Minnesota Teen Scared to Comeback to School After Being Taunted by Fellow Student She’d Exposed for Posting a Racist Video

A Minnesota teen said earlier this week after a now-viral showed a fellow student at Prior Lake High School in Savage, Minnesota participating in racist behavior that targeted her and her sister Elizabeth Sigin.

“I’m at a loss of words for what they’ve done,” Nya Sigin said.

“It was just the most disgusting thing I’ve ever witness in my entire life,” the freshman high school student told KSTP of one of the many videos that were shared on social media, including one where the student encouraged Nya to end her life while spewing racist slurs directed at her. “I was feeling I was confused. I didn’t really know what I had done to even deserve it.”

The sisters said the incident started when a girl, who hasn’t been identified, recorded a video of herself attacking a pillow that had the N-word inscribed on it. “She beat up the pillow while calling the pillow racial slurs, pretending as if the pillow was a Black person,” her sister Elizabeth, a senior said.

Nya said a classmate shared the video with her earlier this week, telling the news station that when she initially “saw the video, I hadn’t really processed everything that was going on.” she added, “I was hearing the words but yesterday I was in my counselor’s office, and I was really talking about it to them, and that’s when it all really hit me and how personal it was to me. That was just really hard because I just had this wave of emotions.”

“You dark ass n–ger,” the student said in the video. “You dark ass chocolate bar. Get the f-ck out of here. No one likes n–gers. No one likes them. F-cking kill yourself right this time. Do it f-cking right. Cut deep enough this time, or f-cking tie the rope higher. Like, what the f-ck.”

The school sent out a letter to parents on, Nov. 11, with Principal John Bezek saying “does not tolerate racism or hate speech.”

Superintendent Dr. Teri Stalock said “An investigation into the students involved with the video is underway and we will take appropriate action. We remain focused on our priority of providing safe, supportive and inclusive learning environments for all students.”

“I want to see them hold these people accountable,” Elizabeth told KSTP. “It’s already hard enough being in such a predominantly white area as a Black family, and as Black women, it makes it so much harder for us. I really just want to see my school do something about this video and give real consequences to the students who are involved.”
