Betcha dollars to doughnuts that if it had been six white kids beating up on a black kid, they would have been suspended, not arrested.
stuff like this is why people still give me "that look" when I say I am from Alabama or grew up in the South. SICKENING.

60's that's being generous. They are almost stuck in the 1860's. White students (who hang nooses from a "white" shade tree) get a slap on the wrist for their racially charged "joke" and black kids are charged as adults for several scuffles that resulted from the assaults on them by more bigoted wastes of space. It's stupid.
I think the people who hung the nooses should have been suspended for an extended period or even expelled. This whole thing got out of hand, and neither group comes off smelling like roses, both are in the wrong. It's just that the black students are getting harsher consequences.
As I've always said there are idiots, spazzes, and douche bags of all races, religions, and cultures. People who think that white people are better than any other race only seem to disprove that premise, or at least make you think, "Yeah, better at having teeth you can count on one hand and kids with their sister/cousin."
And I hear ya Katie, I'm a white, male, Christian from the South...imagine what kinds of looks I get.
