Teen boys told to leave school over 'blackface' selfie say it was green acne medication

A pair of teenage boys who were ordered out of their private school over a 'blackface' photo row say it was actually green acne medication and are now suing the school for $20million (£14.3million).

The duo say they were forced out by staff after a photo showing them wearing face paint alleged to be discriminatory went viral last year in the wake of racial unrest in the US.

But the teens claim the 'selfie' picture was taken in August 2017 and actually showed their faces covered in green acne medication...

...The lawsuit claims that one of the boys had acne and spread a light green mask on his face before two friends decided to join him, in a show of solidarity.

But, when the masks dried, the lawsuit states, the colour darkened and the three took a selfie - which later went viral, catching the attention of their school.

The lawsuit adds that another photo showing some of the boys - then aged 14 - in white acne medication was taken the day before...

I do hope they win enough to pay for their college education.

Make ‘em pay. That’s the only way they’ll stop.

It should come out of the salaries of the teachers, principle, and school board that did the false accusation.

I hope one of the boy’s doctors has a record of prescribing the green acne medicine to the boy for his acne condition. If so game over, go to the bank and fire some school folks.

It is the staff that is being discrimatory.

It is their job to educate. If they perceived they were doing something wrong, they should tell them, not kick them out of the school.

This is total insanity.

When are people going to grow a set and tell these damn race baiters to take a hike?

Whites have become so pusillanimous.

The first civilization in history to deliberately self destruct.

Back in the American Sector, decades ago, when 2 people had a difference of opinion that tended to catch the general attention . . .

The 2 fellows were put up on the stage at the day’s assembly, where the 2 fellows were then expected to proceed with their “debate.”

That, happens to be the generally accepted form - in decision making - in the common law of family/tribal custom.

Instead of the left’s modern, harsh “arbitration” that is possessed of absolute “Stalin’s Way or the ‘Highway’” tyranny.

If the cancel culture takes out the jackasses doing rap without blackness, I'll be pretty happy about it.

if you look at the picture you can tell that they’re green, not black. At worse, they are doing Green Face. Martians should be outraged.

I hope they are awarded the $20 million! The woke culture maniacs won’t listen to anything else.
