[WATCH] Baltimore Principal Claims Racist Comments Caught On Recording Were Generated By ‘AI’

Eric Eiswert, the principal at Pikesville High School in Maryland, is currently under investigation by the Baltimore school district for racist and antisemitic statements attributed to him in a private chat. The allegations stem from a secret recording that recently surfaced, leading to widespread concern and calls for accountability.

The recording, posted on Instagram on January 17, features a male voice making disparaging remarks about Black students and teachers. In the recording, the voice expresses frustration, stating, “I seriously don’t understand why I have to put up with these dumbasses here every day… Between these ungrateful Black kids who can’t test their way out of a paper bag or these teachers who don’t get it. How hard is it to get these students to meet their grade-level expectations?”

Not only did the voice target Black students and teachers, but it also made derogatory comments about the Jewish community in Pikesville, which has a sizable Jewish population. The recording quickly went viral, sparking outrage and demands for swift action.

Billy Burke, executive director of the union representing Baltimore County administrators, addressed the allegations, claiming that the recording was created using artificial intelligence (AI). Burke stated that Eiswert “denounces [the racist comments], and he did not make those statements.” The use of AI in creating such recordings raises questions about the potential manipulation of audio to falsely implicate individuals.

BCPS Superintendent Myriam Rogers is actively working to verify the authenticity of the recording. In response to the controversy, Rogers emphasized the school district’s commitment to maintaining a respectful and inclusive environment, stating, “We will not tolerate disparaging remarks about any member of the Team BCPS community.”

The investigation into Eric Eiswert’s alleged comments highlights the challenges schools face in addressing issues of racism and discrimination within their leadership.

Listen to the recording below. Thoughts?

WATCH: FGB Duck’s Mother Says She Hosting a ‘Justice Served’ Party Following Conviction of O-Block Members

by
FBG Duck 945x598 1

Following the conviction of six men in the murder of FBG Duck, his mother hit Instagram Live and delivered a message.

“I wanna see y’all tonight at my house,” she said. “We popping bottles, we celebrating. We havin’ a ‘justice served’ party for Duck tonight.”

A federal jury in Chicago has convicted six men from O-Block for the murder of FBG Duck in the Gold Coast shopping area of the city.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the deliberation lasted two full days, wrapping a trial over three months. Duck, born Carlton Weekly, was killed in front of a store on Aug. 4, 2020. His girlfriend and another shopper were injured in the shooting.

Federal investigators tied the murder to a gang war between Duck’s Tookaville faction of the Gangster Disciples and the O Block set of the Black Disciples, including diss songs between Duck and the late King Von. Investigators believe Von placed a bounty on Duck.

Court docs revealed O Block members planned out shootings and a drug operation in regular meetings. Duck’s murder was to increase their reputation.

Convicted was Charles “C Murda” Liggins, an alleged shooter, on five of seven counts and Kenneth “Kenny Mac” Roberson, an alleged getaway driver, guilty under the same counts. Tacarlos “Los” Offerd, another alleged getaway driver, was found guilty of five counts. Christopher “C Thang” Thomas, another alleged shooter, was found guilty of three counts: murder, using a gun in the murder and conspiracy to commit the murder. Ralph “Teezy” Turpin, who tipped off the shooting, was found guilty of murder and conspriacy to commit murder. Marcus “Muwop” Smart, 24, another alleged gunman, was found guilty of five counts.

Another alleged gunman, Ezell Rawls, committed suicide during the investigation.

Two cars in the shooting were tracked to the shooting scene using surveillance cameras.
