Here’s How Not to Ask Your Black Friend to Prom

A recently tweeted image of girls holding a racist sign has caused outrage online. (Photo: Jon Aro via Twitter)
Promposal season is in full swing, and while we all love seeing the extravagant, dramatic, adorable ways kids are asking each other to prom these days, some proposals are simply in poor taste.

Today’s tasteless gesture comes courtesy of some students who allegedly attend Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, Fla., where a receptionist tells Yahoo Style that the principal is “aware of” the photo — made public through a tweet posted on Wednesday by Monarch High School alum Jon Aro, aka user @papichombo. It shows an Instagram screenshot (from a now-defunct account) of three teenage girls, one black and two white, holding up a cardboard sign reading, “You may be picking cotton, but we’re picking you to go to prom with us.”

“It is two thousand and f***ing seventeen,” Aro wrote captioning the image. And while it is unknown when the photo was taken and who the sign is addressing, people had unsurprisingly strong reactions, with the post being retweeted more than 5,800 times and “liked” more than 8,000, and earning a huge collection of angered comments.

Black people have no sense of pride; no dignity; no desire for progression; no willpower to become un-fuck-wit-able as a whole group.

In general, we're mental dick huggers who beg for acceptance from outside groups - particularly the one that mainly dominates us.

We're a low self-esteem ass "race."

All these types of prom asks are always Black kids who live in majority cac areas. Niggaz always bitching at me when I bring up demographics but the truth is you sacrifice your childs dignity and Black pride just to live around them.

Don't blur their faces. Why spare them the shame?

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Y'all remember that pic that gat max-dawg self ban?

It was a white kkk dude and a black man INFRONT of a hung black man(held back some tears typing that)

This is reminds me of that.

I don't even want to know the reason why that black girl was holding that sign


Peace

 

[keone]

that shit doesnt even make sense

 

[geechiedan]

that shit doesnt even make sense

Don't blur their faces. Why spare them the shame?

And while it is unknown when the photo was taken and who the sign is addressing,

it makes no sense if we don't know who they are talking to..they could be addressing someone not black at all...

All the OP saw was a black girl in the pic and the phrase cotton picking. Then jump to a conclusion.

 

[the artist]

Dafuq!!

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

retarded, the whole thing is retarded.

so all three girls asking one dude to go

to a prom..

where does the picking cotton thing even come from..

it has to be a sick inside joke....

 

[knightmelodic]

To see how disassociated these kids are from the horrible racist words and treatment directed at us daily is heartbreaking. Goes to show how powerful the media is. How else would we be accepting the slave master's version of events? Not only accepting it, but teaching it to our children. Shit is sad man.

 

[geechiedan]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO THEYRE ASKING ON THE PROM??

 

[ghoststrike]

Don't blur their faces. Why spare them the shame?

The mainstream media is 10 steps behind with that attempted coddle. The unblurred version is already viral on social media

Props to the young man Jon Aro (@papichombo) for exposing those little white supremaciests.

The the black girl needs a belt to her ass

 

[Mentor B]

Man shut the fuck up

Eat a dick, nigga.

Good question. I'm trying to make some sense of this myself but I can't.

THIS

That dude posted their info and everything like fuck it - if they dumb enough to even take the pic then get ready for the feedback.



I'm gonna be stupid here and ask a stupider question... is the girl's name Cotton?? That would be an incredibly fucked up coincidence.



oNE

Bump.. didn't catch this thread...

 

[jack walsh13]

All three need to be expelled. Cut the fuck off from the school.

That's why it's hard to trust many of them. They'll sell you out for other non black people. No other race does that shit to their own on the regular. They stay on code. If I had beef with a non black person and that same person had a black friend present best believe I'd keep my eye on that nigga. Cause, they have so much to prove to other races.

This is why I no longer feel for or make threads about niggaz getting beat up by Asians, arabs and latinos who are being accepted more into white status. Niggaz never learn.

All failed by their parents. The black girls' parents need to take a long hard look at the life path and style they've exposed her to and make a drastic course correction.

Right.

And there was an emotional nigga by the name of @TheyCallMeBe who is representative of why we cannot make progress as a whole.

Let me spit game:

There is a difference between a man and boy - a motherfucking man and a little ass boy (mental).

Now, what does a man do? A man thinks logically and takes emotion out of the equation. In order to progress, he has to come to terms with his flaws. He has to realize exactly what they are so he knows what to specifically improve upon.

Everything I said in my previous post is a flaw of African-Americans from a general standpoint.

Now, what does a boy do?

A boy gets his feelings hurt and says things like, "Man, shut the fuck up!"

People who have a genuine care about other people will let them know the ugly truth and what's wrong with them. But overly emotional niggas and/or dudes who were raised without strong father-figures confuse brutal honesty as insults.

My gem for today.

 

[ballscout1]

so here is a novel question.

what if he really was picking cotton ?

would it still be racist ?
