We need to understand that this was a reaction to the root causes of institutional racism and you have a young urban teen trying to express his frustration with racial injustice. We need to focus on eliminating white privilege and find a way to rescue this young man from the court system otherwise this could turn into a real tragedy! Maybe Oprah can do a special on why he’s angry and how a legacy of slavery forced him to make a statement against the system,because the focus should be to understand his pain and victimization.
Maybe Oprah told him that this teacher was one of those racists who just has to die.
