A black disc jockey falsely accused of wearing blackface to a school charity dance in Arizona said he first thought it was a joke, but he’s not laughing over the negative publicity.

“Me being a black person, I know the reality of blackface. I’m not going to say I thought it was funny. I don’t want to feel any negative energy,” DJ Kim Koko Hunter of Phoenix told The Epoch Times.
