I have no words. Before you go any further, click on this link, then take a moment to absorb how monumentally deficient these people are.
A group of artists has been asked to lighten the faces of children depicted in a giant public mural at a Prescott school.
Okay, that's messed up.
...the school's principal says the request was only to fix shading and had nothing to do with political pressure.
Okay, so maybe it's a misunderstanding.
R.E. Wall...said he and other artists were subjected to slurs from motorists as they worked on the painting at one of the town's most prominent intersections..."We had children painting with us, and here come these yells of (epithet for Blacks) and (epithet for Hispanics)."
You've got to be shitting me.
Wall said school Principal Jeff Lane pressed him to make the children's faces appear happier and brighter.
Okay, well maybe it's just a coincidence. Or maybe it's like that scene in Knocked Up where they can't tell Katherine Heigl to lose weight, but they can tell her to "tighten" or "look at a scale and subtract that number by fifteen."
City Councilman Steve Blair spearheaded a public campaign on his talk show at Prescott radio station KYCA-AM (1490) to remove the mural.
...Blair mistakenly complained that the most prominent child in the painting is African-American, saying: "To depict the biggest picture on the building as a Black person, I would have to ask the question: Why?"
Wow, what a douchebag.
He insists the controversy isn't about racism but says the mural is intended to create racial controversy where none existed before.
"Personally, I think it's pathetic," he says. "You have changed the ambience of that building to excite some kind of diversity power struggle that doesn't exist in Prescott, Arizona. And I'm ashamed of that."
Okay, well maybe... Oh wait, no, still a douchebag.
Things aren't exactly looking good for the citizens of Arizona. Well, at least if you have that one nasty drop of non-White blood.
Y'know what I say? Colorado's nice this time of year, come hang out with us. Just make sure to keep your IDs handy till you cross the border.
