Texas Students Disciplined for 'Slave Trading Game' That Auctioned Off Black Classmates – Your Black World

By Victor Omondi Texas parents are infuriated after discovering that some white students were “auctioning” and “trading” their Black classmates as slaves in an online game. The game that was played among Daniel Ninth Grade Campus students in a Snapchat group priced Black students between $1-$100. A student posted “$1 for Chris” and “would be better if his hair wasn’t so bad.” According to reports from local Aledo news sites, school officials were alerted of the game by a student. District officials sent a letter to Aledo ISD parents a few weeks after being notified. “There is no room for racism or hatred in the Aledo ISD, period. Using inappropriate, offensive, and racially charged language and conduct is completely unacceptable and is prohibited by district policy,” read the April 12 letter.

A Group Of White Students In Texas Cyberbullied Their Black Classmates

Eddie Burnett, president of the Parker County NAACP, told the Star-Telegram he learned about the situation Sunday and plans to bring it up at a school board meeting set for April 19. The school district said the students were disciplined for cyberbullying and their actions but did not specify what the discipline was. “There is no room for racism or hatred in the Aledo ISD, period,” Bohn said in the statement. “Using inappropriate, offensive and racially charged language and conduct is completely unacceptable and is prohibited by district policy.” The cyberbullying incident comes as former police officer Derek Chauvin sits on trial for the death of George Floyd. Less than 15 miles away from where that trial is being held, Daunte Wright was shot and killed last weekend by an officer who allegedly meant to use her taser and instead pulled out her gun and shot Wright.
