City employees caught a racist rant on tape live streamed at the damn graduation. All right, here we go. Put it up for mass. We got the story for you. [00:00:19] Relatives and friends of the Lynnfield High School, class of 2025, who tuned into the small Massachusetts town. Live stream of graduation ceremonies. Overheard some. [00:00:38] Well, let's call it outdated commentary over live mic last Friday. So, unnamed city employees who were apparently setting up chairs on the football field were recorded saying, quote, inappropriate and racist remarks, [00:00:59] according to the town officials. The video appears to capture footage of workers setting up chairs on the football field. Okay. Black folks cannot be harming you right now, sir. [00:01:15] There is nothing that a black individual is doing to you while you're setting up these chairs. But clearly. Reports came in, where they were heard using at least two racist terms, [00:01:32] including the N-word. Quote. Yeah, I heard you're a racist. Blank, too. End quote. One man said in the video obtained by Wsee-tv. The response. Yeah, said a second man. The first man then responded, quote, it's the black man keeping us down. [00:01:52] End quote. The second man responded, quote, yeah, I hate blank and blank. Let me tell you this, man, I'm very happy you all have figured out how to connect and share your deep personal feelings. [00:02:09] But you have just said that the black man is keeping you down. And you found someone who agrees with you immediately [00:02:24] that the black man is keeping you down. I guarantee you, sir, if you have a wife and you ask her, you say he's a black man keeping me down. I guarantee your wife will not say yes. [00:02:40] Alright, so put it up, man. There's more to this story. They didn't say this on Fox News. They're not gaslighting. They believe this. All right. That's the irony of it. So the comments were immediately reported, to the town leaders, including the [00:02:59] superintendent and the chief of police. Dolan said he learned of the incident around 7 p.m. Friday. It's unclear how many employees were involved or what position they held. The city officials insisted all the offenders have been identified. They are now on administrative leave, awaiting the outcome [00:03:16] of an internal investigation of the video and other evidence that may surface. Jamie Hayman, a member of the Lindfield School Committee, said he felt, quote, personal outrage and deep disappointment over the incident. [00:03:32] Quote, we can't ignore the fact that this incident took place at a school event and students were watching. End quote. Hayman wrote on Facebook quote. By now, hundreds of Lindfield public School students have heard these words. [00:03:48] And just importantly, just as importantly, they are now watching what we do next. If we treat this only as a personnel issue, we miss a critical opportunity to lead growth and to teach. Listen, I concur. [00:04:05] It seems like your city officials are trying to minimize this. Okay, so I need one of the students or somebody to send me the whole recording. The whole thing. All right. Also, the individuals involved should have been immediately publicly identified. [00:04:24] They have no right to privacy. They work for government. They don't work for a private corporation. You have a right to know who you're paying to be racist and to oppress you. Alright, Jackson, thoughts here? I mean, they got caught red handed. What are you going to do? [00:04:40] You know what I'm saying? Like, what are you going to do? You know, and and obviously this is a type of conversation that they have on a regular basis, but there's no way for them to gaslight themselves out of it. People shouldn't be okay with this. Especially, in the times we're in now. [00:04:57] But now the black man definitely ain't holding you down. From what, man? I don't know what we hold you down from. I don't know, but apparently he just got a try a little bit. Now, I remember back in the day, I didn't used to have to try it all. Now I gotta try it. It's just. [00:05:12] I guess that's what it is. But, hey, you know, Yeah. You got caught with your hand in the cookie jar, man. What you going to do? You got caught with your pants down. I mean, Trump is in the white House. [00:05:28] That's all I. Got, right?
