Only 1 Month After Another Student Used a Lynching Reference
Full Story

Fact: It’s never cute to be racist when asking someone to prom.
The student from Los Gatos High School claims he wore the blackface just to depict a “bitmoji” on Snapchat to ask someone to go with him to prom, but now he has found himself in a whole heap of trouble.
“My intentions were to just ask a girl to prom, not to be racist,” the unidentified student told NBC Bay Area.
According to the student, he asked a girl to prom with his bitmoji on Snapchat. However, when that didn’t work, he decided to show up at her house dressed as the bitmoji, including the blackface.
“To dress up like my bitmoji, I had no racist intentions. I didn’t mock the African-American community at any point,” the student said.
“I just want to say I’m sorry if I offended anyone. That wasn’t my intention,” he added, according to KTVU. “I’m not a racist kid, and I just want to say this is a big misunderstanding.”
“People are offended by the stupidest things these days,” the student said. “At one point do we say enough is enough and let the offended kind of run the world.”
There’s nothing more attractive than being wrong and strong.
Nonetheless, the promposal isn’t going over well with some parents at the school.
“I was shocked; I was horrified,” said Pilar Crawford. “But then it also shows me that he doesn’t think that’s wrong, he doesn’t understand—or maybe he does—how black people feel about blackface.”

And, according to the news station, it is not the first time a Los Gatos High School student has shown his or her true colors. Just last month, a junior asked a girl to prom using a poster that read, “Do u wanna be like a n****er and hang at Prom” complete with a depiction of a lynching.
According to KTVU, the school issued a statement to the school’s newspaper saying, “No communication about any school event should denigrate another person or group for any reason. We are aware of two prom asks this spring that have been of [a] racist nature and want this choice never to recur.”
The school is now looking into offering cultural-sensitivity programs for the next school year. The student who wore blackface said that he was required to attend a 45-minute counseling session at the school as a form of discipline.
Despicable. African Americans cannot catch a break, no matter where they live -- even in a liberal state such as California.
The young boy doesn't get it because he doesn't want to and sadly in today's country, he doesn't have to. This is exactly what Make America Great Again means.
Terrifying.

Unfortunately, it appears alive and well through out America since Donald J. Trump took the office of presidency.
According to the liberal media.

Sheesh. How did that dude think this would be a good idea and not get him in any trouble? Still pretty funny though but I am a POS.

Holy shite that sign. It is both hilarious and awful.
Sounds like the original kid is just a fricking mongoloid who didn't realize that blackface was even an offensive thing.

I dress up all the time in my wife's lingerie, but that's for another day and another story.

I mean, blackface has been taboo for so long that perhaps a 15 year old has no idea it's even a thing?

Really? You don't think drawing a lynched black dude from a tree and asking someone if they want to hang is racist? I'll be the first one to say people are offended too easily,but come on. This may be just a joke but its still a racist joke. There's no denying that.

This being in Los Gatos doesnt surprise me. One of the whitest places in the Bay Area. Its a bunch of spoiled rich kids.

Wearing chains to Halloween one year while in blackface was racist.
But you know what, every black person at the gas station came up to tell me it was funny as shite
That was only ten years ago.

I would have said "Quote this. frick off and I will not make an apology and if for some reason I have to, I just want to make it clear I will not mean a single word of it because this has nothing to do with what yall are making it out to be. So choke on a dick!"
