In another words,fire the teacher if he or she is white. If the teacher is black, accept explanation!
That happened in my school,it take everything serious
Came to the comments section for white excuses
Black on black crime
It seems most people in the comments here as of right now understand young people today well enough to understand what the kids were saying with that picture. Today kids tend to joke about suicide and wanting to die. "I want to die" "Thanks me too" kind of stuff that apparently these guys don't understand. Of course racism is terrible, but that picture certainly isn't about that. They should have used that picture as an opportunity to spread a message to kids about suicide prevention and mental health.
Those here who are asking “How is this racist” are themselves racist bigots!
Sure would be nice to have an explanation how it is racist. AND IF YOU CAN'T than, it's them being RACIST. To get a teacher fired and hound a bunch of kids over this is the only crime here.
My first instinct when I saw this was how sad for those who are depressed to see this.
This is definitely not racist.
Why not tackle something real like democrats are baby killing Satanists
Reported for spam/misleading
Good try CBS at keeping the Race War alive in America. After all CBS has the largest share of Black viewers
What were all the white people scared? because anybody with a brain knows that more white people were hung than black people so did some black person post a picture of a noose in order to scare white people is that what you're trying to say?
Struggling to see how this is specifically offensive to black people…
Wtf this is not racist.
This is pushing it too far
This isn't racist. It's an edgy joke pointing out student depression. Don't say that this is about Black History Month if it's been up for multiple months.
I've lived in Roosevelt Long Island.
It's 80-90% brown and black.
Who did this…
Alert: CBSN is kept afloat by a billionaire for propaganda purposes. It is not a news source.
Look at high schoolers meme for a second and you would know this isn't racist. Smh victim culture.
Liberals and their feelings.
CRYBABIES! They need to get over their victim mentality.
Oh, puleese! It's nothing more than what it sea. Teens sad their summer vacation was over. Not everything is racist. Come on, people.
Those crybabies need to get a life.
Oh CBS you're trying to bait people here with that title. It's going to hurt you.
Not enough to tie to racism. More likely a joke about suicide. Take a chill 💊. Liberal media is wanting a race riot i guess. I just glad the younger generation is not buying this garbage that the media is pushing. Fake news to shock and divide because it does nothing for race relations when you cry racism while everyone but the media can see your insanity.
BS
Well, its pretty messed up that this is toward race.. More like suicide.
For crying out loud! This could easily be part of a Halloween costume! Probably thousands sold at that time of year!
Anyone ever watch Hang 'Em High, with Clint Eastwood? Hanging/lynching was very common for horse thieves, cattle rustlers, many different crimes in the Old West…it was seen as an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY way of dispensing justice!
it's almost as if no one cared because it wasn't an issue until people wanted to make it one
FAKE NEWS RACE BAITING
Brotha need to read the Bible more often and quit reading only about giving offerings.
Ephesians 4: 31
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
Blacks have run out of things to complain about.
