Racism from Landon students

[Anonymous]

This video of a large group of Landon students on the metro singing loudly to a song that includes the N word been circulating on social media. So far, no one at Landon has responded to this disgrace. I wish I could say I'm surprised, but that would be a lie. Disgusting.

I listened to the video and couldn't understand a word of what they were singing.

Were the students singing the words as performed by the artist? (verbatim?)

I heard some students were also quoting passages from Huckleberry Finn.

The song is Freestyle by Lil Baby- the portion of the lyrics this catches are:

All of my n***** on go
None of my n***** no ho
All of my n***** want smoke

Ew. Ignorant rich white boys in a mob. Too many of them to expell. Probably they will Just get a lecture about how everything is caught on camera these days blah, blah, blah

Loud singing on the Metro is boorish behavior even if they were singing Raffi.

Not surprised at all if Landon just ignores it. I have friends who were faculty at Landon and left in recent years. They said the school climate is extremely toxic and there's no interest in changing anything.

Indeed. Other schools in the area have added a "No singing popular songs in public" to their student handbook to help combat this.

Agreed. The whole N word thing is just an idiotic part of our culture.
If you listen to popular music as a young person you hear it 100 times a day. But god forbid you sing along. Then you're a racist.
We need to just retire it.

And once again, the term “racism” has clearly lost all meaning. Apparently you can apply it to literally any situation you want.

SMH, dang cancel culture coming for our innocent boys just causally slinging racist terms around. Next thing you know they won’t even be able to date rape without it impacting their college admissions.

Racist is the person who sang/ produced/ distributed/ promoted such garbage.

Don't blame teens for singing a popular song, especially because of their skin color, you racist.
