White Student Breaks Black Girl's Nose After Calling Her N-Word
White Student Breaks Black Girl's Nose After Calling Her N-Word
- 9 minutes
There's all kinds of confrontations
that are going on a divide.
People like to say racism's always there,
but to be so
loud with it is perhaps another matter.
White student calls a black student
the N word and then says, you know what,
[00:00:15]
that's not good enough.
Breaks her nose.
Let's get into this one, according to the
Kansas City Defender in Shawnee Mission,
Kansas, a shocking hate crime
occurred at the predominantly white
Shawnee Mission East High School,
where black female student was viciously
attacked by a white male student.
[00:00:33]
Assault has left her hospitalized
with a broken nose and
had insult injury Bre, the victim.
Now faces suspension from the school for
five days.
The KCD does note the assailant has also
been suspended well said the N word and
[00:00:49]
broke her nose.
Why go out of your way
both teams played hard.
Nothing to see here except
she's in the hospital.
How did we get here?
Some people don't wanna talk about how do
we get here when they don't like where
[00:01:04]
it's gonna end up?
I noticed these things,
the incident unfolded last week when
Bre nonviolently confronted a white
female student for using racial slurs and
calling black students slaves.
After their argument,
the white female student walked away, and
[00:01:21]
it seemed the students were
peacefully parting ways.
We're good, right?
However, as they were walking away,
a male student, previously uninvolved,
aggressively shouts for
Bre to shut the F up.
Numerous student witnesses appear
surprised and appalled, and
[00:01:39]
Bre responds by asking, what did he say?
Male student then charges towards Bree
while repeatedly hurling the N word.
Kansas City Defender with the details,
there okay, tough guy,
very tough and angry.
[00:01:54]
When he gets to her saw that picture.
Pushes her down both
start throwing punches.
The altercation elevated into a full
on fight till some students called for
adult support.
Witnesses say the boy,
a sophomore, started the fight,
[00:02:10]
throwing the first blow
at his 2026 classmate.
As far as Shawnee Mission East has not
directly addressed the hate crime or
explicitly doused it.
Following is an excerpt of
an email sent out to parents.
Quote as a school in a community, we know
that in order for students to learn,
[00:02:26]
they must first feel safe and supported.
Staff will continue to do our absolute
best to help every student who enters our
school feel safe and supported.
The words we use matter.
Racially charged language, insults and
slurs will not be tolerated in our school.
[00:02:43]
I believe I can make killing as a PR
person what are you saying here?
It is tolerated.
Why are you doing this?
Again and again, day after day?
The response from Shawnee Mission East's
administrators has been met with
[00:03:02]
widespread criticism
from the student body.
Many accuse the school officials of
failing to address the systemic racism
within their halls and also for not
directly addressing the recent hate crime.
Incident at Shawnee Mission East is not
an isolated one students poured a history
[00:03:19]
of racism at the school,
often overlooked swept under the rug
downplayed by the administration.
They recount experiences of
being racially profiled and
dismissed by school officials, with
one student recalling Principal Peres'
racist remarks about black
students appearing intimidating or
[00:03:36]
looking like you're going to jump
somebody when they are in groups.
In response to what they see
as administrative apathy,
students have taken matters
into their own hands.
A walkout was organized to protest
the school's handling of racial issues.
[00:03:51]
Students' demands, they're clear
stricter policies against racism,
the expulsion of the attacker,
justice for Bre, and
potentially firing
numerous administrators.
As the Shawnee Mission East community
grapples with this incident,
[00:04:07]
the students' actions highlight a growing
impatience with systemic racism and
the urgent need for change in how schools
address these deeply ingrained issues.
Additionally, the district is being
very tight lipped about its response to
the fight and the walkout,
citing the school's privacy policies as
[00:04:25]
the reason its disciplinary
actions have not been disclosed.
However, district
spokeswoman Kristen Babcock,
who said the schools do not have a code
of conduct for students in place, said
that her team takes incidents of racism
and physical violence very seriously.
