A teacher wore blackface to school and rapped on Halloween. He's now been suspended

“Hey, I’m on drugs. Time to go to go to work and dress up in black face.”

-me, never

I think it takes a little "I'm a God" powder to think that's a good idea.

The one unforgivable sin in this country these days is to do ANYTHING that might offend a left winger.

All rational adults recognize the offensiveness and racist history of wearing blackface. It's got nothing to do with any political wing; it's got everything to do with intelligence.

You can't pretend to be a rapper unless you use face paint, apparently.

Perhaps the teacher needs a lesson from this guy.

Wow, do you think all people of color are liberals?

It never ceases to amaze me how times have changed. There was a time in this country when being offended was seen as a personal matter and it was the responsibility of the offended individual to figure out how to deal with their hurt feelings. Now there is no longer even room for context or interpretation. If one person is offended the offensive act automatically becomes an indefensible act and warrants any and all punitive action by the offended in reparations for the offense.

Too bad he's not Canadian, eh? A teacher did that here and went on to become Prime Minister.
A liberal, too. Go figger...

White people: But what about if a black did this like the Wayans brother did this 10 years ago to parody us?
Also White People:

I figure that white people have a ways to go before we get to the spot were we have been equally dismissed as we dismiss others.

Yeah, I didn't think of that. I never played much with the "Look at me! I'm immune to social retribution for bad decisions!" drugs.

Well, there's alcohol too, come to think of it.

A little bump and one is sure every idea that falls out of their addled brain is brilliant.

Not even close. In fact, my guess is that most people of color aren't the least bit offended by someone doing what this guy did.

 

[Chillfolks]

This teacher is done for. He either has to move to Canada and run for Prime Minister or move to Virginia and run as a Democrat in either the AG race or for Govenor. Teachers are held to a much higher standard than elected officials.

How stereotypical.

It's not a dismissal.

It's a contextualization of the argument. People love to bring up the White Chicks movie as an example of anti-white racism. The problem with that is that parodies are based on something real. In this case, the literally hundreds of movies where we are expected to believe that a white person with a bit of blush and long eyebrows is Asian, or Angelina Jolie is really Indian cause she got curls or some ****. Everyone was expected to play along and not notice what is plainly obvious. In the end of White Chicks everyone realized how ****ty it is to pretend to be other people, and they work to be themselves.

It's not the movie you want to cite as a case for anti-white sentiment.

I know what the blacks reaaaaaally think. They can't be angry at me mocking them. That would make me.... Gasp.

This is an example of a parody. It was a gutsy move.

 

[TheParser]

It is incredible that a teacher would be so clueless in 2019.

One must simply not do anything that might offend some people who are constantly looking for an excuse to complain and, whenever possible, to collect financial compensation.

His dressing up like that was just plain stupid. Did he want to be fired?

And he was hilarioooous in it - cause nobody believes RBJ as an actor thought 'Im really going to play a (insert minority here) and they'll all believe it!'

John Wayne ? Elizabeth Taylor? They were serious about making your believe they were Asians, or Africans or whatever.

Yet again in this thread, we see the classic projection effect on display: People who complain about those who are easily offended are some of the most easily offended people you will ever meet.

"I know how to convince people I'm not racist, I'll speak for black people and explain how my racist crap doesn't bother them at all."


I'm just glad that's not me. I'm getting too old to get upset and, these days, I'm just glad it's not me.

Then I'm going to guess that you don't know many people of color.

Does the thread really need him to post a pic of a black guy in a Maga hat? Everyone can see he's completely talking out his ass to apologize for racist crap. Don't make him post the meme.

Teacher suspended for wearing blackface to school in California - CNN


Now I feel like dancing. Lol

Blackface seems to be going around a lot lately. While I think this is funny, the teacher should have know better or did he?

Had he been the Prime Minister of Canada or the Governor of Virginia he'd have kept his job.

How do you know which direction the teacher leans?

Oddly enough, the Prime Minister of Canada was a teacher when he did that. Still kept his job.
