🚨 White teenagers in Florida left their Black friend Marquise to drown in a river while taunting him with slurs and monkey noises from the shore.
Marquise couldn’t swim well and was wearing an ill-fitting child-sized life jacket. A kayaking family rescued him as he feared for his life.
He said his “friends” expected him to swim back alone. This kind of racist behavior is disgusting and should be investigated.

As a white person:
1. Stop diminishing what happened. Stop telling Black people what to feel & that they are wrong
2. Listen to what the Black community is telling you
3. I don’t care who the fuck you are, as a human, if you left your friend behind…you’re a shit friend, period.
