Look: 'It Isn't Cute or Funny!' Oklahoma Students Slammed for Wearing Blackface Masks on MLK Day in Problematic IG Post

An intense debate followed on campus and Twitter.
  • In an untimely posted photo on Instagram, several Oklahoma State students were pictured wearing blackface on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

  • Once the post was circulated online, many people became angry and demanded the school take action

  • Oklahoma State University's Twitter page commented that they are handling the issue

  • However, one person posted a text she received from someone who claimed that the girls are clearly wearing face masks

  • Although the girls have not commented on whether it is a mask or blackface, many think they need to understand the insensitivity involved in blackface

    None of the girls in the photo have commented, nor have their identities been released.
