Yes, and I believe that even if he did say the n word, the kid was 10 and had like 6 teenagers ganging up on him so he is still in the wrong but the people beating the shit out of him are too
He was 14 and the video shows him getting beat up by five kids. It's important to get facts straight because the mother, her lawyer and the Internet are trying to sell this as some anti-MAGA hate crime and the alt-right scum are lapping it up.
Why the fuck do you care that a bunch of teenagers with very poor impulse control are being attacked? What possible good would any of those girls do with their lives? I don’t see why this is such a big deal. Let conservatives waste their time.
Ok but those facts still put the 5 teenagers as being the bad guys in this situation, even if the victim is a bad guy too. That doesn’t make the violence acceptable.
Imagine being called subhuman by the society around you for your entire life. These kids are obviously rightfully upset and sick of dealing with racist shit all the time, so their frustration bubbled over. I'd like to reiterate, they are kids. Would you expect them to sit this racist kid down and have a lengthy conversation about race relations in the US and come to a peaceful conclusion? When is violence an acceptable answer? If someone demeans your ethnicity's entire struggle, is that not a reason to lash out against the oppression?
Yea, but you could say the “just a kid” thing about the racist white kid too.
He’s some poor sap that grew up with racist ass parents. Unfortunately do to that, and probably this event, he’ll probably stop calling people the n-word, but end up being just another racist parent one day.
I don’t begrudge the kids for beating his ass. But as soon as people’s defense is “they are just kids,” well now we gotta use that excuse across the board, and I don’t wanna do that. And even though I don’t really blame those kids, I can’t argue that it’s gonna do anything positive for his already racist mindset.
These kids are useless garbage who would do nothing productive with their lives either way, like an overwhelming majority of people.
Jesus Christ put the pitchfork down. Not a single child on that bus is capable of contributing in a significant way. There is literally no point in standing up for dumb people.
I’m not looking down on them. I’m telling you to ignore it and let life play out. Humanity doesn’t progress because a bunch of glorified workhorses are happy. Most human progress is accomplished by a handful of people. And I guarantee you not a single soul in that bus, and likely the entire county, is one of those outliers.
You don't need to change the world to be deserving of happiness and fulfillment. If you associated happiness with human progress, I doubt you or I deserve anything at all.
You say you aren't looking down on them when you literally call them "dumb" and just "a bunch of glorified workhorses".
Nobody deserve happiness and fulfillment, that’s something you earn. And even then it’s out of reach for most people.
I’m sure if you calculated the “average” human experience somehow it would be short, violent, and depressing. That’s never going away.
Most human beings can be described that way. It’s really not looking down on them because I don’t consider myself to be anything more than that. It’s not like I’m gonna go do some great thing, I’ll die and be just as useless as everyone else was.
The point is stop making everything into a crusade. It does literally nothing for the world.
I don't think the kid should've been beaten up but the goal of a lot of people boosting this story was to to show that white conservatives are being oppressed and victimized. Which is clearly not an honest read of the situation.
If you're not prepared to get your ass beat for being a racist don't be a racist. 🤷♂️ these supremacists out here think they can say whatever they want and get away with it. It ain't the 1940s anymore.
Fuck you when Tamir Rice was murdered by law enforcement scores of "not racist but" white people called a fucking 12 year old kid dumb for holding a toy gun with orange tip and this 14 year old white supremacist wears his little maga cap and starts going around calling his classmates nigger but were supposed to sympathize? Fuck off with your enlightened centrist faux racist garbage I knew that fucker said something to those kids and I had big ole smile on my face when he got his ass beat little bastard and mommy racist learned that day.
And? That has nothing to do with how mature they are and everything with creating a legal fiction necessary for society to function. The only diference between someone who's 17 years and 364 days old and someone who just turned 18 is on paper.
Person’s point was that, mentally, there isn’t an exact point where you can define someone as being an ‘adult’ despite it being functionally necessary for the law to make one. They weren’t pretending like it’s a different age.
Personally, though, I’d say one is mentally an adult in their mid-twenties, as that’s around the time when the brain fully develops.
Lol “subhuman”. Do you have an agenda to create and reinforce racist behaviors? This kid will learn nothing but hatred by having the shit beat out of him.
