High school student infiltrates, uncovers racist online chat
https://news.yahoo.com/high-school-student-infiltrates-uncovers-120940085.htmlWENDELL, N.C. (AP) A black student at a North Carolina high school infiltrated and exposed a racist student online chat, but it's unclear if everyone in the chat is facing consequences.
Cenayia Edwards uncovered slur laden conversations about killing black people and reviving slavery involving two students at Edward's East Wake High and five others at Johnston County's Corinth Holders High.
White friends of the 14-year-old told her about the chat in late September and so she adopted a white online persona to gain access, she said.
"I was like, 'Add me to it,' because I wanted to see what they were talking about," she told WTVD-TV. "And I wanted to have proof that they were talking about this."
