Here's a video showing a group of white teenage boys singing a vulgar, misogynistic rap song that includes plenty of n-words. So what else is new? Well, these kids reportedly attend the prestigious Stuyvesant High School, and it seems the song is not only their own creation, but it allegedly targets a black classmate with such lines as:
You some whack bitch chillin' in the projects. Mothers jump to fathers like Frogger… Stereotypical black yeah she's kinda loud, but when it's black American day she's not proud I know that you come from the whack town, kinda rich, your try and act too black but your just a white [expletive] in the inside... You black and you so f--- grimy. What'cha gonna do? Call your black squad n----?
The song, which also contains anti-Semitic lyrics for good measure, came to light after former Stuyvesant student Alexis Marie Wint noticed it on Facebook. She insists the young men are students at the school, and says she is acquainted with the young woman they're singing about. On her Tumblr, Wint says, "I wrote a letter to the principal of this school, Stanley Teitel, asking that these boys be reprimanded and he refused to disclose any information to me in terms of how this situation would be dealt with." Wint adds, "I left Stuyvesant my junior year because I couldn’t take the racist bullshit any more" She's now a sophomore at Bard.
Stuyvesant officials have thus far refused to comment, but an Education Department spokesperson confirms the agency has launched an investigation. It has not, however, been officially confirmed that the teens attend Stuyvesant.
