Summary: A high school student in Grand Rapids, Michigan was videoed in “blackface” a form of mockery towards African American people. The student was suspended and the superintendent of the school district spoke of how horrid the behavior was and how the district had a zero-tolerance policy towards this.
Position: This relates to the entertainment back in the 1850s and 1860s, when performers would dress up as African Americans and proceed to mock them for their beliefs, etc.
This is very awful! The fact that things like this has been happening for so long is very infuriating.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that they actually took action and punished him.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that people still think this is funny or okay astonishes me. Good for the school for giving him consequences.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about it?
