video went viral, PCPS said it has 'been made aware of a video of a teacher singing to an elementary school student and his classmates'.

'This is now being reviewed by district staff and our HR department. We understand and share the concerns about the teacher's actions and judgement.

They are jealous of us because they know that black people can become a white person by any means like Michael Jackson did but they cannot become black.

Black people look down on themselves ethnically and religiously.

White people see themselves equally ethnically and most times religiously.

The differences are very clear.

The Boy is far more handsome than a whole lot of them. His skin still remains the envy of 95% Whites in Diaspora.
That Boy at 50 would be looking 35 meanwhile his white counterpart at 50 would be looking like a macerated potato

you’re putting too much premium on “white people’s respect” like it’s some magical currency. There’s nothing special about it. Whether they respect us or not doesn’t feed us, build our schools, fix our roads, or improve our lives. Their opinion doesn’t add or subtract from our value as human beings. What matters is how we build ourselves, our communities, and our systems. If we keep stressing over what outsiders think of us, we’ll keep chasing shadows instead of focusing on real progress. White people are not special; their respect is not the prize our development is.
U are delusional if u don't agree with whatever poster posted .... its like the poor demanding respect and privilege from the rich ... the black race is last when it comes to the hierarchy of races ... Asians had to pull themselves up to earn that respect . Blacks are still feeling victimised, deceiving themselves ... blacks politicians are the only ones rthat enslave their people and send their loots to a white man's country

Black Americans always out there throwing race card. They are always claiming to be a victim and the boy mum is obviously looking for free money from a lawsuit. I don't know why they cut the first part of the video where they sang the normal birthday song. Then this other second silly version that even parents sing to their kids in America. This is a popular birthday song for kids if you grow up in America you will know the song.

The teacher was just kind of tone deaf, America is such in a sensitive era right now when it comes to racism and she shouldn't sing the song cos it will appear as racism while it's obviously not one.
shut up

A video of a white teacher singing a “monkey” birthday song to a six-year-old Black pupil has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many describing the act as racist and demeaning.

The incident, which reportedly occurred during a classroom birthday celebration, shows the teacher leading a chant that repeatedly referred to the child as a “monkey.” The footage quickly went viral, prompting condemnation from parents, activists, and online communities who argue that the act reinforces racial stereotypes.

Civil rights advocates have called for disciplinary action against the teacher, stressing that such behavior has no place in schools and can cause lasting emotional harm to young children.

School authorities say they are aware of the incident and have launched an investigation. Meanwhile, the video continues to circulate online, fueling heated debates about racism, cultural sensitivity, and accountability in education.

Why won't they call us monkeys when we can't even refine our oil and solve common problems like good roads and food supply chain.. look at our electoral system.. Look at the state of the country.. After many year of independence.

The day the black man finds his place in the scheme of things, he will begin to earn global respect. Then, you will see the same white folks who made nonsense of the black skin adore it.
not true. Asians , by all standards have measured up and even surpassed the whites in certain science/ technological areas but the whites still look down on them.

AZControversial:
undecided

And this is why racism can't end.....

The white children will pick this up and the cycle continues.....

Except if there is an intent of physical harm, I just view racist rants as a disorder on their own part...... Because that's what it is.

A DISORDER!!!
the same with tribalism, is a disorder.

Omo, no Yoruba or Igbo or hausa, or south Africans, or Malawis. If they see a dark skinned person, they relegate them to the level of an animal. They've forgotten that their Bible actually said they were made from dust, which is even lower than a monkey. This is why I don't go to church

She is the only black kid in that class but subjecting a child to that kind of racist song in 2025 can never be allowed in our society.

She has to be pun!shed for this.
Too bad! There are other Black kids/pupils in that class, though, and I think that even makes it worse. The racist teacher should be punished appropriately.

Why is the teachers face not visible, so will can see how she herself looks.
The teacher is the one who shot the video.

Might actually have been just a harmless song that the kid enjoys, but in today's world, the teacher should have known Better that this is a cultural sensitive issue. Zero emotional intelligence here.
Re: White Teacher’s “monkey” Birthday Song To Black Pupil Sparks Outrage (video) by dotedote: 10:41pm On Oct 03, 2025
Depending on the motive behind it. I've had a white colleague call out a white kid a monkey (in a very friendly way) and everyone laughed it off. The teacher though, should have been more sensitive sending that a coloured kid's way.
Though it's understandable the mother's feeling bad about this, she shouldn't be saying stuff like "he's traumatised for life" "he's going to get counselling"
Come On! What kinda generation are we raising?

Look we have to face the truth here.
All societies have different ways they were formed.
White man is NOT 1 person.
There's many societies we call as White Man.
The easiest one to understand is USA because that happened in the last 400 years.
The simple and SOLE mission of Whitemen in US was to escape from TAX and authoritarian rule in Europe/UK.
So they all had SIMILAR purpose and goal in USA... Kill all the native americans and establish their society based on
capital economics and democracy... NO MORE KING/QUEEN. Just hustle and survice.
Everybody carry gun for protect yourselves.
-
That's how their nation works. And they are patriotic to it.
-
Our own Nigeria is 2000% different.
Till this very second, EVERYBODY here In Nigeria HAS STILL NOT AGREED to form this Nation Nigeria.
It is VERY CLEAR from Eastern people that they want OUT.
It is very clear from Northern Muslim people that they want OUT.
Then the rest of minority tribes are just IGNORED, OVERLOOKED as NONSENSE....? While the oil is in Niger Delta...
Niger Delta people will just BURN ALL the pipe and say "F**k you" to everybody...
We don't have nation. Just forceful collection of people using one Naira currency
That's why things are not working.

God bless you .. succinct..I don't understand why people seeks validation from other people with other skin colors...it bewilders me to be honest and it's blacks always doing that...let's improve ourselves and stop seeking any for of repatriation or validation from others .

Why should a school kid be bringing political materials to school?
The same state that politicians go to schools and share merchandise with their pictures, party logos largely and boldly written on them.

I read a comment on Facebook in which a white lady said it's a song that is sung to children generally in USA and it was sung to her when she was a child
