Wow! He was merely trying to be authentic ... it's not like he came out tap dancing or something. I feel bad for the kid =o/

White Girls movie makes millions

2nd grade boy tried to represent some history and gets tossed out of school

black face does not equal racism

hell Robert Downey Jr was in blackface for entire movie and he won a fucking award lulz

that school should be sued for racism for kicking the student out

So the idiot bitch who was offended? Another tool with no clue about the definition of the word racism, otherwise known as a rabble-rowsing, trouble-making drama queen. Go get you some tickets to the Maury fucking Povich show~
Unfortunately the world is full of them.

Seriously? The whole blackface controversy needs to die down. Unless someone is doing a Minstrel Show I really don't see anything wrong with white people wearing blackface especially in this case!

Black people's faces are black. So if you're not black and you're trying to portray a black person accurately, one must make it black somehow. Why is there a controversy?

Some ideas are always stupid no matter how carefully or respectfully done.

There is no wrong here.
