In a comment on her video, Rehbein says she threw the box away.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Rehbein wrote in a comment. “Goes to show how well and alive racism is.”
Many commenters expressed their disgust at the racist act of covering up a Black baby’s face with a white one’s.
“That is so inappropriate and gross,” @kaaylin0 commented.
“This is literally so scary,” @iciest.biiitch wrote.
“It’s scary to think their hatred runs so deep,” @tia.burey commented. “That it affects them so badly they did that.”
Others commented on the reality that racism is taught to children by their parents.
“It’s the fact that these people are raising children,” @myownelement commented.
In a follow-up video, Rehbein reaffirmed that she thought the act of covering up the Black baby’s face was “intentional.”
