MINNEAPOLIS — A Black student at a predominantly white high school outside of Minneapolis has filed a federal class action lawsuit against her school for supporting an annual “****** day” celebration.

Quera Pruitt, who attends Red Wing High School, claims that the school was indifferent to the harm this day did to their Black student base.

“****** is a pejorative slang term for a white person who emulates the mannerisms, language and fashions associated with African-American culture,” the complaint states.

Court House News reports:

“The students who participated in ****** or Wangsta day wore clothes that, from their perspective, mimicked Black culture. These costumes included oversized sports jerseys, low-slung pants, baseball hats cocked to the side and ‘doo rags’ on their heads. Some of the students displayed gang signs.

“Principal Borgen was aware that the Wednesday of Homecoming Week had historically been referred to among the students as ‘Wednesday ****** Day.’

“Indeed, September 30, 2009, was not the first time the students at Red Wing High School held ****** or Wangsta Day. School officials acknowledge that ‘Wednesday ****** Day’ had occurred in at least the ‘last couple of years’ prior to September 30, 2009

While it doesn't bother me, you gotta use your head a little? Who's running that joint? At least don't name it ******.

This is the problem with the Triggerhappy's of the world. They never understand when things are for fun and when things are real. They're so overly sensitive with their head up their ass when it comes to themselves to the point where they're blinded by things around them.

Of course a bonafide snitch like Trig don't see it.

really ? They really thought it was wise to call it ****** day?

for fun or not it prolongs a negative sterotype of african americans, and when you sterotype some one because of their skin color your being racist.

let them wear what they want, but as soon as people start calling it whigger wednesday or any other term that confirms a corralation between their way of dress and african americans, the school needs to start suspending those people.

in that the school has done nothing about it, for what appears to be the second year in a row this is case of clear negligence.

Even calling it any other name, a day where White people mimmick black people is still insulting in a racist way.
