Oops: Woke Diversity Activists Accuse DJ of Wearing Blackface at School Event. Turns Out the DJ Was Actually Black. (VIDEO)

A pair of woke activists in Arizona who push diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts at the Scottsdale Unified School District embarrassed themselves recently when they accused a black entertainer hired for a local school event of wearing wearing blackface.

The episode, first reported by the Arizona Daily Independent, stemmed from an April 9 fundraiser for Phoenix’s Hopi Elementary School put on by the Hopi PTA.

The PTA hired DJ Kim Koko Hunter, who is black, to play at the 1970s Disco-themed event. Attendees posted photos from the event on social media accounts, including one photo featuring Hunter in seventies garb with other eventgoers.

Two wokesters, Stuart Rhoden and Jill Lassen, who actively work to implement left-wing DEI standards at SUSD saw the image and attacked the Hopi Elementary PTA, accusing the group of hiring a DJ who was in blackface.

Rhoden, who, according to the Daily Independent, is an instructor for Arizona State University and a member of the SUSD’s Equity and Inclusion Committee, did not appreciate being called out for claiming Hunter was in blackface and complained on Facebook about parents being “all up in my DMs” over his false accusations. In fact, he even doubled down on the blackface assertions, claiming that Hunter, a black man, was actually in blackface because he allegedly appeared to be “in darker make-up,” and blasting critics for assuming he thought the DJ was a white man (while admitting that might have been his assumption, but he wasn’t about to cop to it).
