Is that illegal though?

National news for a post Desperate for any story that fits a narrative?

Utah? Sounds just about white.

What’s the problem?

KICK THEM OUT OF SCHOOL

so, two asshats then. easy to find.

Sad indictment of the human race not just U.S

But seriously folks, as stupid and ignorant as this is, why in the fuck would the police investigate this? What are they going to do?

So Ralph Northam?

Are those 3 guys officials from Virginia?! 🧐 Let me guess ... (1) Ralph Norton ..(2) Mark Herring ..(3)Justin Fairfax BINGO💥💫

You sure that's not the governor of Virginia's yearbook ,?

Disgusting and unconscionable behaviour. Their parents must be so proud.

What could ever have given them the idea that would be ok?

True trump supporters!

Paid to sell their souls to the hate baiters.

How Mormon of them.

Why is police investigating ?

A true Liberal would be saying that these assholes have the ABSOLUTE RIGHT IN AMERICA TO BE ASSHOLES... SINCE WHEN HAS BEING A RACIST BEEN A CRIME? Why would the police be INVESTIGATING this? Really, think about it... In America you can be stupid. No victims no crime

As detestable as the imagery is why are the police investigating it?

Is it the Governor of Virginia?

Is racism now a crime in the United states?

So we have one photo among the hundreds of millions or billions photos in this country. Not worth getting everyone in a fuss over this. Why bring attention to it?

They've lost their minds out there in Elvis country.

As long as police and media keep paying extraordinary attention to these incidents it will continue to be the never ending prank.

The Base.

What’s to investigate? Might be a disgusting photo but in America this is 100% legal and a Consitutional Right. It’s scary police are investigating a photo with nothing illegal being done in it.

I hope those disgusting kids are expelled and removed from their homes. They obviously learned this from their parents.

Was it Northram? Since he got away with it, why would this matter?

Democrats at it again

Is Ralph Northam in Utah?

Is it the governor of Virginia?!?!

Breaking news, investigating a picture.

Is that illegal?

Democrats are at it again. Nobody is fooled!

What was Ralph Northam doing in Utah?

TrumpBase

After all these yrs, all they have is black face. A dumb flag and the N word.. and ppl wonder why their ancestors lived in caves. And my ancestors were busy walking upright

I'm so shocked.👀

One man (and one complicit party) has made this behavior 'acceptable'. Illegal or not, these people have to understand that these actions will follow them forever...Trump will be gone soon without a care in the world. ComplicitGOP

Post-racist society indeed...

I wonder where they got the idea this is acceptable?.... But I'm sure they are fine people.

And thats a fucking ' BREAKING NEWS ' for FakeNewsNBC ... EnemyOfAmerica

Since when was it a crime to be racist in the U.S? Oh right, almost forgot, it's only a crime if you're white.

People! It’s not illegal to be a dumbass! We may not like it or agree but we are free aren’t we to be right and be wrong? Fight hate with love

Oh my! In Utah ?

Really not surprised America was built on hate and racism only 1's who REFUSE to KNOW this is Trump and his lil trumpets

Wait wait wait. You mean the Confederate flag has ties to white supremacy? 😳

Tragic, but this is the tone set at the top... and we will hear that there are very fine people on both sides....and the economy is good.

Ok, so this is in horrible taste, is despicable, and deserves chastisement. But police?

Welcome to Red America!

Democrats are the KKK. Fomenting Hate on the Black Community.

Welcome to Trump’s America! BlueWave2020

It might be disgusting, ignorant and racist, but how exactly is this illegal?

No surprise here. Welcome to Trump's world.

No laws were broken in this picture. And if not on school property it's not the schools responsibility to do anything to the students

What are they investigating? Based on your description, no crime has occurred.

Investigating for what? Freedom of expression?

'No level of discipline can repair the hate' How creepy are these people?

Not surprised

“Son, there goes the next governor of North Carolina.”

............AND IT STARTS

It's called a Trump rally.

What part of that is illegal

'a day in the life of....'

Why would police investigate that? What law was broken?

Where is Romney?

Romney on Mueller report: 'Really, really troubling,’ but Americans ‘just aren’t there’ on impeachmentSen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Sunday that he disagrees with the call for President Trump's impeachment issued by Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich. Mitt Romney failed to beat obama in 2012 simply because Mitt Romney is a member of the washington dc elite and voters could not see any difference between Mitt Romney and obama. obama was the worst president, EVER, and Mitt Romney could not beat obama. Mitt proves that he will be always a “party ahead of country” guy. Glad he lost his presidency bid Only trouble is..Trump is out performing much of what dems did/did not do. They all wanna jump in and take credit. Dems just bash. Maybe if they would have taken care of Americans. Trump trying. Doing better than all the 'experienced politicians' it eats at them.

Racist ‘promposal’ involving Palos Verdes High School students prompts backlashThe proposal is the latest in a series of troubling incidents involving students from schools in predominantly white, wealthy Southern California communities. fits with the pagan trump and his pagan staff ! hippocrit christians ! For decades political correctness has been killing our political process because politicians and people are afraid to say what they really think, so problems don't get solved. I sense that’s starting to change. It's refreshing. I’m happy not knowing how a promposal can be racist.
