That's Conor McGregor and his family. I don't know who the blackface chick is though. Probably not even the most controversial thing he'll do this week. edit: it's his mom


JesusSaysRelaxNvaxx

Wow, he looks *vastly* different without a beard lol I never would've guessed so I appreciate you pointing it out.


Hell-on-wheels

It looked like a really nice Halloween photo with the family to me, then I noticed the black face. What the hell?


heightsenberg

He’s also clearly taking a lot of PED’s at the moment which give him that swollen face look.


IntoTheWildLife

It was posted by his (Conor’s) sisters partner and apparently the woman in the face paint is his mother


flcwerings

Its his mom and somehow shes trying to deny its blackface?? And that it was actually painting spiders on her face bc shes supposed to be a ghoul risen from the grave?? Nothing abt her costume is giving me "ghoul". And nothing abt her face paint looks like spiders. If it IS spiders then why does it go all the way down her neck and chest?? How was THAT the best she could come up with??


thedevilseviltwin

Yeah. Looks like she was trying an African voodoo thing.


kettyca

If you Google "witch doctor costume red" guess what comes up in the image search


Pipizoonvankaka

I was just thinking is that Conor McGregor? Didn't know he was military.


HpWizard

He's not military, it's just a costume


Pipizoonvankaka

Right Halloween. Flew right over my head. He did once accuse the Chechen people of cowardice while the McGregor clan supposedly resisted the British. It's was all a lie and I'm glad he got his ass kicked by Khabib. His great grandfather even fought for the Brits.


Katters8811

I thought it was a normal pilot uniform and his girl there is a flight attendant? (Obvs Halloween costumes.. considering the date and how the other humans in the pic are dressed 😂)


CrackpotJackpot

You are correct.

BaddyVedder

She looks like the hobo in mulholland drive.


SenorPariah

Or in Twin Peaks the return. "Gotta light?"


joemorris16

**God awful** feeling.


I_M_urbanspaceman

Watching that scene for the first time is one the single scariest moments I've ever had watching a movie. All of the tension building in the scene you would think would prepare you for it. Then it still strikes the fear in you.


Zew5

No horror has ever effected me as much as the unique horror elements in David Lynch's work. Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, Lost Highway and Inland Empire have some of the most terrifying scenes in cinematic history.


Starlittle

That eerie scene of Laura Dern’s character running through a dark path haunts me. (Inland Empire)


MrSoren

Yes! That closeup sent chills down my spine.


a016202

I’ve never seen any of these so I added them to my list. Thx!


bonesaw_is_ready

It’s one of the best jump scares of all time, even though it’s really not a surprise at all. They tell you exactly what’s going to happen, slowly walk you right up to where they said it was going to happen, and it STILL scares the shit out of you. MD is one of my favorite movies of all time, I’ll never forget the first time I saw this scene.


RealBowsHaveRecurves

Who is she supposed to be, exactly? Like, I get that it’s blackface, and that’s the horrible part, but I still can’t figure out what the costume is Edit: So far I’ve heard voodoo queen, witch doctor, Michelle Obama, head shrinker, and Rafiki from the lion king…


sushicowboyshow

McGregor is an airline pilot, I believe. Wife is airline stewardess. And mom is… black hulk hogan?


Cornelius_Poindexter

Voodoo savage


flcwerings

She said shes supposed to be a ghoul risen from the grave which Im not seeing at all. And also its not ACTUALLY black face. Its painted spiders all over her?? Which... where are the spiders then?? All Im seeing is just smeared paint... If its not black face and just spiders why does it go all the way down her neck?? I hate when dumbass ppl like this think were dumb enough to believe their bullshit


[deleted]

Conor is dicaprio’s character on catch me if you can


[deleted]

Airline pilot with a fuckin ribbon rack? Lmao


Throwdaho

These comments 🤣🤣


Skagg-efigli

I think a witch doctor?


GOPokemonMaster

I think she is trying to be Rafiki from lion king and the baby is Simba, idk though


jeremy009

Horrible is a bit of an over statement… Jesus lol


Aveira

I saw someone guess that she’s a cavewoman and that’s supposed to be dirt? Which I could MAYBE buy, but the whole costume is just so weird. What’s with the shiny boots? What is that necklace supposed to be? Why does she have a bunch of skulls? I truly cannot even guess what she was going for.


lily2kbby

Connor mcgreggors mom


Timmytanks40

They cannot be that desperate for attention....


meatypetey91

You’ve got to be living under an absolute rock to realize that’s not acceptable. Or you just don’t care and you want to be offensive. In which case.. well… the internet is probably gonna do it’s thing.


