The ignorant students now await their punishment.
Racists think they can perform their hateful antics with no consequence so they continue to flaunt their ignorance.
The latest incident took place in Illinois this past Friday evening in the third quarter of a football game between Homewood-Flossmoor High School and Lincoln-Way East.
During the former’s homecoming, a 10-year anniversary for the class of 2016, students from the latter were caught on camera making monkey noises and mimicking monkey movements toward the Black fans and alums.
The video drew immediate reactions from both schools.
“We would like to sincerely apologize to the HF community for the behavior displayed by these students,” wrote Lincoln-Way administrators in a statement. “We have identified the students involved and will follow through with the district’s discipline policies and procedures to the fullest extent.”
While the school said the five students involved in the incident aren’t members of the football team and they were immediately removed from the property, it doesn’t diminish the impact or intent of their actions.
“They were making monkey sounds, and they were flapping their arms like monkeys, and they were crawling like monkeys,” said parent Vicky Carter to ABC7 News Chicago. “It was very disturbing to my children.”
