Altered mural fuels racial debate in Prescott

Quote:
An Arizona elementary school mural featuring the faces of kids who attend the school has been the subject of constant daytime drive-by racist screaming, from adults, as well as a radio talk-show campaign (by an actual city councilman, who has an AM talk-radio show) to remove the black student's face, and now the school principal has ordered the faces of the Latino and Black students to be changed to Caucasian skin.
What in the world is wrong with Arizona?

Absurd, but unfortunately can't say I'm surprised.

And yet, there will be no shortage of posters here who'll defend this, and insist that it isn't in any way racist.

Just watch.

You think they will defend it like the libs defended the Helen Thomas racist comments?

It is hard to comment at all on this story because they do not show the whole mural or the before and after. Since many hispanics are lilly white how do we know they aren't still depictions of a hispanic?

Wow what a disturbing story. I am not surprised though, as a state resident. This place is really a freak show.

Maybe it is all the crime, the murders and the cost that finally has tipped the scale. AMERICANS should not have to be subjected to all this from people that have no right to be here.

The Prescott city council member that asked for the pinting to be changed was fired from his radio show Friday.

Why is it that libs believe that only white people can be racist? Newsflash, blacks, browns, purples, greens, etc. can be racist too. And since we're on the topic of political correctness, let's get rid of all murals, so that way no one race is seen to be preferential to another.

Wow Einstein, you sure like to rocket off on tangents don't you. I must have missed the part where green residents were up in arms about the kids mural.

Try to stay focused on the topic. You can start your own thread about racist green aliens if you wish.

Another one. Quite a leap in logic to get from people swearing at a brown face on a mural (subject of OP) to DEFENDING AMERICA!