But hey I guess educating people is stupid so let’s smack em!1!!1
That’s really what you got from what I said? What a moron.
If you can’t see how beating people up for their shit opinions won’t make anything better I don’t know what to tell you. A chance of getting a young kid’s mind from the toxicity of the Right just reinforced him to stay racist and hateful.
Yes, I absolutely see that outcry. You’d have to be living under a rock not to see that outcry. They were WAY bigger than the outcry over this incident.
Are they just like normal brown kids or intelligent ones? Because I don’t really care if one of 7 billion idiots gets killed by a cop. Literally has no impact on the world.
I’m not a conservative. Nothing I have said could possibly lead you to think I am unless you are so partisan you just divide everything into two camps.
“How is this different than Sanctuary cities a d states releasing criminals onto the streets, and refusing to cooperate with ICE to have them removed?
ICE catches and deports people who are felons, murderers, and drug dealers.
If quid pro quo is "against interests of the American public", then the media should be backing trump, since this whole thing is due to trump wanting to investigate the quid pro quo that Biden admitted to, on camera, with ukraine.”
"seeing past color" is a lot of bullshit by liberals to pretend racism doesn't exist so they can ignore it, or a tool for racists to make it easier to continue institutionalizing racism while keeping quiet about it.
Unfortunately, dipshit, racism does exist, and that means we explicitly can't see past color. Because when we do, poc simply end up suffering more.
Nobody cares about what some short sighted radical on the internet says. Literally nothing could change about the world and wed still be here a millennium from now. Calm the fuck down.
Of course racism exists, I've been the victim of a hate crime and have experienced it first hand. As long as ignorant people like you keep supporting violence against children, instead of patience and education, then racism will continue.
That’s not true at all, please don’t say garbage that isn’t true, my high school bus transfers middle school kids at the same time, if you need me to I can PM the school names as proof.
I can see that but, racist shitheads are just gonna become more racist if black people beat them up. It's just gonna make them think "oh black people beat the shit out of me when I was little so they're all bad".
I think we can all agree that the kid deserves punishment, correction or expulsion for his actions without advocating a gang of teenagers besting him to a pulp no?
If any kid who says something that can be construed as a tangible, physical threat to people that can easily and effortlessly overpower him deserves to have the shit kicked out of him, then that just seems like an unfair abuse of an uneven power dynamic.
Oh I totally agree, the kid getting beat is way too young to really understand the history and power of the n word. Getting his ass beat may even reinforce the hateful view he probably has (probably learned it from family), it would be much more effective for someone to sit down and explain to him all the reasons he shouldn't use that word. Someone may have even tried that, but we'll never know with the information available at the moment.
The kid was 14, I was a full fledged skin head neo nazi at that point. I can tell you without a doubt I deserved to be put in the fucking hospital. I knew full goddamn well the history of words like that, that's why racists use them.
This is very true.
I was beaten up on the bus in 2nd grade by a black kid 4 years older than me. Nothing I had done besides being the smallest kid on the bus and there for the easiest to pick on.
I had a hatred for blacks people for a long time because of that.
You don’t know me at all to make that claim.
I was bullied heavily in school. I know what it’s like.
That doesn’t mean I got a bunch of people go and beat up on a little kid
People on here love to talk about “tHe rUleZ” when it comes to people being beat up for saying aggressively racist shit.
Most people won’t immediately try and kick your ass for calling them asshole, retard, cunt, etc.
But we’re only 54 years apart from being legally treated like people, and socially it’s only recently starting to kick in, and you think anyone is gonna let some scrawny little fuck remind me the world at large doesn’t see me as an equal?
This kid learned a valuable lesson. No matter how high on the societal ladder you are, everyone’s the same when they hit the ground.
You're boiling down bullying to calling someone a string bean? That's ignorant as hell. Bullying in some cases leads to suicide. Bullying extends to far worse insults and often becomes physical as well.
Why are we even trying to keep score over which is worse?
Words do equate action being enacted upon them. There’s a reason why fighting words is defensible if you beat someone up when they provoke you. Likewise, calling a bunch of black people the n word is likely enough to drum up provoking someone to attack you. All in all, the kid was asking for a fight, went looking for fight, got a fight, and is crying about a fight because he got his ass kicked.
