The past year has been tough with the fight for the rights of blacks in the US and in the midst of pandemic the rise in the number of hate crimes against Asian Americans. Another shocking incident to make rounds on social media showing the sheer hypocrisy of a daycare center has made it to the internet after the footage shared shows white kids being served food first while the black classmates are seen sitting there empty-handed.
Outrageous Daycare Centre Footage Shows White Kids Given Food Before Black Classmates
In the midst of all the hate crimes and stories of racism, yet another disturbing video footage from a daycare center shows white children being served food before their black classmates.
The horrifying clip has gone viral on social media and is facing heavy criticism over the hypocrisy of the company.
The Kids ‘R’ Kids center in Roswell, Georgia, was reportedly broadcasting an all-day Livestream – so it is easy for the parents and the guardians to keep an eye on their kids, however, it was this live streaming that helped to catch the bizarre incident.
The Father of one of the children opened the live stream to check up on his two-year-old son when he saw white kids having their meal while the black kids watched them blankly.
“They were skipping all of the black kids it seemed like,” dad Adryan McCauley told CBS46.
“All the white kids got their lunch, and all the black kids had to wait. From the videos and pictures that we saw today, we are just completely disturbed.”
After witnessing the shameful incident, McCauley’s partner then rushed to the center to pick up their son and, when she confronted the director on what had happened, he pleaded ignorance.
“I’m not really sure because I’m not in the classroom,” he allegedly said. “Maybe it’s a dietary thing.”
In order to support the claim, the family then shared a screenshot of the shocking scene on Instagram in order to show the world the level of hypocrisy of the daycare center to the world.
Addressing the post to Kids R’ Kids, under the username @marquis_dagreat, the dad wrote: “This is truly unbelievable. You better know this won’t be the last time you hear from me on this.
“Why does every white kid have their food? Not one black child has food in front of them! Thank God for cameras in classrooms because there is no way to hide this racism!”
“In the year 2021 this is truly unbelievable. As blacks we always strive to send our kids to schools in Suburban areas, but I’m telling you first hand that is not always best.
“This is not a black or white issue, this is simply wrong.”
Kids R Kids has a number of schools across America and claims, on its website, to “desire the absolute best for the children in our care”.
The group’s president and CEO David Vinson responded to the claims on Thursday by announcing that the company would be terminating its “contract and branding” with the Roswell branch “effective immediately”.
Though it is not yet clear whether the site will continue to operate as an independent daycare.
Dee Gillespie, director, and owner of the now shunned location has since defended her colleague's actions, in a statement shared with the Daily Mail.
“We know the act was random, and the photo doesn’t show the entire room,” she said.
“We believe if the parents viewed the videos they would understand."
“I wish they could see the compassion we have.”
