ST. LOUIS -- A video of 4-year-old London James in tears has nearly eight million views on Facebook. The child is crying on camera saying a girl doesn't want to be her friend because she's black.
Tomeka Merriweather says she recorded the video of her daughter on Thursday, December 4th, after she picked her up from Kidsplay.
Kidsplay is a preschool and daycare facility in Manchester. Merriweather says she recorded the video to show the teachers that she wasn't making this up. She says at least three teachers at the daycare saw the video.
"One of the teachers told me they observed the little girl playing and they asked her about London she told me the same thing, that she didn't like her because she was black and that when they told me they were going to talk to her father," said Jaimie Simms, executive director of the Kidsplay locations in Manchester and O'Fallon. Simms says this incident is not a reflection of the daycare.

Preferences must be stamped out.
Waiting for the answer video in which the other kid says “It’s not because your black, it’s because you’re a whiny little snot-nosed idiot”.
This whole thing is getting ridiculous, there are blacks and there are whites. Deal with it!
This is a VILE DISGUSTING RACE-BAITING SETUP!
I dont believe a damn word of it.
Well, I guess that 4-year-old London James is now justified if she later pours lighter fluid over a white child and burns her alive.
Maybe the other kid has been watching the news and has former his/her opinion from that. Lacking any other perspective what would you expect? lol
If that happens, you know they will defend it.
And I’m discriminated against by women who are ageist and into body shape bias.
I hear you.
Well, it could be, but it doesn’t sound far-fetched to me at all. Kids are not politically correct until they are indoctrinated with it. They don’t have a filter when they talk, and they do notice people that look different and they do have an instinct to avoid those people. I know my parents never taught me that, but that is how I felt around pre-school/kindergarten age.
Expect a visit from child protective services to take the other girl away from her parents.
Well it is now, no matter what you do, it will always be, expect there to be lie ins and die ins, unless you change it to Black Kids Daycare, oh wait that won't work either that's racist, you are so screwed.
Benjamin Crump is on line one!
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, this is something that just started since the T. Martin travesty.
Kids of all ages, sexes, races, religions have ALWAYS gotten along.
No kid EVER made fun of a kid because he was fat, skinny, big ears, deformed ears, couldn’t play sports, was a lousy kisser, had a crappy big brother/sister.
I am sure Tamika named her daughter Jane or Audrey or Mary so as to not bring attention to her...WAIT...A name like that on a child is a stigma of something she isn’t so we will call her Shanananawindo.
When she leaves the house every morning she is warned that the White teacher is out to get her, the White students are all rich and have things she doesn’t.
Of course when Mama or one of the possible 3 daddys (all who ‘love’ her but can’t bring themselves to take responsibility and help with finances - BUT the more money they send the less money comes in the free money pack and she may have to pay more rent).
All this is purveyed into the 4 yo ‘mind full of mush’ while watching a 72 inch TV and being dropped off in an Escalade while Jaynes father drops her off in a 10 year old compact.
Chris Rock once had a routine that had his father taking him to Wall Street and watching all the men in suits scurrying to work..with ‘Dad’ telling him to make sure he did all he could to ensure these guys/gals were going to work, don’t harass Delivery People, and ANYONE with a JOB from missing a days work as the money from the taxes these people pay help keep US going....
My former ‘sympathy - (real or imagined)’ for ‘these people’ is steadily going South and turning into real apathy.
On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being 100% true and 1 being 100% false, I'll rate this as negative 1,000,000,000 times 10 to the 137 power.
Maybe Kidsplay has a Caucasian Caucus, similar to the blacks in congress.
If it is true she said it because the kids parents told her that.
This is ridiculous....the kid probably has Cooties!