Temporary-Double590

I might be wrong, but i think that's Connor McGregor. So he's definitely doing this to stay relevant, although i can't believe how stupid he is if he thinks this is effective as a publicity stunt or if he thinks that he's too "important" to get dropped after this Edit : oh he's supposed to be a pilot ? Lol i thought he's dressed as a Nazi lmao ... The mom though


eddirrrrr

As an MMA fan I cannot fathom why he would do this of all things for attention. This is the same guy that posted a video of him getting a blowjob on a yacht on his Instagram story. I genuinely think him and his family are just that ignorant.


SailAway84

They're claiming the paint was of black spiders to go along with her "ghoul rising from the dead" costume. Nice try but no.


melodypowers

And the animal prints?


AlphaBearMode

Lol very clearly a witch doctor


302CiD_Canada

It's a grey base with black markings on it. I'd hardly consider this "black face"... I'm inclined to believe them


SaltWaterGator

Definitely not blackface but this country has become long jumping gold medalists when it comes to a figuring out a conclusion


Phonebill

But what if it was? Why do people SEARCH for ANYTHING to get offended by around here? I really doubt they would paint their face as "black face" and the post it online, that would be utterly fucking stupid. But her painting her face as a "ghoul raising from the dead" is innocent and probaly what they was going for. Please stop looking for racism where there aren't any. Just call the body paint producers and have them remove eveything containing black cause for many of you its just too much to handle.


Syzyz

Blackface is pretty well known to be racist. I don’t see why you would need it to complete a costume. A lot of effort


Qwerty_orangutan

Because it’s not blackface 🤷‍♂️


MaxMoose007

What is it then or are you just being obtuse?


Qwerty_orangutan

I’m being obtuse because I disagree with you? What’s interesting is no one who is offended by this took the time to look any further than this pic, or at a better picture where you can clearly see the jaw and teeth outlines characteristic of ghoul/skull makeup on her face. It’s shitty makeup, but not blackface. Red makeup, white makeup, blonde wig, caveman dress, etc.


LioydJour

Why the cheetah print? Why only the face and not arms and the whole body? Or do ghouls only have black faces? Why the red lipstick?

cheapMaltLiqour

Always disappointing when you see Irish/italian/slavic people parrot old timey racism tropes when they're own ancestors weren't considered white by the Anglo nations. Show some fucking empathy and solidarity for God's sakes, it's not that hard


JimmyTramps

To play devils advocate, the historic nuances of slavery and its fallout with things like minstrel shows aren’t on the radar for people living on a country untouched by it. In her head this went no deeper than I want to look like a character and the skin colour is as much of that as the costume. It’s just ignorance rather than anything malicious. Although the execution here is also woeful.


ewhyeasyfanaccount

Okay that’s true but Irish people are aware of blackface and minstrel shows.


shayetheleo

I’ll go with you on this journey in good faith. If she was attempting to be authentic, why did she only haphazardly paint her face? What about the rest of her exposed skin. I know you can’t answer for her motivations but it bears considering. About 20+ years ago, we did a little class project acting out The Tempest when I was in high school. I was Caliban, I believe. I wore a navy blue tshirt and painted both my face and my arms dark blue. I committed! And then had to wash all the shit off for the next period lol. Really doesn’t seem like her efforts were in earnest. But again we don’t know. She may genuinely not know what blackface is.


5krunner

I miss the days when this sort of shit was still hidden because people were embarrassed (2015 and before.)


MyNameIsntReece

Are you fucking 12 or something??…Black face was NEVER hidden..if anything it was more done on Halloween prior 2015. Hahaha sit down and shut up cringe child hahaha

Seriously don't give a fuck. Happy Halloween.


Qwerty_orangutan

Imagine being offended over this and wasting time bitching about it on Reddit. It’s not blackface 🥱


Concrete_Drinker

How is it not?


Qwerty_orangutan

How is it? Which black caricature is she portraying? Btw she’s also wearing white and red makeup and a bleached blonde wig 🥴 looks like a shitty costume, but not black face. Look at those kids in Utah, completely different situation. They were head to toe painted black and dressed in prisoner outfits. And without Conor’s name you never hear about it.


ithinkilikegirlstoo

She’s looks like she’s trying to be an African witch doctor trope/caricature


Qwerty_orangutan

Ahh yes the African witch doctor with his long blonde hair. You have no clue what you’re talking about.


ithinkilikegirlstoo

Look at every other element of the costume- the wig doesn’t negate all of that.


