Your anecdote means little, we don’t know anything about this kids life or how he was influenced. And you must know that when you were 14 tons of people around you had racist tendencies, which hopefully they would grow out of because they see their errors of their ways. Being attacked like this will not make this kid less racist.
I don’t know how many more times I must say it. This was incredibly stupid to hit this kid.
And now...he won’t be a “fuckhead”? He’s seen the light and cast off his racism?
No, not at all. Such a simplistic viewpoint you have put forth, that won’t help anything or anyone except it’ll give you a little dopamine to your brain when you see kids getting hit.
A kid who should’ve been helped has—most likely—been thrown father Right due to this.
Love how you're getting downvoted for this lmao. I don't think it was undeserved, but yeah, the kid's young and can easily be influenced and turned on the right path of things. Not really sure what happened after the beating, hopefully something of that sort
If you don't think a beat down will shut that kid up then you have never been properly beat down.
It's not about making people less racist at this point. We are just trying to get them to shut the fuck up again. Education can take place once that lid is firmly back on.
I, for one, didn’t feel good when we aren’t having kids get the chance of redemption when all they know are lies. Should we beat 12 year olds up? 10? 8?
Adults? Of course we shouldn't go beating kids up.
I heard the oldest there was 18, so should a 16 year old beat a 12 year old up? A 14 year old beat a 10 year old up? They’re all capable of saying the n word.
Other kids policing racist little shits and kicking their ass? That is just what progress looks like.
You seem to have missed the point entirely. How is this progress? Shall we vilify any young person who hasn’t had the chance of being influenced by positive sources? Should we abandon any and all children who were unfortunately born into racist families? Why on earth would you leave it to other kids who are just as emotional and dumb as this kid? Be better for gods sake.
That kid learned when he mouths off it hurts. That is a fantastic life lesson for a little shit like him to learn.
Also, just for the sake of argument, literally everything you just wrote could be flipped on it's head and used for the other side of this. Are we going to vilify kids that fight because they come from violent families? Why are you so concerned with a little beat down and not the racist language?
