Mom Blames Black Student After Daughter Hit With Backlash Over Racist Homecoming Sign

This photo of an Olathe South student\u2019s homecoming sign has been going around social media all weekend. @kmbc\n\nIt reads: \u201cIf I was Black I would be picking cotton, but I'm White so I'm picking you for HOCO.\u201d\n\nAt 9 & 10 we\u2019ll hear from a parent and an aunt\u2014who are both outraged.pic.twitter.com/lkBDleogyC

"Caught up in the excitement of being asked to her first ever homecoming, our daughter held the sign that was given to her. It was only after actually comprehending the situation, that she realized what was happening. She blatantly said no!! By then, it was too late.\u201dpic.twitter.com/Jp7zW3pUT6

Someone else wrote it but she's holding the marker. Nice try.

If a black student wrote it, why would it say "if I was black" calling BS

First, she needs to learn to write properly , second she needs to study CRT

@windholz_rhonda please educate yourself and your children. It's NOT "All Lives Matter", it's Black Lives Matter and until they do we don't have "ALL".

This is why some parents and most Republicans do not want Critical Race Theory taught in their schools. It would show students that the racism they display and expressed is taught at home and passed from gen to gen.

Wow really but we supposed to be in 2021 but if a black person did that then put some white hats and ropes, we would be looking at jail time dam near

Actually \u201cSarah\u201d, IF you were Black, you would\u2019ve been able to come up with an idea so original and dope that every dude at your school, no matter their skin color would clawing tooth and nail to be your date. But\u2026 you\u2019re not\u2026. And here we are\u2026. #UnrecyclableTrashhttps://twitter.com/jacksonKMBC9/status/1442295450795601921\u00a0\u2026

Digusting. This is a reflection of their classless, racist upbringing. If the kids act like this imagine how the parents act. Im beyond disgusted by their behavior. They better get expelled and no homecominghttps://twitter.com/jacksonKMBC9/status/1442295450795601921\u00a0\u2026
