Video shows white students torturing Black doll named ‘Shaniqua’ at football game
A student game involving a Black doll baby is receiving criticism. A video has been circulating showing a group of white students at a California High School torturing a Black doll they referred to as Shaniqua. The video was posted on social media under the user name “Shaniqua.shs,” which shows a number of students from Salinas High School in Salinas, California using racial slurs while holding the doll. The students are seen abusing the doll, stepping on it, ran over it with a fellow student’s car, and put the doll in various sexual positions, according to Newsweek.
The video was recorded by a student before a school football game that was taking place at the school. After the video began circulating on social media, the Instagram account was made private and later deleted.
Many parents are outraged by the video saying they aren’t surprised by the controversy. In an interview with KION News Channel, one parent questioned why the teenagers felt “comfortable” to even film and post the videos.
“These kids feel comfortable enough to do this on campus at a football game where there’s parents, where there’s staff members and other children,” said Mercedes, a parent of a Salinas High School student. “And, you’re going to tell me all of the staff being around and even parents, nobody saw this go on, nobody saw that there was something wrong with this,”
After the backlash, The Salinas Union High School District issued a statement:
The SUHSD does not condone this type of behavior and although the District has taken steps to support our African
American students and staff, this recent incident demonstrates how much more support is needed. We urge families to also
take time to talk with their students about the damaging effects of racist behavior. Counseling is available at all of our
school sites for any students who may need support.
