I wonder if his team mates Tolani Omotola, Michael Ihiekwe and Darren Stephenson were offended.

They probably thought it was hilarious...It is only the political correctness police who would be offended. Mind I used to take offence at the black and white minstrels. not because of them blacking their faces, but because they were utterly ****e..

I don't get why it's automatically offensive for someone to make their skin appear darker to impersonate someone. If a white American admired Obama and wanted to dress up as him for something what's he going to do just get his hair cut short and wear a nice suit and hope a load of psychics turn up? Obama's skin colour isn't his only defining feature or an important one but I don't see why you'd have to pretend he isn't black.

Of course it can be done offensively but you could write something racist in someone's Christmas card, doesn't mean they need to be outlawed too.
