Louisiana Teacher Claims Blacks ‘Act Like Animals’ in Facebook Rant about Colin Kaepernick

*White people were triggered into a crazed delirium when Nike dropped it’s inspiring Colin Kaepernick ad.

Many took to social media to burn the brand’s products, and one Louisiana high school teacher had to be “disciplined” after claiming Blacks ‘act like animals’ in a Facebook rant about the “Just Do it’ campaign.

Valerie Scogin, a math teacher at Slidell High School in Louisiana, wrote that people of color should “quit acting like animals” if they don’t want to be stereotyped, according to the New Orleans Advocate.

“They don’t have to live in that country. They could go back,” Scogin wrote. “But it was their own people selling them into slavery to begin with and tearing (sic) them even worse in those countries of origin.”

Want a better neighborhood? Move. You don’t have to choose to live in those zip codes. Want to not be stereotyped, tell people of that color to quit acting like animals and perpetuating the stereotype,” she added.

Scogin first tried to defend her remarks online before issuing an apology and claiming that “frustration at another Facebook post” is what prompted her racism.

“Recently I posted a comment that may have been hurtful to some of you,” Scogin wrote on her own Facebook page, according to the Advocate. “In my reaction out of frustration at another Facebook post, I made some remarks that were against my better judgment and sensibilities. I now wish I hadn’t.”

“The last thing I want to do is hurt anyone. I apologize for what I said and sincerely wish to avoid this in the future,” she added.

Meredith Mendez, a spokesperson for the St. Tammany school system, told the Advocate that, “The appropriate disciplinary action has been taken. I can’t comment further due to this being a personnel matter.”

As noted by essence, many want to know what exactly this “appropriate” discipline was. And some individuals, like Slidell alum Skylar Broussard aren’t buying Scogin’s apology.

“Imagine comparing people of color to animals, then when you get caught you try to say you didn’t think it would hurt anyone,” Broussard said.
