Of course it's newsworthy, it warns us that our country is becoming a racist hellhole.

Our country has always been racist against someone. Newsflash, racism has existed since long before Trump was a twinkle in his momma's eye. Being aware of history is the first step to genuinely solving the issue, rather than acting like nothing existed before 2016.

TBF he didn't say anything about Trump or 2016.

Nothing at all. It's merely that the media is portraying this kind of thing as white perpetrated to drive an anti-white narrative while ignoring minorities do this too and just as often if not more.

It's akin to the portrayal of terrorism. The media has made a caricature about how a group of people is evil and has negative traits, written a narrative about it, and is now pushing it. They're doing this with the backing of an ideology that outgroups that demographic and pushing that ideology, just like they did to muslims.


Are you serious? The media is anti white? That's one of the most insane things ive ever heard. These children are our future and should not have such bigoted views.


Yes, the media has an anti-male and anti-white narrative that it pushes about particular issues, much like it has an anti-muslim narrative about particular issues, anti-black about others, and so on.

Which children?
White children?
Or any children?

Then why is the story always about white children?

Because progressive ideology is racist against whites and erases minority perpetration of these behaviors.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

None of the other bigoted incidents made famous by social media where newsworthy to you either such as the women in St Louis who tried to block someone from entering his apartment building or the women who told non whites to get off the bus in Westchester County?

This is the same thing but even scarier coming from people so young.

I think the problem is that he said the country is "becoming" racist. Racism has always existed somewhere in this country.

Ever heard of Ruby Bridges? How about being six years old and being told by men, women, and children that you can't go to a school because you're black? Again, this has happened before.

The instances you mentioned actually involved grown adults harassing others. No such thing happened here. These kids weren't harassing or hurting anyone. They were just saying stupid things which happens a lot in high school, believe it or not.

Not even going to explain the irony in that.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

These kids don't need no thought control. They are free-thinking individuals. They have access to an education. It's their right to be uneducated.

Have the media write up a story when they start harassing or assaulting individuals. Until then, they aren't hurting anyone.

But why is it only newsworthy when white people do it?
You understand INDIVIDUAL people saying racist things can be a topic to discuss, but if you ONLY talk about one race of people doing that, it's because you're driving a narrative about that group, not discussing prejudice. And in the context of picking out individuals of that group to do so it leaves that group without recourse.

You're detached from reality if you really think there are zero non-whites who hold bigoted viewpoints, especially among kids. In my experience kids are more likely to be bigoted; just furthering my established point that kids are stupid.

I didn't mention Trump at all. And I am well aware. We need to look to the future and do this for our future, not the past nor blame anyone in particular.

I am not blaming Republicans for this in this instance, they may have been Democrat-aligned for all I know. Besides, blaming parties is useless. Even if correct, it fans the flames.

These particular students need to be taught that this is not ok. If they show remorse, fine. But, posting a web video like this to get views is sickening.

They deserve to be punished. Community Service, maybe Juvie, or working at a multiethnic workplace, as community service. Either way, they need to be punished.

Is what they did illegal?
