Dealing in degrees of ridiculousness now, but I’m glad she went with “Showstopper” instead of “Showstoppa”.

They made up an award for the kid because he doesnt listen and wont sit his arse down and shut up.

Do you really want it to say "the kid with no home training" Award?

Now, I am a backwards redneck and you gotta just be as dumb as a pumpkin to give a black kid a monkey award.

Bingo.
This is just another element of grooming by teachers. They have to teach all kids to hate whites, to admire social deviants and to oppose traditional American values.

One look at her name and all the ignorance that spewed out of her mouth is absolutely no surprise

Oh, it was dumb but I highly doubt there was malice involved. One of the problems being a teacher is you probably have several parents like this every year.

That’s the problem here. Of course the award was given with zero racial motivation, and the mother needs to calm down, but seriously how are you a grown adult in 2022 and the thought doesn’t cross your mind that maybe it’s a bad idea? Could have just as easily given him a “Clown Award” if the teacher had use even a little common sense.

The fact she has showstopper as a title in her name is all i needed to see to know where this was going



She probably called her pussy the Wallet Buster until people stopped buying it.

so the teacher was unaware about this
the kid was happy and didnt give a shite

at some point is this just continuing the legacy of a racist term for the shits and giggles of it. if you let it die as a racist term it loses all power.

I don't understand the issue. It's Pre-k and monkey, jungle, etc is a major theme in every baby store. Every baby registry I see has some sort of monkey artwork, bedding, stuffed animal, mobile, etc. No one looks at a mobile over a crib and thinks awe, look at the little black babies. This world is so stupid right now.

What happened to the other 3?

Meanwhile, monkeys all over the world are wondering why they’re being cancelled left and right.

For the record, I DGAF about this award. I'm as anti-PC as anyone you can name. Best practice for this award would have been to call it the "clown" or "entertainer" or "happy cat" or anyfrickingthing except "monkey" in 2022.

Again, refer to my above statement, but this is straight up bullshite right here. It's either patently made up OR the teacher is lying.

Period.

If her child would not have gotten any award she would have been on Twitter bitching about that.

Ellis met with school district officials who told her what happened was unacceptable. They said her child’s teacher didn’t know the history behind Blacks being compared to monkeys. “She said the teacher stated that she gave him the award for his energy,” Ellis said. “But the award doesn’t say anything about energy. It says entertainment.”


Former President Bush was compared to a monkey, and it was not about energy or being fun.

Also would think teacher would be in trouble if she had decided to not consider black kids for award that most kids would love to get at that age.

People call kids monkeys all the time, but the racism that’s ignore is thinking & supporting idea that blacks can’t be treated the same as other kids in group.

This latest victimhood pushed has empowered the unreasonable and ignorant blacks to stay that way. It making kids victims that would have just had fun with it and been a regular student with rest of the kids. Instead of helping black kids it’s making them feel more different than their parents and possibly grand parents felt growing up. White kids are learning black kids have to be treated differently as well. That’s not progress.
