[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's certainly possible the family's suit is flimsy, but it's also possible the Sidwell was a bad actor. [/quote]
Given what's publicly known, which one is the likelier possibility in your opinion and why?[/quote]
PP here.  I don't think I have sufficient facts to say with any certainty--do you?  It's certainly possible both parties bear some responsibility for the outcome.[/quote]
No one is asking for certainly.  I'm simply trying to ascertain, based on your best guess, how the blame should be apportioned.  You seem to think it's 50/50 or close to it, correct?[/quote]

I have no idea, and I don’t think it’s important to apportion blame by percentages. I imagine both sides contributed to this mess.  I am disappointed that many people on this thread are jumping to the conclusion the family of color are opportunists and scammers, and that Sidwell is squeaky clean. In my observation it seems that people of color may need to resort to taking what would be seen by white people as extreme action in instances where they believe there were not treated fairly.  I do not know this family, and I do not presume to speak for them.  To white people in our culture their actions may look shady, but perhaps seek to understand what it might be like to experience an undercurrent of bias in society and then experience this situation.

You are racist, see racism everywhere, and won't stop until Sidwell apologizes to that family for all the racism and injustice in the world -- even if it's obvious they are a pair of scammers.

Have a blessed life, I'm pretty sure having nothing to do with Sidwell.[/quote]

You must live a very sad life. [/quote]

Your judgment is very poor.

No surprise :-)[/quote]

Well I’m glad. I wonder why you seem so angry. Kindness and compassion for others brings a great deal of happiness -  as  does forgiveness .[/quote]
