Las Vegas student filmed singing lyrics with racial slurs

A Palo Verde High School student filmed singing song lyrics with racial slurs and the phrase “they can burn in hell” is the second racist incident to go public in the Clark County School District this week.

The video shows a male student singing lyrics from a profanity-laced song that uses racial slurs in its chorus, throwing curses at Rosa Parks and saying Martin Luther King Jr. deserved to be killed.

The section of the song that the student quoted uses expletives and racial slurs directed at African-Americans, noting, “They can burn in hell” and “(Expletive) Rosa Parks, I slap that (expletive) as well.”

In a message sent to parents on Wednesday, Principal Darren Sweikert said he received several SafeVoice messages about the video on social media.
