Racist Monkey LeBron James Art Exhibit Displayed Proudly at School Art Show

LeBron James has often been the target of racist attacks from fans and media alike.

Unsurprisingly, this racist exhibit was displayed at a school’s art show. It would have never been an issue until someone called it out as it had been on display several times before it was finally flagged.  TMZ Sports has the details.

Racist LeBron James Poster Was Displayed At School Arts Show - The Spun

The project — a parody of a cereal advertisement called “Monkey Premium” — was done by a New Hartford Central School District student in New York … and then showed off in a school gymnasium at the New Hartford Festival of the Arts event on Saturday.

It had a headline of “Eat Monkeys, Jump Like Monkeys!” … with a picture of James mid-flight in his Lakers uniform next to a bowl of cereal.

Some of the text on the board promised that a consumer of the food — which was shaped like monkeys and bananas — would “jump 2-5 inches higher for about 2 hours” after eating it.

As you’d expect, it was met with a ton of outrage given its obvious nods to racist tropes … and on Monday, Superintendent of Schools Cosimo Tangorra Jr. said in a statement to parents in the community that officials are looking into the matter.

This is America.
