I agree this was wrong, because no human child should have to pretend to be a nigger.
An Atlanta charter school has issued an apology and launched an investigation after causing an uproar for staging a black history performance which saw second-graders wearing blackface masks.
“Kindezi Old Fourth Ward sincerely apologizes and accepts responsibility for the hurt, anger, frustration, and disappointment caused by the poor judgment we made in having students use masks that mimic blackface while reciting Paul Lawrence Dunbar’s poem We Wear the Mask at our Black History program Thursday night,” a statement posted to the school’s Facebook page reads.
Commonly worn by white performers in early 19th-century minstrel shows, blackface masks are emblematic of racism and mockery of black culture.

That's a bullshit explanation of blackface. Blackface didn't mock niggers any more than it portrayed them as they really are, including their jungle sounds. White people also needed to do blackface because niggers didn't have the talent or work ethic to be themselves on stage (or be trusted around white women).
