arizona racism story going on in prescott arizona a mural has been
altered to lighten children skin tone this is painted on the side of an
elementary school he was recently completed as pictures of
faces of the children who attend the school but not everybody is pleased with
the outcome prescott city councilman steve blair
who has a radio show on fox news owned station k_ y_ c_ a_ once the mural
taking down all together he says it depicts an agenda
and indoctrination
of public school children
somehow i don't think it has much to do with indoctrination
as it is about they're being
dark-skinned people
on the mural
now instead of removing at the school principal asked the artist to lighten
the faces of the children in the picture this followed harassment of the artist
by drive-by right wingers who are flinging racial epithets at the mall
they were painting welcome to arizona i guess
and uh...
you know we need to lighten the skin tone of the faces of the children in the
picture
because we can't have brown children representing arizona
first prescott specifically here's a quote from steve blair i'm not a racist
by any stretch of the imagination
but when people start talking about that adversity it's a word
i can't stand
he can send a ver si we can't stand the word
diver sity there is a difference right
uh there could be
you're not sure what it is that nahi also says to depict the biggest picture
on the building is a black person
i would have to ask the question
i guess that's part of those family values in the republican party right
