Why School Reform is Necessary (Racist Field Trip)

This week for me has been all about the viral video. Jokes are blowin' up all over the Internet, and I want to give just a few golden drops of what has been making its way, no doubt, to in-boxes everywhere. From the rent being too damn high, to the neck sprain I have suffered from whipping my head back and forth, to the auto tuned attempted rapist news report, (climbin' through your windows and snatchin' your people up...) this week for me and Youtube has been full of joy. This particular video has sprung up recently and makes me wonder what is going on with the public school system.

Now, when a teacher plans a field trip, you would think they have enough sense to check into the details of wherever they were going. You know, to find out exactly how appropriate the field trip is for their students. This didn't seem to be the case in one particular incident which this poor man suffered when his teacher took him to a cotton processing plant.

The following video may be disturbing to some, as it will have you rolling on the floor and holding your sides. Be warned that this video or field trip for that matter, is not suitable for any child. Parents hold on tight, as your eyes may widen and jaws may drop. All I'm sayin' is that politicians really might want to take peek at the status of the public school system. Do not at any time think it is ok to take a black child to a cotton processing plant and have them pick cotton. This is not a very special Roots moment, you backward thinking JOKE! You've been warned!

  1. I'm with Lawrence: Is this FOR REAL? Did this kid really go on a cotton-picking field trip??
