@2cents post seem to make it pretty clear that body painting to support your team is definitely a thing in the US, but yes that one particular guy needs some talking to that's for sure.
The thing is that he might not be racist but just too stupid to know better which is a quality we should never underestimate, especially at that age. If that's the case, make it a learning experience for him and everyone around him who thought it was ok. We can't scream bloody murder every single time we see something like this, especially when we don't have any facts other than one picture. I think the PC culture is going through a bit of a 'boy who cried wolf' situation, with the people who should really listen and learn just shrugging their shoulders every time something new comes up, because something new comes up every single day and many times it seems like a giant over reaction (mainly because of social media).
If I'm as a "leftist" is starting to have problems with it then I can't imagine how the fine people on the other side feels about it.
Apparently so.
So apparently this is quite common:
America is a weird place.
Getting together with your two best mates, painting yourselves white and then standing together to spell out CUM.
Yep. America is a weird place.
Ask these guys. I don't know how PC the black guy with the white body and red face is, but based on this picture my guess is that he's a super racist.

That @FoxNews at the end says all you need to know, really.
Oh yeh i totally agree. But i can see how an african american can be offended by this. Specifically that kid on the right. Its just not necessary, like making what looks like hitler stache and salute to a Jewish kid
People paint themselves all sorts of colors for these [insert color]-out games, including white. Storm in a teacup kinda shit I think. Also depends on how far one takes like if they put on a curly wig or had red lips...
Destroyed where? I replied and the post got moved to the Racism thread so that's where the discussion is now. Unless you expected me to reply to your cascading epic about how hard you would ignore my posts in the future.
As for the picture, it's some kids wearing black and painted black. They were obviously allowed to do it and we know from the first set of videos that black children go to the school and are well integrated so I don't see anything to take note of here.
I was going to say that but what's the point. Such a lame excuse for a very questionable act and stupid, especially excusing a blackout with a guy dressed full minstrel.
There's just something about this phrasing that seems a little bit... unfortunate.

Supreme Court Leaves DACA Alone, Giving Democrats Little Incentive To Compromise
President Donald Trump proposed extending protections for certain Dreamers as part of a compromise to end the government shutdown.
So the scab in the WH needs to go back to the drawing board.
oh dear.

He uses everyrhing that suits his agenda. Scum.
I ain't never seen the whole "paint the face and body" version of the blackout/whiteout student sections.
Me either.
Ah, so it’s a ploy to shut Mueller down is it. They run out of money and have to stop and when the shutdown ends he tells them there’s not enough money to carry on.
Not sure how accurate that report is. A DOJ official said in December it’s funded by a separate, infinite/indefinite fund.
You've got no problem with people blackfacing but do with a 16th century reference to painting walls white?
I think it's tongue in cheek. England start their tour of the West Indies tomorrow.
Well, given that the Supreme Court has a strong right-wing core now, it's not a surprise.
Like most (all?) controversies, no matter how much he was in the wrong. Even when it went against the proclaimed standards of major parts of his base, see the infidelity & pussy grab scandals.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something in his and his followers' posture that seems to make them invincible. Their own moral failures and inconsistencies never hurt them, but at the same time they can easily exploit those (alleged or actual) of their opponents. They can impose standards on their enemies which they never have to meet themselves. They have somehow cracked the code of the liberal public and its power substructures.
It's a cult or at least quacks like one
oh no the black facing is disgusting.
If the fecking loonies can raise $15 million or whatever if was for a wall then I'm damn sure Mueller could fund his investigation until 2120 via GoFundMe if he really needed to.
So the shutdown.. people who Reddit, head over to this link. Some interesting posts over there.
This is the topmost comment now:
Anyone here agree with this?

I mean, he/she’s not wrong. But I think the issue is, let’s say Dems agree to Trump’s deal and reopens government, then it sets the precedent that Trump/Republicans can shut down the government to force any deal they want. Furthermore, it’s another thing to talk about that takes more scrutiny on the Mueller investigation at least in the eyes of public opinion. I think Cuomo is right in that they’re doing all possible to play the long game and win in the elections.
I really don’t agree with this because Trump can reopen the government whilst still keeping the dialogue open over his wall funding. Potentially achieving the aim with reasonable deal making. Whereas if the Democrats give in, the country is lumbered with a permanent “solution” in $5.7bn worth of wall. Democrats are saying we’ll give you everything you got for border security last year (most of which you didn’t even spend), and then once reopen commit to continuing the dialogue on a wall. Trump is putting a gun to everyone’s head and saying give me what I want, or else.
Big difference.
The President has an obligation to represent ALL the people of the country. Not just the ones who voted for him or agree with him. Holding the government to ransom is antithetical to the principles of the office. Now, I am not saying that opposition parties do not contribute to what is essentially a fecked up political system; but Trump has said he would shut the government down to get what he wanted, and he’s done exactly that. It’s rule by diktat and rule by bullying.
The president is ultimately held responsible for keeping the government and country running. The buck stops at the top.
Here's the thing. Trump is a terrorist that will easily lite the country a blaze if he could just to say he got a win. Its hard to negotiate with someone that has gone all in the way he has with no regard for consequences. So could the dems give him a measly five billion to stop this nonsense . Of course they could. Its peanuts in terms of their actual budget. So it's not that the financial loss is that bad, so what's the politics to it as that's what this all boils down to. Trump wants them to take his deal, But what insentive do they have. Very few centrist dems are feeling pressure, trump has not given them anything in return for the wall. The courts have sured up DACA so even his shitty shady con deal on Saturday wouldn't make any sense for them to take as the dreamers are not going anywhere. They have asked for nothing and have passed he Senates spending bill. I just don't see what he's brought to the table to justify them caving to the 5.7 billon that experts say isn't needed.
So they all can say dems this and dems that. They
How is it a lame excuse when painting your body all sorts of colors to support your team is a very common thing to do and that kid in particular has been pointed out as an exception as he clearly crossed the line?
AFAIK no one in here has said that what he did was ok, but just because he’s an uneducated idiot or a full blown racist doesn’t mean that everyone who has ever gone to a blackout game and did more than wear black clothes should be thrown in PC jail.
(that’s my last post about this since it’s gone very OT)
It's mainly Trump who has caused it with this stupid idea of building a wall. Then of course, by not agreeing with him the Dems are causing it as well.
Trump at fault for shutdown.....together with McConnell.....and putting every citizen at risk in the process.
Do like the phrase “it’s an insider threat”.
I don't think he was intending for the Mueller investigation.
By all accounts he was about to sign the spending bill before the maga crew raised their ugly heads .

There is so much support from Trump in India. I just had a big arguement with him on why a wall is bad idea and why Trump is a bad president.
He wants India to take a leaf of Trump's book and build a wall between in it's Bangladeshi border to stop immigration!
