Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Philadelphia high school students were seen in a social media video using racist slurs while in blackface.
A Twitter user is claiming that the students were allegedly sending these videos via Snapchat to her godsister and Black girls who attended school.
Twitter users wrote: "Let’s talk about the WHITE GIRLS @ St Hubert’s & Franklin Towne in Northeast Philly who want to send racist snapchats to my godsister and the other young black girls at the school! Since the school doesn’t want to do anything I decided to blast their faces!"
In another news, Five people have been arrested following an allegedly racially motivated attack on a school girl, including two girls aged 10 and 11.
The violent altercation happened in the middle of a street in Ashford yesterday afternoon and police were quickly called to the scene where they found a young black school girl injured. The other people arrested are a 39 year old woman, a 16 year old girl and a 43 year old man.
Due to the nature of the video circulating we are unable to post it.
A 15-year-old girl is also wanted for arrest, and is aware the police are looking for her.
The attack took place around 2.30pm yesterday near Thomas Knyvett College. The video apparently shows multiple girls kicking, punching and pulling the hair of a black girl while several adults look on.
A Change.org petition had attracted 3,200 signatures at the time of publication, and it is understood that many people have called the college to complain, with locals criticising the headteacher, Richard Beeson, for his actions on the scene.
A spokesperson for Surrey Police said: “We are aware that this incident will have caused concern among students, parents, and staff at Thomas Knyvett College, as well as the wider community.
“We would like to reassure you that an investigation is underway, five arrests have been made in connection with this incident.
“And we are working closely with Thomas Knyvett College as we investigate this matter.
“We are also aware that several videos of this distressing incident are circulating on social media.
“We ask that you do not share any videos or images of this incident, but to submit them via the link below so they can be considered as evidence in this investigation.”
