A Middle School Student On A Trip To DC Spat On A Black Person At The African American History Museum
* The principal of the Connecticut middle school said she did not believe the incident was racially motivated *
A white student on a middle school trip to Washington, DC, spat on a black patron at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture on Friday, prompting his class to be ejected from the museum.
The unnamed male student at Shelton Intermediate School in Connecticut spat off a balcony and hit the person below, according to principal Dina Marks, who was accompanying the students.
"It was an act of stupidity, disinterest, & immaturity, completely inappropriate, " she tweeted Saturday, "but I believe, not racially motivated against that person."
On Friday night, Marks wrote only that the students had returned to their hotel rooms after "an unfortunate incident."

Clouet was not sure if the incident was motivated by racism or horseplay, but added that "too often incidents are covered over by claiming it's only a joke."

Sorry, but I will not take upon myself the guilt incurred by another person. Doesn’t matter if that person is my ancestor, descendant, cousin, or has a skin shade that some consider to be the same as mine.
A story that isn’t even worth making the local news let alone national, but it can be twisted into good anti-white propaganda, so buzzfeed loves it.
Wow, when I was a high schooler, I went to DC for the Model UN. I represented Mauritania very poorly.
Reporting on this tiny, tiny anecodotal incident isn’t intended to be ‘news’ at all. It’s intended to gin things up. The liberal MSM has no interest in journalism, it treats the media as a weapon.
We proceeded to throw them at anyone we could from the balconies. We didn't care, black people, white people, brown people whoever had the misfortune of being an easy target.
Kids!
Good thing they didn't catch us after one hit a black person, that would have made us racist!
I was Yugoslavia, which was fun because we were non-aligned.
I was a high school teacher who took a large group of students to a museum and it also had a balcony. I warned my students before entering of the RULES. I did not include spitting and yes I had one boy spit from the second floor. He hit a janitor. We did get kicked out. I was mortified.
When they have to go to this length to find “racism”, it kinda proves that there really isn’t any.
I played for President Reagan as part of my high school band when he was in town for a speech. Part of that included a trip to the venue which was next to the shopping mall. One of my fellow students brought a can of fart gas at the spencer’s gifts. It got confiscated by my band director before we hit the secret service with the metal detectors!
My first reaction is that if the kid meant to hit a certain person b/c of race, he’s a helluva good shot with the old spittoon.
On second thought, he was at the African-American museum, so odds are any random spit may land on an African-American. Doubt me: do a spot check of racial makeup of visitors at various DC Mall museums, only one has any significant AA presence.
