[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 white kids on the baseball team took a consentual video of a black student, then posted the video online but edited it with a racist song about slavery. Disgusting. [/quote]

The song they used is a very popular TikTok song.
It is unlikely the kids were thinking about the meaning of the song or making the connection to slavery.

Well, if it's on TikTok, it must be okay.  :roll:  "It's origins are a racist tune that utilises awful, racist stereotypes about Black people, who were enslaved in America when it was initially written."[/quote]

Why hasn’t anyone named the song?[/quote]

Um if this is serious I’m gonna go with these kids had no clue…[/quote]

Jesus. People will find ways to excuse white kids for anything.[/quote]

well, here is a clueless adult then. as an excuse, I did not grow up in the US and moved here as an adult. I heard this song (if this is the song ) before, thought it was a funny country tune for dancing, i actually understood "where did you come from, Katmandu" so there's that.  I have never heard this song discussed as a racist song so I am not totally sure kids would be aware. I dont'  have kids at Walls, i have no idea what happened there, I have not seeing the video and if the kids walked out  there must be a reason. however, saying that whoever uses this song on a video must be  racist and aware of the history of the song  is a little of a stretch[/quote]