[00:04:42]
She also said,
they will follow our policies and
procedures while investigating.
Did Babcott write the statement?
Did she write the statement?
[00:04:58]
We don't have a code of conduct for
students, so anything goes.
Should be a lawsuit but maybe they get
off because what code did he violate?
None, perhaps.
Woznie I am so
done with the statements and
[00:05:14]
that they're out of I had a fortune
cookie somewhere here, and
I was gonna open it today because
I believe that perhaps if it's
a good one and then I take a little bite
of the cookie, that's my little thing.
And I feel like that's gonna
if it's something good and
maybe I'll win the lottery,
these numbers, whatever.
[00:05:31]
This is ridiculous is, it not ridiculous?
And I don't even know why I brought up a
fortune cookie or what the point was, but
I know this words matter.
>> Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you wanted the
fortune of our country as it pertains to
[00:05:46]
race, to be changed perhaps by
the note in your cookie, but
I think it's gonna take a little bit
more than a delicious dessert to
get things going in the right direction.
It's gonna take some leadership.
And just from that statement,
we can tell there's no code of conduct for
[00:06:05]
your students, then there's no leadership.
There's no standards set.
There's no accountability to be upheld.
It's just straight up a free for all.
And to hear a young man,
a young student do that to me,
that's grooming, that's breeding,
that's being raised to
[00:06:24]
view your fellow citizens a certain
type of way, and to also be so
violent towards your fellow citizen,
a woman, a young woman at that, is scary.
You wonder what the parents
are doing there.
And it's obvious that the students,
[00:06:40]
a certain amount of students don't
feel supported in what they do.
I feel heartened, though, that this
student is being supported by her peers.
The idea that students themselves put
a walk out together in solidarity
with the victim here,
I find that to be very heartening, again,
[00:07:00]
at least one positive to take away
from this ugly ass story where this
dude is being essentially a KKK
member at his freaking high school.
And a lot of people don't know this, but
Kansas City has a very difficult
history surrounding race.
[00:07:16]
A lot of people don't know that.
They tend to think of cities in
Mississippi and Arkansas and Alabama, but
there's a lot of places throughout
the Midwest that have difficult racial
histories.
Not saying it's as bad as it's ever
been these days, but the roots are.
[00:07:32]
So I'm not surprised that
the administration has been caught wrong
footed and isn't being proactive and
doesn't know how to handle this right now.
I'm not surprised by this.
But again, I wanna reiterate
that it's nice to see that
the young people are being
the most conscientious here.
[00:07:51]
That's really cool and positive to see.
>> Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with
you more, and I think you're right.
And perhaps in this case,
Mr Positivity, there will be change.
But I also think you're
right about this young man.
Remember what the description is,
everything was kind of dissipated.
[00:08:07]
It broke up, and yet
he wanted to be a racist hero.
>> Speaker 1: Just angry,
just foaming at the mouth.
>> Speaker 1: And then the n word,
n word, n word, n word, okay.
Remember Dr Laura?
Didn't that get her off the air?
There it goes again, focus.
[00:08:24]
You're probably too young.
Remember Dr Laura?
But I believe she just kept saying
the N word, N word, N word.
Crack team, they'll figure it out.
>> Speaker 2: Richards from Seinfeld,
I remember his.
>> Did it, too, remember that?
Where he is?
>> Speaker 2: Comedy Store, yeah.
>> That part, they're still getting paid,
I'm sure, though.
[00:08:41]
>> Speaker 2: Great show still.
>> Speaker 1: Great show,
right, me, too, what?
They had the one black lady on there.
It's New York City, come on.
That's the only gripe I have.
This is New York City, this isn't really.
>> But we know white people even in
New York City don't hang out with us.
[00:08:56]
>> Okay?
>> Speaker 2: They'd like to keep it you
know what I mean?
They like to keep it nice and
white and right, come on, now.
>> Speaker 1: Okay.
