Ignorance and insensitivity exists because people are used to getting away with being a-holes. Never suffer any repercussions for their actions. Well not this time!
A white racist high school male student that attends Fleming Island High School in Florida has been suspended after taking a photo of two black female classmates without their knowledge and posting it as an ad on Craigslist with the title “two slaves for sale.” He advertised the young ladies to be in “good condition” at a sale price of $470.
He should have been expelled. The school should consider the comfort level of the young ladies he attempted to humiliate once he returns to school. One of the students in the “advertisement,” Skye Fefee, was very disturbed by the racist student’s actions. It really just goes to show that there are some extremely sick people in this world. How are you so bored that would take a picture of someone and try to belittle them?
Hopefully the students at Fleming High will do a good job at making this student feel uncomfortable and ashamed of his actions. We have a bad habit, in this country, of pacifying white criminals and casually dismissing their offensive and obscene behavior. This type of behavior must stop!
