Kansas Mayor Mell Kuhn Dresses In “Blackface Drag” For “Men In Tights” Ball
6 October 2008, 9:00 AM. By Daniel Mauser
Arkansas City, Kansas mayor Mell H. Kuhn decided that nothing would be more appropriate for the Court Appointed Special Advocates’ annual fundraiser, Men in Tights, than a red sequined dress accessorized with blackface, a curly wig, and a dark-colored bodysuit. Kevin Myles, president of the NAACP’s Wichita Branch, had this to say about the mayor’s choice of outfit:
I requested the meeting with the modest goals of making accessible to the Mayor the level of offense and outrage his performance had engendered, and to impress upon the Mayor our perspective that this performance, when viewed with other key indicators, appears to be emblematic of a larger problem and perspective gap.
These issues were highlighted by an interview that appeared in the online version of the Ark City Traveler newspaper in which the Mayor reportedly said, “I don’t give a damn what people think. It’s a bunch of bullshit” and later remarked, ”All this PC is bullshit”.
After meeting with Myles, who pointed out that perhaps dressing ilike Harvey Fierstein’s secret cousin is not the best way to go about things, Mayor Mell H. Kuhn publicly announced that:
“It has been brought to my attention how offensive this was and I absolutely agree that it was shortsighted of me not to see that in the first place. I am sincerely sorry and I sincerely apologize for the offensive nature of my actions. [T]his was of my own volition, and I take full responsibility for my actions. The buck absolutely stops here”.
This was after Kuhn had been presented a trophy at the Men in Tights ball. Which begs the question… Double-sided tape? And is blackface always racist? And, finally, what about all the other people involved in accepting — and rewarding — Mayor Kuhn’s choice of dress? Should they not also be forced to issue a formal apology, or does setting an example for racial sensitivity and tolerance stop at city officials?

Amazing that he thought there was nothing wrong with putting on blackface.
This just goes to show that racism is going away its just being swept under the rug and hidden.
How do these guys manage to keep it so classy?
I bet you a million dollars the mayor is a jew. That jewish supremacist shows his true feelings about blacks. That how most ashkenazi jews feels about blacks, but they hide it by shifting the blame to whites. They tried to be friends to blacks by promising a better future for them during the times they dominated the civil rights movements of the 60’s especially in jewish funded NAACP. The Jewish dominated criminal organization didn’t have a black president in nearly sixty years since their inception in 1909. They use black employees within the NAACP as communist agitators. Instead criminal zionist jews have weakened the black community throughout the years by funding the CIA that ships drugs and guns to the Black and Latino communities, infiltrating the Nation of Islam and the Black Panther Party and killing Black leaders which exposes the zionist agenda towards world domination. These jewish owned record companies fund, produce and distribute degenerate Hip Hop music to those communities. Ever since slavery jews have depicted Blacks as lazy, violent, ignorant subhumans throughout the world. I don’t care what people have been telling but jews have been performing blackface for centuries. They always been their greatest oppressors. Jews dominated the African Slave Trade, but these same people censors the history books so they don’t have an opportunity to learn these facts. Then the jewish media have brainwash Blacks to have a grudge and blame the white man for racial injustice. They try to foment racial fights among their so called goyim.
Um…wow…
