kid paints his face black to look like MARTIN LUTHER KING JR

A boy, who painted his face black to dress up like Martin Luther King Jr for a class project, was taken out of school after his headteacher said it was offensive.

Sean King, a white second grade student at Meridian Ranch Elementary in Colorado Springs, was asked to remove the makeup because it was deemed ‘disrespectful to black people’ I hope this isn't a repost. I did a search and didn't find anything.

    the school is taking this way to serious. the kid tried to do his best and did not mean to insult anyone.

  • Kid was trying to do good. The fact that he chose MLK Jr. as a positive historical figure says a lot about him alone. So screw the offended PC bitch... she needs to get a life. And the school needs to butt out - this wasn't out of line.

      Well if that's the case, it sucks even more, IMO. Seems he did his homework, was using inspiring parts of MLK's speech at the Washington Mall and so on. They made a mountain out of a mole hill. This "I'm offended" bullshit has gone way too far. And it was only one person who bitched about it.. ONE.
      Ridiculous.

  • Look you have to see it from the black community's point of view. Lets say this kid leaves school and goes out and helps someone or obeys the law or even God forbid gets a job then how is that going to look? The damage it could do to their reputation could be devestating.

    • @sobrelosolas
      How much welfare, subsidized housing, apologies, college funds, black presidents, change of laws, affirmative action, etc. is it going to take to get victim-mentality jerk-offs like you to shut the fuck up?

      If you don't like it, remember, you are free. That means you can go back to your ancestral lands at any time.

      I know many, MANY blacks that are happy, productive members of society. It's assholes like you who have a bug up their ass that are trying to keep race issues alive. G More..

  • Now the kid wanted to look like a hero for his project, and the school called that offensive. "Hey kid, you look like a monkey, clean up or get out!" is what I see.


    They act as though the kid showed up with a disease. All black students should be offended by the school's response.
