It's hilarious how people cherry pick which articles to believe right off, and which to say "Hey, now, let's calm down..."

Every Bush-bashing article from the Buchanan wing gets believed and Bush is pilloried, every HRC-bahsing article is believed right off, but a white driver sends black kids to the back of the bus and it's let's wait and see?

If a black driver did the same to some white kids there would be no call for wait and see, there'd be hundreds of screams of reverse racism (whatever that is--it's racism, period).

Everything we comment on here could be retracted at a moment's notice when new facts emerge--why the extra caution on racial stories like this?

The driver should be fired; if he were black and did this to whites we'd all be demanding it, and rightly so, also. Racism isn't a Republican value--we're the party that freed the slaves. Let this guy join the democrats, he'll be comfortable there.

Now really, let's all just remain calm and think this through. Isn't it really much safer sitting in the back of the bus if say there were a head on traffic accident or maybe some evil person threw a brick through the front window of the bus. Wouldn't the Black kids be safer in the back of the bus? Maybe that was the driver's motive. Come now, let's try to look for the good in everybody.

No, I think if a story seems outrageous on it's face (like, "Bush Rapes Woman" or "Hillary! Meets With Alien Leader") we are skeptical. It is VERY hard to believe, not that some white people are racist, but that someone could be so stupid as to be blatantly racist in this day and age.

Racism...by or against anyone, in my opinion-is the #1 problem in our Country.
