Ok, but who thought that was a good idea?

Why do some people still think that this is a good idea

Some parents like to feign ignorance, some white people genuinely see no problem with it

I'm guessing they didn't receive lectures/classes about racism in their own education before doing this lol.

Seems too obvious to be the case but yeah. Such dumbasses grow up in a bubble and have never had their presumptions about race or “others” challenged.

Article says the staff and most students are Hispanic and I'm guessing whoever thought this up was an immigrant paid $12/hour so what do people expect? My kid's daycare did something oddly sketchy like this. Not as bad and I can't remember what but I'm sure Miss Isabella didn't mean any harm.

Florida, where teaching about slavery is a felony and black face is acceptable.

Sounds like a Florida thing to do. Now that books are a felony they're just gonna get increasingly dumber.

In Florida, you can wear black-face, but you're not allowed to understand why it's wrong, under penalty of torture.

Every time I think Florida can't surprise me anymore...

Any normal people from Florida on this sub? Are you folks ok? Blink twice if you need help.

Man the news is really trying to convince me that there are schools in Florida.

I have a really hard time believing it.

Technically not school. Pre School because you gotta get them young.

Dude who ever thought this was a good Idea needs a crash course on common sense.

They likely didn't know about blackface because we, on a whole, don't like talking about the history of racism in the US in structured classes in schools.

Ok but who would teach it?

They’ll have to call up someone from outside of Florida, that’s for certain.

espressocycle t1_j8wn4cq wrote

Sounds like it was a latina immigrant. If you don't understand the baggage of blackface in this country the idea of putting yourself in another person's skin is not intrinsically offensive.

Black History Month seems to lead to more racism complaints than other months.

Katana1369 t1_j8jl2l3 wrote

Yes because blatant racism is how far too many schools and people celebrate Black History Month.

Not only is this racist, but it's also just a mess. Can you even imagine cleaning that paint off? It would stain clothes, your sink. Fuck, I would be pissed!

Good luck explaining to the kids why you can’t do that. “This is wrong because racism exists kids”. And wide eyed they go “IT DOEES??” As you introduce racism into their lives by explaining why they can’t paint their faces black.

Odd I was able to access it. Perhaps they fixed the glitch.

espressocycle t1_j8wm8vv wrote

TL/DR Latina daycare workers who probably get $12 an hour didn't understand the nuances of race relations in the USA.
