A white, blond-haired Kansas State University student has been expelled from school after Snapchatting a photo of herself and a friend wearing black clay face masks with the caption “Feels good to finally be a *****.”

The young woman, Paige Shoemaker, posted the image to her Snapchat story, meaning it could be seen by any of her followers, on Tuesday night. But the trouble started when a fellow student, Desmund Weathers, posted the image to Twitter, where it swiftly went viral — prompting public outcry, a formal response from the university, and a Facebook apology by Shoemaker on behalf of herself and her friend, Sadie Meier.



Good Ol Social Media. The world would be such a better place without it.

Tacky perhaps-but why should she be kicked out of college for this? Does the same college also kick out any racist idiots that participate in a BLM "event"? If not-why the bigotry?

This girl and her friend tried it... She got herself into this mess.

She straight up said it wasn't blackface. That's a joke. She then admitted she and her friends say the word amongst themselves. SMH.

Bye. I don't feel sorry for her.

Thats what I'm saying... unsure why should would be kicked out, unless the school has a clause somewhere in their rules that allows them to do so.

Why is that? Now I know there is a double standard where its open season on white people , but the environment is what it is. She was too stupid not to know what the double standard is. I like a platform that lets the stupid people experience the consequences of their actions. The N word ending with a is now a compliment, but stupid liberals don't know that.

I like how they make an effort to point out it was a white blond-haired person so we know exactly who to hate.

I'm sure anyone with thin skin would find that offensive. I find it stupid but hardly offensive. I see people wearing face paint at football games all the time. Big deal.

She's an idiot, but she can say whatever she wants to say(even though I don't agree with it), and the college can boot whoever it wants to boot (even though I don't agree with it).
