A 'race-fueled' brawl erupted between black and Somali students at a Minneapolis high school, it is claimed, leading to the arrest of at least two adults accused of joining in.
The initial altercation erupted between a group of black and Somali students, it was claimed by CrimeWatchMinneapolis, but the situation escalated when parents, after they became aware of the incident, allegedly joined the fight alongside their children.
Latoys' daughter, Sanaiah Milon, claimed she was punched to the floor and kicked by dozens of students earlier on Thursday because of 'a personal beef'. She denied claims the brawl was racially-motivated, although the school is continuing to investigate it as such.
Sanaiah said she had a previous argument with a Somali student months prior. A counselor and school administrator intervened at the time, and Sanaiah said she thought the issue was solved.
She was alarmed when other students warned her that she was going to get 'jumped,' Sanaiah told KARE11 about the lead-up to Thursday's attack.
'And I got punched. And I got punched again from the other side. Then one student grabbed me by the neck and she tossed me and we were on the floor.
'And it was just kicks, punches. In my head, it felt like it was going on forever. Like, I was just scared,' she added.
Videos circulated on social media platforms show Sanaiah being thrown to the ground and kicked when she tried to fight back.
She was eventually rescued as a teacher pulled her away from the crowd, closing a door to the hallway. She sustained a swollen and bruised eye.
Class resumed after the intense fight, but as the final bell rang, the situation escalated when Latoys, accompanied by her older daughter, arrived on the scene.

Good observations.
Not sure I agree with the “pop” version of the word tribe, which seemed to come about during the hippie era, in favor of the traditional biological sense of a large association of clans claiming a geographic location—a genetic subgroup with their own ethos. The actual situation on the ground in Rwanda was incredibly tragic, with two tribes who had intermingled for centuries, and were not having a problem until the government interfered and started to divide them and incite hatred.
What did the Rwandan government actually do to interfere? I have never gotten a good explanation!
I don’t know, so I looked it up, racism vs. tribalism. I am not sure I have ever looked up “tribalism” in my life. And I sure as hell am not going back to school to have some Leftist professor indoctrinate me.
I always felt that tribe is just a word that ties groups of people together, and can be used in positive or negative ways., the caveat being that you have to WANT to be part of that tribe to be a member. I don’t think one must be an indigenous person to be part of a given tribe.
Maybe part of racism is the shoe-horning of someone into a “Tribe” of some kind as a way to deny them their individualism (and doing it out of ideological reasons)
That said, I understand your concern of the shifting meaning of “Tribe” over the years. THAT is what they do.
Is that all together on a web page that I can steer folks to?
I have black friends that I worked with and still keep up with. They are good standard people but do have some delusions about Africa.
Thanks ! similar to what I’ve heard.
Tribalism is a good word to describe when the powers that be herd us all into identity groups and people start being proud of being labeled and segregated.
Sad.
Right..racial tensions were about 50 years in rear view mirror until Obama stirred it up all over again for political purposes.
In my area these fights are often religion based.
And people from the islands (Jamaican, Haitian, etc)
