We read:
"A YouTube video that shows a white comedian 'blacking up' before interviewing students at a Mormon university campus about their knowledge of Black History Month has sparked accusations of racism.
Critics have said students at Brigham Young University - where just 176 of the 30,000 students are African American - show startling ignorance and perpetuate negative stereotypes of black people.
And stand-up comic Dave Ackerman has come under fire himself for painting his skin at the start of the four minute video - an archaic and racially-offensive theatre technique.
In the video, most of the students are unable to identify February as Black History Month.
When asked to list black people of historical note, they name actors Samuel L. Jackson and Will Smith. Others mention Malcolm X - but do not know why he is famous - and 'the lady on the bus'.
One student says he celebrates the month with 'fried chicken and grape juice', while another tells Ackerman that, when it comes to dating, he knows some people with 'jungle fever'.

If the questionee does not the topic I can understand their ignorance. But, other topics can get the same resopnse from todays system educated youth. I have seen videos of Jay Leno asking various questions and getting nonsensical answers. To me, this reporter has demostrated nothing.
Most of the claims about Black History Month and lies and fruadulent
Maybe they could work out a deal with the lawyers. Maybe change it to the Fighting Sue and have a lawyer with a briefcase as a mascot!

Did they also cherry pick the most clueless? Trust me, I have run across some really dumb college students before and could come up with a montage of some really idiotic and surreal answers.
Black history month came about in the same way as the "holiday" of Kwanza. Both are intended to appease (i.e. anesthetize) that 12% of the population that the Left pretends to care about.
If blacks were truly able to think for themselves, they would realize that thanks to the enablers (and manipulators) of the Left, there is far more slavery today than at any time in the old South. The difference is that today, it's not called slavery, it's called, entitlements.
Anon 7:58, being educated and being smart are two very different things. The average college grad is living proof.
You are sooooo right Levy
@Anon 6:13... ROFL... probably
Some old cartoons like INKY and the MYNAHBIRD are consitred offensive to the blacks like LITTLE BLACK SAMBO is
It is really lovely that racists congregate here on this blog. Such a sense of community.
