NO BLACKFACE. EVER. EVERRRR.

Yes, even brown face makeup on a white person will be considered blackface by many.

Don’t do it. This means you, Karen.

Unless your Lt. Governor is a rapist. Then you can get away with it because there's no one to replace you with.

You need therapy.

He's having an affair.

The hilarity of this thread is that some people are giving real answers, like in the OP, and some people are being sarcastic about dcum. Some people will be confused.

Y’all missed the revelation this week about the governor of Alabama in blackface. I think she’s probably going to get away with it too.

Many people on DCUM (probably including me) are confused a lot. It's kind of an ongoing state, regardless of whether we read this thread.

-Be prepared to be asked to take your shoes off in someone else's home. No, I'm not saying everyone should have a no-shoes household; what I AM saying is that it's not a surprise, it's totally predictable--just carry a pair of socks in your purse or whatever, and be prepared.

-Respond promptly to all invitations. Even if your response is, "Because of Tim's fluctuating schedule, I probably can't let you know until X." But respond promptly, always.

If you don’t like what a PP said, blow it off. PP is clearly a troll.

Also, if OP is asking about something you’ve never experienced, blow it off. OP is clearly a troll.

OP. And that contradictory aspect, where you don’t know what to credit and what to scorn, is quintessential DCUM!
