My kid doesn’t feel abandoned whatsoever and does have friends at his middle school and a great home life. I am sure the majority of kids at his school feel the same way that he does about race. Think about it just for a moment - when a white kid beats up a black kid at school everyone hears about it. The same applies too if a black kid beats up a white kid. After the fight he was involved in many white boys came forward and basically patted him on the back for it was as if he was scoring one for the white side. As they saw it someone finally stuck up for them by putting the racist black bully in his place. Crazy isn’t it? But the black kid who got the surprise of his life for pushing the wrong white boy around once too often also had his friends come forward and ask why he beat up their “homie”.
The color lines will always be there as far as I am concerned. The only way to change things is through education and if the parents aren’t educated then chances are their children won’t be either as the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree. The cycle will continue on and on and nothing will change.
I will be putting my son in a private school next year when he starts high school as this is just nuts.
It’s not just the south where this stuff happens in schools. That’s northern propaganda.
All schools have behavior problems. The kids know that they can cry racism and the teacher will get in trouble.
