Boy has the united states lost it way big time. No wonder other countries laugh at us. Bunch of sensitive whiney babies. PC bullshit has to stop

Using human babies as gator bait and feeding humans to alligators because they were disobedient is beyond monstrous. Racists are demonically possessed and will have to answer to a loving just God.

This story was equally as stupid the last 4 times you ran it

lol this is so stupid

At this point, I think all this bullshit is pandering to the white democrats who want the blacks to think they’re “the good white people”

Stop lying

There name is literally Gators that has nothing to do with race.

That's ignorance in itself

Doesn't mean they'll stop saying it.

Defund fire the principal or Dean , Florida STEP UP IF ENDORSEMENT TO HATE.

I was today years old when I learned that my ancestors used human babies as bait. Kinda can’t unlearn that.

It's true though. They used to use black children as bait to hunt alligators! The term Gator Bait was used to refer to Black infants and toddlers.
