You live with your wife ...

Don't use words like "black" and "slavery" and you are good to go IMO. I like costumes that not everyone could pull off. Now, dressing in white sheets with a nice pointed hat...different story.

As long as you don't rub Kiwi on your face, I think your good to go.

I'd say you're good. Will anyone even realize who you are?

I think you'll be fine... (P.S. - Great costume idea!)

Bullshit, it is a part of our history! I don't see how it could be considered racist....I mean slavery wasn't the only reason the Confederacy succeeded from the Union. It was more so that they didn't want to be governed by people that didn't care about the South's interest. If the first and only thing that comes to mind about the Confederacy, is slavery, then there is something wrong.

Exactly how I feel as well. I personally love reading about history, particularly American Military history. But these days most peoples knowledge of historical events is limited to whatever crappy high school course they were told, and probably didn't want to hear anyway.
