A Snapchat video of middle school students simulating the rape of black students ignited fire in the small Virginia community of Glen Allen, The Washington Post reported.

The video, which was captioned, "What really goes on in the football locker room" featured white football players at Short Pump Middle School bending black members of the team over benches and simulating sex acts on them. Another video was captioned "We're going to fuck the black outta these black children from Uganda," according to The Post.

The video shocked and upset members of 25,000 person suburb of Richmond, Virginia. The team will not play any games for the remainder of the season and a Richmond-based group has said it will file a complaint with the Department of Education (ED).

But the video also highlights a disturbing a trend of racist behavior on social media by young people, often minors.

At a school district in Pennsylvania high school students posted an image of themselves standing in front of pumpkins carved with racist messages like "KKK" and an image of a swastika, Philly.com reported. More than 200 students walked out of school in protest after the photos appeared online.

And in St. George, Utah, five white female high school students uploaded a video to instagram shouting "fucking *******" repeatedly, according to USA Today.

Posting racist and sexually explicit images online may be becoming more prevalent.

"Social media may elicit a kind of competitive or 'one-upping' culture that fuels peer competition around who is the most daring or carefree," Dara Greenwood, Ph.D., a social psychologist and a professor at Vassar College, told Business Insider for a previous story about social media usage in young people.
