The afro wigs at sporting events are in the colours of the playing teams, not worn by someone with a blacked up face singing nigger songs. The teams playing are always a good mix of black and white players.

Are you really trying to draw comparison with that and a group of white people in a highly non black area (known for it's racial intolerance) wearing them with blacked faces?
