Breitbart: A conservative student senator at Colorado State University, who is black, was kicked out of a student government meeting for wearing “blackface” as part of his Halloween costume mocking Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Colorado State University (CSU) student senator Koby Peters was removed from a student government meeting which took place on the day before Halloween, because he wore a costume depicting Justin Trudeau in “blackface,” according to a report by the Collegian.
The motion to remove the student senator passed overwhelmingly with a vote of 29-1-2. Peters, who is black, said that he arrived at the meeting wearing the blackface Justin Trudeau costume in order to start a conversation.
“I was truly hoping, I guess you could say, to open up a dialogue,” said Peters of his costume.
“It is sad to see that white liberal men can participate in blackface and either retain the position of Governor or even be re-elected as Prime Minister on the back of the endorsement of Obama, but a black conservative man who does the same is chastised and deemed racist by the College of Engineering and the University,” Peters told Breitbart News.
“God forbid a black man makes fun of the newly re-elected Justin Trudeau,” he added. “I hope my university will acknowledge its mistreatment of me and apologize, and I hope that black conservatives everywhere will continue to speak up and show the world we do exist.” read more
I have tried for the longest time to keep from using obscene words in my posts here, as I did not think that that would advance anything.
But I am tired of this shit.
What a remarkably confusing event.
And it isn’t Uncle Al who’s confused,
it’s the CSU student govt who’s confused.
All but one of them.
Well he got a conversation started just not the one he wanted. Then he lost 29-1-2 the dumb f*ck.
Nope, this is totally positive. It demonstrates that progs are totally insecure in where their movement stands today and cannot tolerate anything that deviates from total reverence.
@JD: Totally agree. It put this guy in the news and gave black conservatives an icon. It will also make the University and the libs squirm as they try to spin this.
Back when we walked uphill to and from school we were taught about freedom of expression, you’re free to express but with that freedom comes acceptance of the consequences. We were also taught that only tyrants, despots and dictators are afraid of a thought different than theirs. Cowards are afraid of freedom.
At least he didn’t dress like this

[FUNNY but EYE BLEACH WARNING]
They didn’t have a good argument to stand on so it was simply easier to make him go away rather than to try to explain the irony it to a bunch of Dumbed-Down, Self-Absorbed, Media-Influenced, Celebrity-Obsessed, Politically-Correct, Uninformed, Short-Attention-Span, Holier-Than-Thou, Low-Information Obama Voting Lemmings!
All I can do at this point is shake my head in wonderment at all of the crazy. A black guy can’t wear “blackface” but a white guy can? Oh. Yeah. My bad. Only a ”liberal” white guy can. Makes perfect sense.
The “College of Engineering”. Pins on the same medals. Purchased from the same people. Paid from the same money sump. As the “College of Studies”.
He’s clearly where he belongs. Doing what he loves. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
He shoulda worn a large orange wig instead…
