Bismarck Tribune – Bismarck News – NDSU investigates skit
FARGO — North Dakota State University officials are investigating after complaints about a skit in which a black-faced white student portrayed Barack Obama receiving a lap dance.Presidents of the NDSU Saddle and Sirloin Club and sorority Alpha Gamma Delta publicly apologized for the skit at an NDSU town hall meeting this week.
The skit was performed March 18, for 500 people at the Mr. NDSU Pageant, which raises money for diabetes research.
People who attended said a pageant contestant from Saddle and Sirloin dressed as a woman from the Internet video “I Got a Crush on Obama” and performed for another student who was wearing dark makeup and an afro wig.
In the background, two male students dressed as cowboys simulated anal sex while holding an Obama sign that one student ripped at the conclusion of the 30-second performance.
Malika Carter, an NDSU assistant director of multicultural student services, said students complained the skit was racially insensitive and homophobic.
That bolded stuff is kinda like Sinead with the Pope, eh? I don’t know about this one, a hard core artist would get their face tattooed black.
