divides ethnicitys ,rather than getting over their deep seated racial anti white bias

So does that mean any brown skined person can’t use cosmetics to make them lighter in colour, as it could be seen to be racist..! Really people get over this stupidity. We are to cosmopolitan for all this crap. There’s girls out there tanning themselves orange DizzyCab

Absolute joke!! Prince is black. Simple as that. Why is every thing racist!? Pathetic.

The Sun. Enough said.

White woman dresses up as black idol - racist. Black men dress up as white women in film - white chicks - nobody says a thing and everyone laughs and enjoys the film 🧐 makes sense 🤨🤨

But this movie is ok... and is broadcast to millions? FuckPCBollocks

Why is this racist?

What do think the sun

Who is complaining? The MSM? Not sure why you cannot dress up as one of the biggest and most influential rock stars ever. Its total PC bullshit. They make a whole film with two black actors dressed as white women, nothing said about that...

🙈🙈🙈

People need to get a grip... it works both ways look at the movie 'white chicks' where is the racist uproar

Holbornlolz Who cares? Only the mentally ill.

But this acceptable ?

Get over it people! She is Prince and he is black. Not everything is racist.

its time people got a fucking grip.

And the problem is . I’m guess you have never seen the film white chicks or does that not count you you’re wired little PC bubble

People need to stand up to this nonsense. This is not racist but the voices of a few will determine the rules for the many.

Remember White Chicks? Funny as!! Who gives a shit? I bet not a single Black person gives two shits about this. White Men can’t Jump? And? White Liberals, stop thinking it’s bad to be black, it’s not, black, white, pink or green, we are all Brothers/Sisters. Treat each equally xx

Who remembers the black and white minstrel show? on saturday nights BBC

Holbornlolz What’s wrong with that?

Snowflakes, must have nothing better to do woke up bored again, play ma music and chill. Love Elvis.

Better not get too much in the Sun (if any this year) I might get done for racial or cultural appropriation. Meanwhile...how about the weapons massing at Russian border?

So what

Oh for fucks sake.....its a friggin tribute you bell ends.

I’m surprised DavidLammy hasn’t jumped in on this? He’s not been offended by something for at least 2 hours!

Holbornlolz Oh for God's sake...

Is The Sun newspaper running out of decent news to print? This woman dressed up as her idol Prince so how does that make her racist? And a racist person would not have Prince as their idol would they. Perhaps, The Sun needs to find proper stories to print.

I don’t see the problem, Prince is black.. it’s a tribute night..

Is The Sun running out of decent news to print? This woman was dressing up as her idol Prince so how does that make her racist? Perhaps, The Sun should start printing real news.

Therefore by the same argument. Every black actor appearing in a normally white part at Stratford, should be sacked.

Tropic Thunder is on SkyUK maybe we should all get ta fk offended? jezus H fkn Crist the night !!!! 🤣

It’s a mad world out there!!!!

Ffs

We need a more progressive approach towards racism, I am getting tired of seeing ordinary people getting tarred with the same brush as actual racists. This is harmless fun, nothing more. 🙄🙄🙄

an innocent bit of dressing up for a party this racism bollox is getting ridiculous

Snoop Dogg is very racist too!

Was she supposed to play Prince as a white woman then? Total idiots and you papers are milking this and making things worse for people in this country running this stupid story.

Lol poor little snowflake so easily hurt and upset can't see that this woman was dressing as her idol much rather see racism for then love for the man. How very sad these people are

Holbornlolz Wonder how many BAME people complained.

But this is ok

Holbornlolz Alexa, sum up Twitter in one sentence: 'McBride claimed hundreds of people attended the event but 'only six complained' and said it was a 'bit of an overreaction'.

Holbornlolz Is the Eddie Murphy film ‘Coming to America’ now banned from future showings on television. 📺 🙄 doublestandards

People are pathetic it's fancy dress ffs

Utter rubbish, if any action is taken on this stupid matter our legal system need a massive review. Broken Brittain

Holbornlolz

But Prince wasnt white...thats the whole point...Good grief what is this world coming to...

Should have called the Police (not the band obviously ) - it's disgraceful. Long prison sentence required for this evil white supremacist. Thank goodness this was published and there was no news BLACKOUT.

Holbornlolz Ffs

Holbornlolz These snowflakes would die of heart attacks if they ever found themselves in Padstow, Cornwall on New Years Day when they celebrate ' Darkie Day'.

Race row 😂😂

Holbornlolz As if the costume and guitar wouldn’t have done it on its own. But we will have to stop sales of tinted foundation very soon.

BertieMt_Batten Lenny Henry’s in trouble then.

