Dirty Racial Minds: School Punishes Child Wearing Football Eye Black, Calling it “Blackface”

In one old Get Smart episode, agent Maxwell Smart is being evaluated by a psychiatrist who’s administering a Rorschach test. After Smart proceeds to interpret every nondescript inkblot as people or animals engaging in sexual congress, the shrink exclaims in a stereotypical heavy German accent, “Mr. Shmaht, you zeem to be obzessed vith zex!” Smart’s defensive reply is, “Well, you’re the one showing me the dirty pictures!”

This comes to mind when pondering today’s dirty racial minds — which, sadly, too often rain their filth down upon children. A good example is a recent case in which a California middle schooler was punished for innocently enjoying himself at a football game. His offense?

Emulating NFL players, he applied “eye black” to his face.

This was interpreted as “blackface” by his woke school, which then leapt into action. As OutKick reports:

The eighth-grader — known only as J.A. for privacy reasons — attended a high school football game between La Jolla High School and Morse High School on Oct. 13. Just like many pro athletes he sees on TV, J.A. wore eye black streaked down his cheeks and chin.

Anyone who spends any amount of time watching sports will see players wearing black paint under their eyes. Some just use a thin line to mitigate glare from the sun or stadium lights. Others slather it on like war paint.

But apparently there aren’t a lot of sports fans at Muirland Middle School. Because one week later, J.A.’s principal called a meeting with his parents. There, school officials informed them that the student would face a two-day suspension and may not attend any future athletic events.

A disciplinary notice said J.A. “painted his face black at a football game” and characterized the incident as an “offensive comment, intent to harm.”

Principal Jeff Luna also reportedly noted the face paint was offensive because Morse High School is “largely black,” according to Cal Coast News.

One might ask, though, “offensive” to whom? After all, while he “was at the game, no one accused the student of being in blackface,” Cal Coast News also reports. “A Black security guard even told him to add more face paint, the student’s father said.”

“He had a fun, great night without any trouble,” the student’s father further stated.

Below is a picture of the child, a young-looking 13-year-old, as he appeared at the game.

Now, the commentator in the video below (relevant portion begins at 1:30) points out that such a black paint pattern is precisely what many NFL players exhibit.

Thankfully, the boy’s father has vowed to clear his son’s record and name, and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to defending freedom of speech, has taken on the family’s case.

“Referring to the school’s ‘frivolous’ claim that J.A.’s face paint constituted blackface, FIRE said the student was only following ‘a popular warpaint-inspired trend’ used by athletes in recent history,” relates Fox News.

In reality, if at work here were only dirty racial minds, it might not be quite as bad as what the reality likely is. Addressing this, social media users accused Muirland principal Jeff Luna of engaging in “performative disciplinary action.”

“Appears that the principal is finding his safe space while throwing a young kid to the wolves!” exclaimed a poster under the above YouTube video.

“Liberals don’t care if there is an actual problem, they just want to signal their virtue while being oblivious to actual problems,” respondent Brett Hatfield remarked in an MSN.com comments section. “They want to be seen defending someone they deem ‘marginalized.’”

Ironically, though, J.A. is the one marginalized, as another social-media user noted. “But the school probably lets in purple hair, rainbow flags and any form of ‘alternate’ expression,” wrote “Drain The Swamp.” “BTW, that’s less that 50% of his face that has been blacked. WOW!!”

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time adults’ dirty racial minds have threatened kids’ relative innocence. For example, one day during the Little League World Series last year, kids on the Davenport Southeast Little League (Iowa) team began goofing around and, driven by a desire to imitate a baseball player whose white hairdo gained him fame, began putting white filling from a stuffed animal on each other’s head. This was done, mind you, to at least one white and one black kid (and perhaps more), and by both white and black kids. Nonetheless, the dirty-minded racial perverts demonized the white children. The video below outlines the incident.

Getting back to J.A., I contacted Principal Luna and asked him two questions. One was, “Do you really think that young kids understand the symbolism such an act holds in certain adults’ minds?” As of this writing, Luna hasn’t responded, but the question makes an important point.

Remember that even most adults aren’t that conversant with political and social matters; many can’t name their senators. So what do you think a pubescent kid knows? As “Karly” wrote in her tweet above, J.A. “didn’t even know what ‘blackface’ was and had to have it explained to him.” It’s likewise with the cotton controversy: The offense is in woke adults’ dirty little minds.

It’s a shame that damaged, twisted grown-ups will rain on children’s parades like this and seek to visit their hang-ups upon them. They’re as bad as the sexual devolutionaries — and often are one and the same — only, their obsession is skin color and not sex.
