The white teenage schoolgirls who recorded themselves rapping a violent, racist 'song' have apologised after the recording went viral.
The students at Grapevine High School in Texas are said to have recorded the song two years ago when they were 14. It includes such heinous lyrics as, "N***ers n***ers n***ers they always look at me, I want to kill them yeah, I wanna hang them from a tree."
After the recording began circulating widely, the school was forced to send an email apologising to parents for the "vulgar and racially insensitive words" used.

Now, in apology letters posted by The Daily Kos, the unnamed students have defended themselves. One of them wrote, "I was 14 years old and was ignorant to the words coming out of my mouth. As kids, we hear racist jokes all times of the day. It’s what we’re around, it’s the jokes we heard."
She continued, "I have never been so utterly humiliated and ashamed in my entire life, because if you know me, you know you will never meet a human being with as much unconditional love and kindness in their heart as me." If that's the case, we're a little worried for humankind.