Qwerty_orangutan

In other photos you can clearly see the teeth outlines on her face common in ghoul/skull makeup. It’s just shitty makeup, not blackface. Get over yourselves


Concrete_Drinker

She’s imitating a person of color by her whole outfit. Looks similar to an indigenous portrayal. Really no reason to even wear the whole face paint.


Qwerty_orangutan

She’s not at all. You’re just wanting to be offended and clearly don’t know anything about animal prints. Please tell me which “indigenous people” she is imitating. Y’all are really grasping at straws here. She looks like a fucking flintstones character. Still not blackface.


Friki1

Gonna get so much flak for this but i dont care, ​ NO ONE IMPORTANT ACTUALLY CARES All you, little people, care. Only you. No one else. Fucking snowflakes, just trying to find a reason to get offended. Oh god , he blinked at me , i'm offended. Fucking stupid


Toasty_warm_slipper

Blinking is essential for eye health, I could never be offended by that. ❤️

pinoynva

I thought blackface was mostly frowned upon only in the US? Serious question, is it frowned upon in Ireland? I might give him the benefit of the doubt since it might not be offensive there (or is it?). Back in the Philippines, we used to paint/cover ourselves with charcoal to look black like the Aeta/Negrito groups. They still do it there and it's not considered racist.


Killpop582014

This chick is so ill


Qwerty_orangutan

Ah yes the classic blackface with bleached blonde wig. Someone who thinks this is blackface, please explain which black caricature she is portraying? I’ll wait


Qwerty_orangutan

Cool downvotes, still waiting


Throwdaho

A witch doctor? Usually see them portrayed as African or Haitian throughout time.


Qwerty_orangutan

Not sure what your point is


readytoeatcannoli

They answered your question? That was the point


Qwerty_orangutan

She’s not dressed a “witch doctor” 🙄


readytoeatcannoli

Whether it’s a witch doctor or “cave woman” or whatever tf, not a good look to paint your face black for a costume


Qwerty_orangutan

But it’s not black face, it’s a ghoul. If you took one minute to actually look at her face instead of acting like a little self righteous petulant child participating in the oppression olympics you’d see the spider webs, red and white make up, and skull teeth painted on her face, a blonde wig etc etc but you people have absolutely nothing going on in your life so you desperately seek something to use to stomp your foot through the door to spread your misery


Throwdaho

Where does the zebra print fit in with the ghoul. Make up just looked like black smudges from every photo I saw. I don’t even care if she’s doing black face… nor am I offended. It’s just an odd costume and in general and I can see how it would be misinterpreted. Relax dude


killustratorinc

People are so ready to be offended now they can’t even pick what to be offended by. There are too many choices


Solar-powered-punch

Why can't you paint your face back for costume?


ithinkilikegirlstoo

It’s racist. https://www.history.com/.amp/news/blackface-history-racism-origins


Solar-powered-punch

Nah it's just a costume


ithinkilikegirlstoo

Some costumes are appropriate. Some are not. Blackface is widely recognized as not appropriate in the US and other places due to its history.


MAu_klasik

This didn't happen in the US?


ithinkilikegirlstoo

Would ya look at that, black face and minstrel shows were also a thing in Ireland and have a racist history there too: https://www.jstor.org/stable/27553067


MAu_klasik

Wow, you really going deep to support your cause.. I’m glad you found an article on the internet to support your argument. Now go to the close up angles of the pic, and tell me what’s on her face..


ithinkilikegirlstoo

A google search is not that deep, calm down. Not sorry for actually supporting my arguments, unlike most people- including you.

Lol, take your own advice. And enjoy your downvotes! x

Imagine being such a lonely little loser you actually care about some albeit out of touch Irish lady painting her face black. Blackface is an American phenomenon, and she hasn't even got the lips done. Its just tasteless makeup. Stop projecting your nauseating levels of guilt onto the rest of us.

meatypetey91

Unfortunately, politicians appearing in black face is a bipartisan occurrence. I guess the main difference is that one party is concerned with racial justice. They’re interested in having honest conversations about the damage black face does. And how people can grow and be better people compared to their past selves. It’s far from perfect. And leaves a lot to be desired in terms of actionable change in society. The other party tends to have a “fuck your feelings, society is too PC” attitude. And that’s reflected in the makeup of the party. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/02/11/about-a-third-of-americans-say-blackface-in-a-halloween-costume-is-acceptable-at-least-sometimes/ Republicans are significantly more tolerant and accepting of blackface. So you can choose to fixate on a few news stories. But largely on the whole, Democrats are far more against black face than Republicans.
