Yet more idiot university students and blackface.

And please, don't come here to tell me it wasn't their intent to mock or that it's PC run amok.

That's what I find annoying. Idiots like these know what they're doing, but do it in a way so thst they can later claim it was a 'misunderstanding,' and by gosh they didn't know blackface was offensive, and of course they have black 'friends.'

Four Oklahoma State University students are facing unknown ramifications stemming from a social media post many are treating as racist. The students highlighted Martin Luther King Jr. Day by posting a photo to Instagram with two of the four girls wearing some kind of dark liquid mask on their faces. The girls wearing the masks were fair-skinned.

Vain selfies and social media destroy the lives and careers if so many. Maybe some day people will learn to stop broadcasting their every move and word

It's not funny. It's not creative. It's not original. It's not a joke.

It's just stupid.

As long as the PC crowd will get outraged, people will continue to outrage them for the lulz

I really don't understand why blackface is still a thing.

Blackface is PC?

And then they will continue to get expelled from school, fired from jobs, etc. Hope it's worth it for some "lulz".

The only thing your post tells me is that you probably know what they did was wrong, but you don't care.

I don't understand why anyone would want to do that unless they were virulently racist. I can't think of any other reason.
