White kid does black face :D

I don't get it. Why are people offended?

I find the Hitler stache more offensive.Lonelynight

Oh Mrmusicman, you should know by now that raising anything related to race on OT will provoke the closet racists and psycho liberals.

Enjoy the sh!t storm

Racism is all about context, we havent gotten to a place in our society where its okay to do things like this.

Good for him for not Blacking Down and fighting for his opinion!OmegaAxl

I don't find it offensive since it was just a school project and he's only in second grade but I get why the school administration acted that way.

The sad thing is any time a black person portrays a white person it is cool and typically a joke. Look at all the movie remakes where the white star is replaced witha black star, if they did it the other way around people would scream racism. Let me say I have no problem with either of these things, up until it becomes a double standard.

The biggest problem in this country is NOT racism, it is that the racism card is overused and undermines the true accusations of racism that really need our attention.

If I dyed my hair a different color so I could impersonate someone, would that be racist?

I wish I could play youtube :{FMAB_GTO

There was nothing racist with what he wanted to do, he just wanted to portray Martin Luther King Jr. Though the way he done it has a negative stigma attached to it, there was no racist intention behind it, it's not like he did a big minstrel act singing and dancing about fried chicken and watermelons.

I actually think everyone should be proud of the kid. Not for the fact alone that he painted his face but judging from what he said and how he said it he seemed to respect the "role" he played.

The people who got offended seem racist to me.
