This article discusses a controversial senior prank done by the students of South Forsyth High School in Georgia. The students hung a banner in the front of the school with the words, "Nigga we made it," across the banner. Though these words were referencing a Drake song, many took offense to the insensitive banner. The students involved now face consequences due to their actions.
This related to AP Gov. because it deals with racial jokes and insensitivity, (which relate to civil rights and liberties) which is still unfortunately a problem in today's society.
I think these kids were very stupid to think this prank would be okay. Honestly, think it through- hanging a banner with a curse word (let alone a racially charged curse word) in the front of the school is not a good idea. I understand it was meant as a joke, but it was stupid and I think that kind of humor is lowbrow, tasteless, and offensive.
