Do you think this picture is offensive?


Mitchell Elementary School in Bridgewater, Massachusetts has apologized after a photo of a visit by a PILGRIM reenactor was mistaken for a SLAVERY RECREATION!

Thousands have shared the picture after it was posted on Facebook and people demand that the "Pilgrim" educator be fired for this photo.

Superintendent Derek J Swensen said that the black girl had "volunteered" to pretend to be a toddler and not a slave and has apologized..but that didn't satisfy for those that saw it

Apparently it was a pilgrilm visiting the school from a "local living history museum" Plimoth Plantation and the educator demonstrated clothing worn by people in the 17th century. The cloth leads connected to the back of the toddlers clothes used to keep them upright while they were learning to walk and the black girl had been roleplaying the part of a toddler, not a slave.

Monica Cannon-Grant however, a boston based gun control advocate is calling for the teacher to be fired and asking why this is acceptable in this day and age.

Do you think this picture is offensive?

In context, no, it's not.

People look for anything to be recreationally outraged by.

Offensive? Not really, given the context. But most people won't know the context when they see the pic, so while it may not be offensive it is an absolutely, incredibly, unbelievably stupid idea.

The problem these days is not inherently racism. It's the stupidity that is plaguing the country (and the world in general, tbh).

It's true. Because of her skin color she cannot simply pretend to be a pilgrim toddler on the floor without having a media cirus

Give the teacher a raise. These people are overreacting. I think back then people used leashes for toddlers and that is what is being demonstrated

Did you even read it? They are leads attached to toddlers clothes to help them balance while learning to walk.

Bet money at least 90% of readers never heard of such cloth existing back then.

do you guys really think they had slaves on leashes? you'd have to walk around constantly behind the slave and for every slave you would need a 2nd worker holding the leash. it wouldn't even make sense

Sorry little girl, you can't participate or have your picture taken because you're black and it might offend people.

Yeah the alternative was definitely much less racist.

Or you could...y'know...just have the black girl standing like the two white kids?

The fact that the option of her standing didn't even cross your mind speaks volumes, tbh.

Its sad they wish to focus on this rather than the fact the pilgrims were greedy pieces of shit who murdered their saviors in the name of the holy dollar

Pilgrim kids should be kept on leashes they are animals.

I feel bad for that little child. Of course none of those white kids would want to be the leashes child that would be beneath them huh?

Fuck white supremacy gotdamn
