My son goes to a high school in SC. It is a diverse bunch. It is good to see there are still boys with testosterone that drive big trucks and have rebel flags. It isn’t about whites or blacks it has become a lifestyle of southern masculinity and patriotism. They hunt, fish, work in trucks, wear boots, listen to country music and maybe have a confederate flag. In the other side if he coin you have boys who only wear Vineyard Vines.
It looks to me as if the deceased child was himself of mixed racial ancestry.
