With everything that’s going on in the world today, do you ever sit back and wonder if this is reality or if you’re stuck in The Twilight Zone? 

Welp, just in case you needed a reality check, two black teens were at the center of a cruel and racially insensitive Craigslist ad at a Clay County District high school, First Coast News reports.

While looking through Craigslist, Lexis Potter stumbled upon a “Two Slaves For Sale” ad that pictured two black students sitting at their desks. In a now deleted Facebook post, Potter described the ad as a “sick, disgusting 'joke' and a horrible reflection upon this school and students." 

One of the students in the ad, Skye Fefee, was shocked when she learned about the ad via Snapchat. "I never thought somebody would do this to me. I had friends texting and calling me," said the Fleming Island High School senior. 

According to Fefee, this was not the first racial incident that’s happened at the Jacksonville school. Just this year, Fefee claims the words "whites only" were written above the toilets of the school’s bathroom and the administration did nothing about the issue.

In a statement released by the Clay County District Schools, school officials stated: “We do not tolerate this type of behavior and we are disheartened that any of our students would be subject to discrimination.” 

According to Superintendent Addison Davis, the school and district are currently working towards creating a plan of action to strengthen and celebrate the school’s diversity.
