A nine-year-old black girl from Alabama, who was allegedly bullied by her fourth-grade classmates for being friends with a white family, committed suicide.
On December 9, McKenzie Adams was found by her grandmother after she hanged herself, the Tuscaloosa News reported. McKenzie attended U.S. Jones Elementary School in Demopolis after transferring from her elementary school in Linden where her mother and grandmother said she had been bullied. Her mother, Jasmine Adams, and her grandmother complained to the State Board of Education about the bullying McKenzie was experiencing, which allegedly continued at her new school.
Jasmine Adams told CBS 42, "She told me that this one particular child was writing her nasty notes in class. It was just things you wouldn't think a 9-year-old should know. And my baby to tell me some of the things they had said to her, I was like, where are they learning this from? … Part of it could have been because she rode to school with a white family. And a lot of it was race; some of the student bullies would say to her, ‘Why you riding with white people? You’re black; you’re ugly. You should just die.’”

WTF is wrong with you people??
Sad prejudice is learned you're not born with it you are taught.
So sad. Government/Public Schools protect no one. These dear children should NEVER have to put up with this evil.
If you read into this story, it is insanely fishy. I think the parents had something to do with this. A 9 year old girl doesn't just come up with the idea to hang herself and if things got that bad, the parents need to go to prison for not intervening .
I was thinking the same thing
Very sad. It happens a lot. Last summer bunch of kids playing next door. All I heard was "Kesha, you talking white".
Its sad, but it doesnt sound right to me either
