Another terrifying image from Sunday Night’s debut of the AMC series The Walking Dead, this one even more horrible than … wait, sorry. It’s just Dwyane Wade’s Halloween costume. LeBron James said on Sunday that he now wishes he would have done things differently in regards to the The Decision, and Wade might want to take this back as well. Far from making a statement about race, as Eddie Murphy did in the classic Saturday Night Live sketch “White Like Me,” Wade comes off more like The Joker, sans schizophrenic lipstick application.
From The Basketball Jones:
He became his “alter ego” – a Justin Timberlake look-alike. But instead of wearing a pair of Timberlake’s William Rast brand jeans, singing in a high pitch and having his arm around Jessica Biel (and possibly Olivia Munn), Wade went the extra mile.
He hired a professional makeup artist, Yessica Andrea Inc., to turn him white.
A weird, chalky white.
The result is a little scary. It looks like he’s wearing a Phantom of the Opera-style mask. The makeup covered his entire body, face and hands. His strawberry-blonde wig looks like it was scalped straight from Brian Scalabrine.
Better use of white face here.

Let me be the first…..
Why is it ok for a black man to put make up on to look like a white guy, but if a white guy put on makeup to look like a black guy , Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be camped out on someone’s front steps.
