Sorry, but this is hilarious

BATESVILLE, Miss. (TND) — A mother in Mississippi is reportedly upset after her son came home with an award from school that offended her. 

Shemekia Ellis says her son Braylen attends pre-kindergarten school at Batesville Elementary in the South Panola school district. 

Braylen is black and was given a "Monkey Award" for "entertaining others" in class, according to his mother.

  2. Solution is simple. Don't recognize blacks for anything, as you might offend them in some unintentional way

    1. Which is generally the way it works when someone is looking to be offended.
      My comment is not race specific.

    2. Exactly. We have successfully removed blacks (Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben's) and American Indians from commerce. Now to start working on awards. Eventually, our society won't have to acknowledge them at all.

  5. "her son was not aware of the racist connotations".
    He doesn't care about race, but how do kids learn to be racists? From their parents and the democrats of course.

  8. But that award was OK when it was given to another child, of any other race than Black.

  9. Sad when parents fuck up kids happiness. That kid was excited he got an award. Shit, he's not even in kindergarten. Give him a few years of innocence before you wreck his world. Unfortunately, it probably was already wrecked.

  10. Suck it up, Shemikia. Get yourself a hurdy gurdy and turn a dolla' on Braylen.

  12. The sub-humans sure are touchy about their uncanny resemblance to monkeys and apes. Now if only they were as reserved and well-behaved as their simian cousins, and could be trained as easily...

  13. That Teacher was pretty dumb to do that. As a RETIRED Teacher myself, I thought long and hard before I handed out any "Honors, Rewards etc. As way too many folks will use any excuse to try and get over on the School District one way or another.

  14. Now, if it was named the Cracker award Shemikia would still be pissed because Braylen can't relate to something named for white folks.
