[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could write the whole history of the racist construction of “childhood” and who is entitled to have one by reference to this thread.[/quote]

do you know the race of the officers?[/quote]

NP but yes. It's easy to Google them and see they are both Black (actually only 100% sure of one of them, 75% on the other). Of course, I assumed from the quoted AAVE-adjacent dialogue that at least one was.

Let's say both officers were Black and so was the boy. This is what I have been assuming. And I've also been assuming that there is a racist element to this story.

Do you somehow think that the racist construction of childhood or the adultification of Black boys does not come into play? Do you think POC cannot perpetuate white supremacy*? Lots of POC think it is their job to toughen up and/or perpetuate fear of white institutions among kids of their own race. Open a book.

As for the school's reaction or involvement, which is a little less clear, the principal and vice principal are both white. But whatever.

*I mean, of course you think that. You almost certainly think an incident can only possibly be racist if someone white directly applies the N-word with a hard R to a Black person, and even then, rap music is probably to blame.  :roll: [/quote]
