Teens Post Video On What They Would Do To Black People As President (VIDEO)

By Randa Morris on June 5, 2016 10:44 am ·

In a video uploaded to Facebook earlier this week, a group of students from Grosse Pointe, Michigan can be heard talking about what they would do to Black people if they were president.

As reported by New York Daily News the students recorded the video over Memorial Day weekend.

In the video a male student can be heard talking about his hatred for Black people, calling them “f—–g stupid” and worthless.” The student goes on to say, “they need to leave our country, send ‘em back to Africa, or the slaves, one of the two options.”

Another student asks, “So what are you going to do in 2040,” referring to the year he’ll become president of the United States.

The first student replies, “Oh, segregate. They get Maine, North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming…”

Another student asks, “How are they going to be treated?”

“Awful,” he responds, saying, “they’re going to be owned by white people, and white people are going to be the dominants of the country.”

Another student says “We’re gonna burn them on stakes.”

1. This is VERY disturbing.

And unacceptable. Even more disturbing is that it is not the only incident of its kind.

This from the link:

It’s not hard to trace the inspiration for the hateful ideas expressed by these students.

When Donald Trump is the republican party’s current frontrunner in the presidential primary, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone to hear young people talking about the vile things they would do if they became president.

Grosse Pointe, a suburb of Detroit, has never been lacking in racist role models for students to emulate, either. In 2013, more than a dozen videos were released showing Grosse Pointe police officers telling Black men to sing, dance and ‘walk like a chimp,’ for the camera.

These students have been influenced by republican politicians like L Brooks Patterson.

2. this article points to politicians

but I am going to guess they come from homes and a community where this is the mentality.
In my day it was George Wallace and no one I knew was swayed by his bellicose bigotry but those who were racist to begin with reveled in his hatred. (BTW - I believe trump is of the same ilk as Wallace)
What such politicians can do is give "permission" to the ignorant to express themselves openly.

Since they are having fun creating a hostile environment at school, I hope they are suspended.

3. Racism, conservatism, privilege and religion...

Walking hand in hand. Grossed Pointe makes a Gross Point - why is this still accepted in 2016?

Racism, conservatism, privilege and religion walking hand in hand - that's why.

4. Bet their parents feign shock at their little darlings.

Sick fucks.

5. Grosse Pointe, huh?

Can't say I'm surprised.

6. The article blames politicians

I blame the parents.

Trump and this Brooks guy are the symptom of the disease. They aren't the disease itself.

[brer cat]

8. I blame the parents also.

Racism and bigotry are learned and that starts in the home. The children/teens who do such vile things do so knowing there will be no censure from their parents. It is also the parents who vote for people like Trump and Brooks, seeking out politicians who reflect the same values they pass on to their children.

7. When I hear things like this...

... I wonder if there is any hope for this country. There doesn't seem to be any way to
breed hate and bigotry out of people.

9. and Patterson wants to build a wall around Detroit .....

not realizing that one was built many years ago.

DETROIT (AP) — When Eva Nelson-McClendon first moved to Detroit's Birwood Street in 1959, she didn't know much about the wall across the street. At 6 feet tall and a foot thick, it wasn't so imposing, running as it did between houses on her street and one over. Then she started to hear the talk.

Neighbors told her the wall was built two decades earlier with a simple aim: to separate homes planned for middle-class whites from blacks who had already built small houses or owned land with plans to build.

"That was the division line," Nelson-McClendon, now, 79, says from the kitchen of her tidy, one-story home on the city's northwest side. "Blacks lived on this side, whites was living on the other side. ... That was the way it was."

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/01/detroit-race-wall/2127165/

Grosse Pointe is the old money section of Detroit .... and still 92% white.

I somewhat amazed that this type of thinking is going on anywhere in Detroit. I was a suburbs kid, from Huntington Woods and Royal Oak, and much later, my parents moved to Birmingham.

Some of the suburbs are very integrated now. They weren't at all when I was young.

Here is a picture of the wall, soon after it was built in 1941. It was only about a half mile long, but the segregated concept remained, with the dividing line being 8 Mile Road.

10. trumpchumps

with the intelligence of insects and I'm truly sorry for insulting insects. This is one example of hundreds that are driving me to leave this country, in November after I cast my last vote for anyone. I am so sick of these type of people feeling that they are superior to anyone. Well they are the underbelly dwellers of the sewers of amerikkka. And they are legion.

11. Grosse Pointe.

Rich White and Privileged.

They make me sick.

[MrScorpio]

12. Well, considering what's going on in GD right now, it's just not Grossey Pointey nt

[JustAnotherGen]

13. God - really?

I'm just seeing the Trump stuff but no one who is pushing for him.

[MrScorpio]

14. Actually, it's in a thread about Orlando

Some folks have a hard time processing different concepts than they're used to.

15. Grosse Pointe...

Yeah, crossing into GP from Detroit and seeing a one way roundabout barrier put up basically just to keep us out (or keep a better eye as we enter/exit), along with a snow bank and a crudely put together "barn" makes not very surprised. As ethnically diverse SE Michigan is, we are still very much littered with bigots and utter trash.
