Making something "racist" does not make it racist. Should have know by her name. And by the way, you're not AFRICAN AMERICAN. That is a made up term from your liberal retards in power. These people are so damn dumb.

What is hard to understand about getting an award for keeping class entertained and getting an award for completing pre-k?


Is she confused on whether he completed pre-k?

Ellis said she was told award ceremonies like this one will not happen anymore.


It’s sad that this is the solution. Democrats are pushing hard to keep the next generation of black voters more entrenched on the Democratic plantation than even their parents and grandparents.

Just be glad it wasn't a silver back or baboon award.

Period.


Exactly. Now, if you didn't recognize that this was not a big deal in the context of an award, then sure, that is at least plausible. But no one is dumb enough to not know the negative connotation of monkeys and black people in general. If she is that dumb, frick racism, she should be fired for being ignorant.

When I was a kid, it meant the best tree climber and any boy was proud to be called a monkey

Imagine having no clue what is an offensive term to someone with a different background than yourself.

I was at the dog park and watched small black children climb on trees that were planted over a year ago calling each other monkeys and laughing. While fricking the trees up. Dumb move on the schools part but I do believe the context is a bit misconstrued by the people complaining.

I wasn’t aware that was a term historically used to demean white men. If so, then yes it was wrong. It’s wrong for either side. Simple as that.

I have a teacher friend who had a similar story. They were putting on a play where each kid got to choose an animal and dress up.

The only black kid in class chose to be the monkey. The teacher had no idea about the racist connotation until other teachers "enlightened" her. They made the kid choose a different animal to avoid something like this.

Pretty sad because the kid didn't get to be the animal he wanted to be because of "racism".

Kids don’t know any of this shite until theyre taught about it. Calling everything racist and being a victim is taught in the home, poor kid is ruined now by his mom

This is actually sad

A bunch of white liberals telling a black kid he can’t be what he wants to be
