Black Upland students receive racist cards from classmates, families want answers
Fox 11 Los Angeles ^ | 2/21/2023 | Cristy Fajardo

It’s a lesson in bigotry no one should have to learn as a child, but parents of several [black] sixth graders at Pepper Tree Elementary in Upland said their kids have been the targets of racial bullying. They told FOX 11 a group of five or six schoolmates handed out handwritten and hand-drawn cards calling them "my favorite monkey," or in one case a "cotton picker" and promising "the group" would be nice to them for Black History Month.

They said they want some answers. That’s the best I could come up with. The need to go check with O’Bama. He’s got all the answers too.

Might’ve been a stunt to justify the need for CRT. SEE? We still have a long way to go to end racism. We need to have yet another, ho hum serious national discussion and come to terms with our racist past and yada yada yada 💤💤💤

99% chance a staged hoax and regardless we will never see a media piece if it is a hoax. This was about getting it into to the public consciousness only.

All that matters is spreading the narrative, the truth is just an inconvenience.

If a police report hasn’t been filed, and an investigation being conducted, I’m calling hoax.

If it was Whiteys doing this, we’ll be sure to hear it. If it was Latinos, the media will imply that it’s Whiteys. If it was blacks, the story will be wiped from the face of the Earth.

Card. The parents are reacting. The MSM is reacting.

Cards-just hire a few handwriting experts. Perps will be found out I and it just might tone it down.

The parents and the MSM is not the only thing reacting.

This is the kind of thing my brothers and I say to each other. (Or should I have said “bruthas”?)

Okay, is this real or a hoax?

I don’t care anymore. Hell, I hope it’s real.

Day after day I read news stories and see videos of violent black criminals destroying lives, destroying families, destroying society and I’m supposed to be outraged because some school kids called them monkeys?

Blacks need to clean up their own house. Being called monkeys by children should be the least of their concern right now.

Isn’t it strange that blacks can put all kinds of derogatory names on white folks but someone uses the “N” word and a civil war is eminent. Do they forget a few years back many blacks called each other the the “N” word and that was OK.

Considering that “hispanics” hate blacks, and vice versa, I would posit that it is most likely young hispanics who created these “cards”, assuming it's not actually a hoax.

Hispanics are running blacks out of many places in and around Los Angeles.
