A racist lynching threat to a black high school student in New York State has her family calling for more stringent measures against the perpetrators
An upstate New York teen is speaking out after a classmate allegedly targeted her with a racist threat on social media.
On Thursday, Minisink Valley High School student N’Senga Kinzonzi, held an emotional press conference to recount what it felt like to see a photo of herself posted by a classmate with the caption that read, “We must lynch her,” according to NBC New York.
To add insult to injury, Kinzonzi’s family claims that the school has yet to take any serious action towards disciplining the student who posted the racially charged picture on Snapchat.
“This was a threat made on her life, and there was a call for others to participate in this,” explains her mother, Nicole Kinzonzi. “The caption said ‘we’ must lynch her.”
Her grandmother, Drusilla Kinzonzi, is also questioning if the school is doing enough to educate students about the history of black Americans being lynched in the South.
“If we’re not teaching all of American history, we are not teaching,” she said.
