Aledo ISD ninth grader speaks out about being targeted in racist Snapchat

Aledo ninth-grader Christopher Johnson, who was targeted in a racial Snapchat group with multiple names, including “Slave Trade” and another that included a racial slur, wanted to speak to Aledo ISD board members, president, and superintendent about his experience, Monday evening, April 19, 2021. His mother Mioshi Johnson (right) stood by his side. Christopher and another African-American boy were the targets of a social media post last week.

I don't know why ya'll keep thinking those people like you! Just b/c you live in their community and hang out with their kids, you shouldn't be surprised when this stuff surfaces. They hand down these traditions to their kids' kids like a family tradition. Wake up! Look at some of these politicians and that should tell you enough! Watch your six!!!

True.

He seems like a very intelligent young man.😇

What bothers me the most is how they thought in 2021 a AFRICAN AMERICAN would let themselves be sold. Secondly who in 2021 were they intended on selling the so called slaves to and lastly, who in 2021 thought much of themselves to be a so called slave owner. AledoISD Teachers need to be taught. #IDIOTSareIGNORANT

Poor kid prob wants nothing to do with this

[@Fan-qu8qy]

The poor kid wants everything to do with this since he was the target. Remember he comes from a household that is proactive and that's all he knows. He did not ask for this nonsense he is a victim of someone else's stupid idea of the slave trade.

Interesting that these are the only type of stories that you post on here. It’s almost as if you have an agenda. The transparency is embarrassing.

[@nikonoga1979]

Exactly !

[@neostephens8980]

It's even more interesting that you think they did something wrong by posting the store here. You're just like them and part of problem.

SMH 9th grade

I'm wondering WHY they are expecting the school to do something about what is on Snapchat. Does that school own Snapchat??? Go to the source. Go to the parents of the kids who did it. The school has no business in people's lives outside of the school!

He reads very fast and impatiently, it looks like he doesn't want to be there.

What he basically saying is that he's lying

[@alil2country]

Who wants to be the center of attention? Snapchat slave trade is shitty racist behavior leaned from even shittier parents. Literally NoBoDy wakes up and says let's fake a slave auction in 2021. He's obviously nervous to be speaking in front of the school board on a highly emotional situation.