Holbornlolz The mum is from Pollock say no more

Thought police terrorizing their goofy populous

It’s “fancy dress” !!! Oh dear god please stop pandering to the complainers. This CANNOT be a real story!

Holbornlolz What the fuck

Holbornlolz I doubt there actually is a race row beyond this article.

Holbornlolz Can you explain why her pretending to be black is bad but pretending to be a man is OK?

Holbornlolz FFS this is getting really stupid now

Holbornlolz “...rooted in racist bigotry and is a legacy of slavery” I need someone to map out the links between blacking up and slavery, please. Working on a poster.

Am I missing the point - she’s dressing up as her idol ...... the only ones who say it’s racist are the racist ones....... will we be banned from dressing up at Halloween next? Are coal miners pictures to be banned.... ....pictures of snowmen .....the list is endless

People are talking about her dressing up as a black persons No ones talking about her appropriating being a man?!? She’s a WOMAN, dressed as a MAN I’m offended she would appropriate an entire gender

Holbornlolz Another example of royalty and race getting mixed up prodnose

Holbornlolz Yawwwwnnnnn

Prince was black you fuck witts!

TOMMORBRITISH1 Unyet films like ‘white chicks’ and ‘white men cant jump’ are perfectly acceptable for mainstream cinema .... interesting

Holbornlolz If this is news then our society is screwed

Why is this even news?

Cracker costume ! Some people need to get a life

Holbornlolz If a black guy goes as iron man is he racist

Holbornlolz How else would a white woman dress as Prince?

Holbornlolz So what, let her black up, no one cares

We live in a world of snowflakes.

Holbornlolz Never really liked MJ to be honest

Holbornlolz Lucky she never went as someone dressed form the film white chicks. It would cause carnage

Holbornlolz Context says it's a 'tribute'. When it's racist mockery I'd be concerned. But she is obviously a fan of Prince.

Holbornlolz Is it a bad thing to be black then? She was quite clearly dressed as Prince, last time I checked he was both very much black and very much dead.

Blacking up as a grotesque caricature of a black person like the 'black and white minstrels' did is highly racist. However, putting on makeup to look like a rock star seems no different to me than applying a handlebar moustache to look like Freddy Mercury

Holbornlolz 😱😱

Holbornlolz EyerollYawn.gif

Holbornlolz She should get a prize, she looks amazing. The purple suit and all.

So these people complaining about this... are they suggesting that white people can only dress up as white people.... sounds a bit racist to me...

Holbornlolz oh ffs how much more of this crap do we have to put up with where's your sense of humour gone mind your own business this is exactly the sort of crap that forced diversity produces to placate minority's and oddballs get a life

Holbornlolz the world has gone mad. fucking mad.

Holbornlolz The film ‘White Chicks’ was absolutely fine though

Can I make a complaint about the people that made a complaint ?

Holbornlolz Ridiculous!

Holbornlolz Lenny Henry started his career as a Tommy Cooper impersonation. So that's not double standards then?

“Jackie Age 56 from the Wirral who has nothing better to do now her kids have grown up and abandoned her... is f**king livid!!”

Country's gone mad, don't offend colour or culture,but it's alright to have a go at the other Fat Thin Bald Ginger Glasses wearer Tall Short Fell free to add to my list

Holbornlolz The Sun, loves to divide and rule. Don't buy it.

outatownstrange Definate police visit

Holbornlolz The people complaining must lead very sad lives.

Who is moaning about this? Seriously... life... get

Bring back the Black and White Minstrel Show!

Holbornlolz MSM, keeping the shit rolling.

Holbornlolz HONK!

Holbornlolz She looks like most white girls out on a Saturday night after being freshly spray tanned that morning

Holbornlolz Is anyone that matters complaining or is the usual perpetually offended NPC Twitter mob?

Who is actually complaining about this ? It's not a parody, it's someone dressing as their fave star. What is going on ?

Holbornlolz What a total non story.

THE TWITTER MOB ARE OUTRAGED!!!

Holbornlolz Get a grip

Holbornlolz She should go to prison along with Danny Baker. 5years minimum

Country’s a joke now. Can’t even put a costume on! I’d look funny as a white B.A!!!

Mum 'blacked up' to go to 80s party dressed as PrinceShe was asked to leave or take off her make-up after party-goers complained. Danny Bakers date? Brilliant 👏 😂 People need to seriously grow up. She's obviously a fan of Prince, who is a black man, she's made her skin slightly darker to look more like her idol, and it's seen as racist. In that case, White Chicks is no longer one of my favourite films, how dare two black guys go pale.
