LOCAL NEWS: Puerto Rican Woman removed from board of local community theatre after calling makeup racist

Seems like the liberal intolerance thing is getting a little close to home now. For what it is worth, Wyandotte, Michigan is about 10 miles to the south of me. This was in the local paper here.

Via News Herald:

Jazmyn Bencik isn’t afraid to speak up when she sees something she perceives as wrong.

That’s exactly what she did recently when she saw something she thought was insensitive against her race.

Bencik saw a member of the Southgate Community Players post a photo of himself titled “Puerto Rico Suave” on Facebook. The theater group was preparing to put on “West Side Story,” which closes this weekend.

Bencik, who at the time was a board member for the Wyandotte Community Theater, thought using white actors to portray Puerto Rican characters was wrong. She was even more offended when she found out several cast members were using spray tans to appear “brown.”

“It’s highly offensive to use excessive spray tan like that,” Bencik said. “It’s the equivalent of using yellow or black face.”

She said she commented on the photo and was nearly immediately attacked for her feelings.

“It was racially insensitive and personally offensive,” she said. “I was told that they weren’t likely to get that many Puerto Ricans to try out for a play in Southgate. Then I suggested they take into account casting difficulties in the future.”

Phillip Rauch, president of the Southgate Community Players, said Bencik’s feelings are off base.

“We don’t use black face,” he said. “We are actors putting on a show. That’s all it is. Using spray tan is nothing more than part of the costume.”

Bencik said she was willing to leave it at that, having spoken her mind. But it didn’t end there for her.

“When I went to practice for our group I was told what I had said was wrong,” she said. “I don’t understand what I did wrong. I was speaking my own opinion.”

She said members of the board told her that she shouldn’t have spoken out on the issue since she was also on the Wyandotte Community Theater board of directors.

“They told me that especially because I was the social media director that I shouldn’t have spoken out,” she said.

That night, Nov. 10, she was removed from having access to the Facebook page for her group. She said she received a letter the next morning notifying her that she was relieved of her duties with the organization.

There you have it folks, liberal intolerance at it’s finest. Jonah Goldberg was on to something:

Local Story: Dope-headed parents from Wyandotte looking at prison time

I have no children of my own, but when it comes to kids, I have zero tolerance for stuff like this here:

A Wyandotte couple accused of forcing their two young children to stand in steaming hot water for so long that the youngsters’ feet were severely burned waived their rights to a preliminary hearing on Thursday, sending their cases straight to the Wayne County Circuit Court.

Erica Anne Bohn, 24, and Brandon Edward Soules, 28, will face a separate arraignment at 9 a.m. Dec. 20 in circuit court. Both are charged with two felony counts of second-degree child abuse, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Twenty-seventh District Judge Randall Kalmbach ordered that bond be continued as previously set—$20,000/10 percent for Bohn and $30,000/10 percent for Soules.

Neither have posted bond and remain locked up in the Wayne County Jail.

Erica Anne Bohn, 25, and Brandon Edward Soules, 29 — Two dope-headed pukes who belong on death row, but will rot in a jail cell for a very long time — as they should!

People should not do drugs, that is a given; it is something I believe, sue me. People with kids, should really not do drugs and if they do; they should lose their kids, if they are caught doing the drugs. This right here, is a perfect example as to why I happen to be of that opinion.

Furthermore, this woman should be not be allowed to ever have anymore children. That’s right, I believe that this idiotic woman ought to be forced to have a hysterectomy. Cut off the breeding grounds, so this dope-headed fiend of a woman cannot breed again. Also too, force this man to be clipped too, so that he cannot be a sperm donor to anymore dope headed women.

I am normally an open-minded person, when it comes to such things. However, when it comes to children, I am the quintessential narrow-minded Luddite. You just do not do to children, what these two bastards did; and expect any sort of pity out of me, at all, period, end of story.
