A Virginia community is reeling after students at a high school were made to watch a video about racial inequality during Black History Month.

The animated film shown at Glen Allen High School in Henrico called 'The Unequal Opportunity Race' uses an actual race between white and black athletes as a metaphor for the advantages and disadvantages each face in different facets of life. The film is produced by the African American Policy Forum.

Don Blake, a grandfather of a student who attends the school where the video was shown, called the film a 'white guilt kind of video.'

Equal? In the video, four athletes prepare to race one another. At the start of the race, the white athletes are able to run immediately while the black ones are not able to move forward

Ahead of the race: Words like 'slavery,' 'genocide,' and 'segregation,' flash in front of the black athletes while the white athletes appear to be getting more and more money

Obstacles: The black racers in the video are faced with obstacles such as poor schooling and discrimination

'They are sitting there watching a video that is dividing them up from a racial standpoint. It's a White guilt kind of video,' Don Blake said.

'I think somebody should be held accountable for this,' he added.

In the video, four athletes prepare to race one another. At the start of the race, the white athletes are able to run immediately while the black ones are not able to move forward.

Words like 'slavery,' 'genocide,' and 'segregation,' flash in front of the black athletes while the white athletes appear to be getting more and more money, signified in the video as dollar symbols.

When the black athletes are finally able to being the race, they are faced with even more obstacles such as standardized tests and prison.

One white athlete who holds a Yale water bottle wins the race without even running. He is marked in the film by the word, 'privilege.'

'Affirmative action helps level the playing field,' concludes the video.

The school provided a statement saying that the video was part of a presentation involving “American history and racial discourse,' according to Fox.

'A segment of the video was one component of a thoughtful discussion in which all viewpoints were encouraged. As always, we are welcoming of feedback from students and their families, and we address concerns directly as they come forward,' the statement continued.

Radio personality Craig Johnson told WWBT that skin color shouldn't be a main topic of discussion.

'The reality of it, it’s over. The aftermath of it is poverty pimps that will not let it die,' Johnson said.

'Dr. [Martin Luther] King gave his life so that America would be a pace where we are judged by the content of our character, not the color of our skin.'
