Telling the niggers to not be nappy. Racist.
Georgia Elementary School Is Accused of Racial Insensitivity Over Hairstyle Guidelines Display
From New Age box fades to braids, a display on the wall of a suburban Atlanta elementary school tried to illustrate a variety of “inappropriate” haircuts and hairstyles. But there was one thing the children who were photographed had in common: They were all black.
They were all black in a niggerschool? How shocking!
The display by the Narvie J. Harris Theme School in Decatur, Ga., was taken down on Thursday — the same day it had been put up — after being widely criticized as racially insensitive. The episode happened at a time when cities and states across the United States have adopted legislation making it illegal to discriminate on the basis of a person’s hairstyle.
The faces of the children in the photographs were covered with Post-it notes. It was unclear if they were students at the school, which is 95 percent African-American, according to the state’s Governor’s Office of Student Achievement.
“It wouldn’t have looked so bad if they had included other races,” Ms. Wadlington, who is African-American, said in an interview on Friday. “Those styles are very popular styles. Who says that our hair is not professional? Our hair is part of us.”
