Two teenage girls were forced to drop out of their high school in Gainesville, Florida, when they began getting death threats after they posted a 15-minute racist rant about 'black people.'
In the disturbing video, the girls cheerily complain about the African-American students in their classes and drag out a litany traditional racist stereotypes. They broadly characterize 'them' as 'stupid' and 'ignorant' people who survive on welfare.
'There's black people, they're fine. They're educated they go to school they do what they have to do. Then there's niggers who can't talk right, they keep having kids, they can't get jobs,' the first girl says.

Both girls who appear in the video have since apologized for their remarks and removed the offending video and blog.
However, other people have re-posted the video on YouTube and the urban video-sharing site World Star Hip Hop.
In the clip, the two girls, both white, respond to critics who shower them with death threats and racial epithets for previous things they posted online about their black classmates.
Throughout the video, the teens claim they aren't racist. One of the girls explains: 'It's not even black people themselves. It's ...'
'... The Niggers!' they both shout in unison, giggling.
Another frequent theme the girls harp on is the way their black classmates speak.
One of the girls launches into a stereotypical impression of a black woman several times.
'Like, why can't they fucking talk right? I hate that,' she says.
'I hate it,' the second girl chimes in.
'We talk right,' the first girl continues.
'We talk with very eligible -- is that the right word? ... It's like, you can understand what we are saying. Our accents... we use actual words. Black people do not.'
The word the teen was looking for is actually 'intelligible.'
Later, the girl says: ''I'm not going to go on tumbler and saying niggers niggers niggers all the time because -- hold on. It looks like I've got a bunch of eyeliner in this eye but like, I don't. I think it's just the light.'
The girls have both issued apologies since the video came out.
'I am one of the girls who were in the racist video that got posted. I’m writing this so that I can tell people how truly sorry I am. I could never, in a million years, have pictured this happening with me involved. I wasn’t raised to hate people for their race, and I still don’t. I made a horrible decision in being a part of this video,' one of the girls said, according to the Gainsville Sun.
The second girl's mother also issued and apology: 'While we can never take back the words and actions that these two children have said, we have to start to heal and forgive IMMEDIATELY. Stop the violent threats to our homes and our children, stop the anger, because this will solve absolutely nothing, and most importantly, look at yourself for change and love.'
