[quote=Anonymous]Early on I taught in a very rural part of MD which housed a significant figure in the KKK.  One of the KKK mothers threatened to have me killed b/c I was probably connected to mafia - lmfao!  So yes, I've been in rural parts - not Deliverance, but rural enough.

Don't speak for me. I've taught the extremes.

I'm not saying only minorities pick on nerds - a term I haven't used in ages now, btw.  But when you're the minority in a school, you get picked on.  You can't seem to understand that, can you?  not very bright IMO

And the worst case of bullying I've seen came from my own high school experiences - in a fairly uppity, all-girls private.

I'm just calling it like I see it - and I've seen quite a bit.

Kids are racist based on their experiences.  Imagine going home each day to an empty apartment with hardly any food. Imagine having a baby at 14. Imagine being taught by mainly white teachers who drive decent cars, who dress well, and who have kids in schools you'd never ever attend - unless you were in a small pocket of section 8 housing surrounded by wealth.

I'd hate whites, too.

But you don't get it, and part of the problem is that MOST people don't get it.

I am angry that those boys pummeled the kid. But I'm also angry that their parents raised them to be savages.   And I'm almost 100% certain that had they been held to more rigorous expectations - inside and outside of school - they wouldn't be those savages today.

So it's not black and white; it's all very gray.  And a president who doesn't address violent issues involving teens doesn't give a goddamn fuck about "the other" kids.  He doesn't.

So don't preach to me, honey bun.  I've seen more than you can EVER imagine!

Wrong. So totally, unbelievably wrong. Beat downs happen every day in America and it happens to all races. You just don't get a YouTube video to show it.

Also, your "observations" on education and race is faulty. Unless, of course, you've taught in rural and urban populations. I'm guessing no though, right? And smart kids are bullied in schools across America. Stop trying to make it seem like only minorities pick on nerds, because it's simply not true.

And Obama is not going to address school bus beat downs. Stop being petty and ridiculous. [/quote][/quote]
