A Georgia high school said it is investigating how a doctored photo of Martin Luther King Jr. with the N-word in it was published in its yearbook.

The photograph of the student posing with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. while holding a sheet of paper that reads "Official N-word Pass." The student's face and the writing on the paper have been blurred by NBC News.Wing said the photo was"inappropriate and racist" and"we will take appropriate action with those involved."

"As these photos were not available​, the yearbook company replaced those pages with senior selfies that had been submitted," she said."That said, this photo was submitted by our yearbook staff and we are meeting with those involved to determine how that occurred," she said.

So when it comes out that the kid is actually not “white” this will go away. Nothing to see move along. So sorry y’all can pin this on orange man bad.

Biden needs to quit now Oh My God. Joe Biden: 'Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did.”

And they never knew, someone higher up knows the story, ...waitbawhile your door will be knocked very soon, do not get comfatable

Probably one of the students. Schools like to have students work on the yearbooks.

“This is not who we are” is apparently the “go to” language used when someone or some company or some group is exposed for having racist ideology or racism embedded in their system or community. We said “it’s not who we are so we’re all good right & we can move on right?”

It’s time for leaders, when faced with the overt racist behavior of their communities, to say “This IS who we are and this DOES represent our values and I’ve been blind to that fact but I am now ready to commit to the hard work of changing hearts and minds.”

Democrats want zero cops zero borders, zero USA

America soul poisoned with prejudice for people they brought here as slaves cheap labor. Perception of many whites cant see black people in any other way

Investigate what? Options; 1) incompetence 2) racism. Both fireable acts by the editor.

Probably printed at the back of the yearbook too. Not cool.

Number three., Wait, why am I stopping?. In the health people fight to address the climate emergency head-on and beat D onald Trump Now Listen., That kept us from going into a great depression..

Wait, I thought trump admin said there is no systemic racism

After allllll these years it’s “NOTICED” SMH UNREAL

Because Georgia...is it really that mind bending to figure out how it happened?

South Africa Afrikaner used the K word as racial slur they do not advertise that word on any context what so ever its defined as racist .... If you call a African in Africa a K word you're racist period cause the word is not advertised ... People literally get jailed

Again with the N word it shud be band but its advertised then when uses on somebody it called being racists that's just wrong advertising it in music TV the N word is now a form of slang ... If its racial slur stop advertising it period

Seems pretty funny to me. But as usual crazy people are over reacting and pretending to be offended.

White edgelords. Kids of the cops youve been seeing

Georgia not having a good week.

Это неожиданно

Wow, how did that get published? Was there anyone checking what the students were publishing? Well, then again, it is Georgia.

Haha...Oh! let's investigate!....How could this have happened?! STFU! Everyone knows exactly how it happened. Now they're just a little embarrassed. Maybe someone get's thrown under the bus, maybe not, and they move on.

Georgia? No way!

How does this even happen? I was on yearbook staff and 3-4 people are supposed to edit it after you design the page. That many people apparently failed.....SMH. Not understanding how this shit keeps happening!

Is the fact that a black person can use the N-word with impunity but others can not, not in itself discriminatory, even racist. ?

You have to be kidding me with this racist shit. Do better Georgia. For God’s sake, DO BETTER. It’s 2020. This shit shouldn’t be happening in 2020.

My money is on an activist trying to shamelessly spark debate or a dick trying to be clever

So what, 40 years back?

Why him? MLK Jr had actually fought for equality and rights for the black people and he did it alive. People are so dumb propping up dead people to make a movement.

I am so ashamed of Georgia lately that it’s hard to live here. Donald Trump and Governor Brian Kemp have emboldened the racists to come out from their hidey holes and wreak havoc. So much hate.

We are losing respect ✊ for everything, for Black People, for an older man in Buffalo, for one another by not wearing masks against the virus 🦠 for the healthcare workers in the now front lines! We can do better than this! 🇺🇸

Jesus Christ. Come on! Do better. This shit has to stop.

Of course, Georgia.

Staged for political theater, or is it possible that people are becoming even more divided and enraged since this George Floyd crap started? Well done media, mission accomplished?

It's stupidity like this that keeps our Nation from healing. American Aristocrats... fighting tyranny wherever it may be.

But the Governor of Virginia's Yearbook pictures are just fine.

NBC, seriously , when the horribly offensive words ARE the story maybe you need to NOT blur out the offensive imagery. Grow up, we all know that printing a picture with that word on it is not the same as using it.

Lmao sounds like a bullshit democratic stunt.....

What is he going to achieve ..lifetime award .. everyone is going racism crazy ..

Memes, not racism.

Yall already know who did it some evil miserable person it could be a principal and vice principal so much hate and jealousy

Memes, not racism

Even their response shows a racist intent, IMHO. The proper thing for them to do is do an EXCHANGE of yearbooks, not simply send out a 'replacement photo' to 'hide the photo' in the yearbooks already sent out.

The media is 'race' baiting continuously, it should always emphasize science and facts: Race is a social construct. As long as the media perpetuates the lie folks won't know any better. They use it to divide

Meme, not racism.

Let’s see, a yearbook editor that was in on it, a faculty advisor that didn’t double-check the work and a yearbook publisher that probably doesn’t do anything more than a text search during its screening process.

Our hope: That real repairs will be made on behalf of the American people specifically the US Government: for the racism perpetuated against African Americans both systematically, directly and indirectly condoned and authorized by said Government for over 401 years. reparations

victory

Wow it's suppose to be a joke if your not black you get the N word pass

pretty simple, since students assemble the yearbook, and pretty piss poor oversight/editing from staff to miss it if they even proof-read it

We'll find out it was Kovington Kids who did it.

Good lord 🤦🏻‍♀️

Uh huh. “We don’t know how it happened.”

Reaching for racism. Enemy of the people, media.

JFC Georgia, get your shit together.

Biden without his Caregiver More gibberish from SleepyJoe 🤣

What?

High concentration of racists in Georgia.
