My opinion - It was extremely racist. I agree that most likely had the child been white, she never would have been cuffed. My opinion - you are a racist. A closet racist in acute denial.
I believe that some people who profess to not being racist just do not realize that there is this element of how s/he thinks and responds to situations is inherently racist within their personality. It's just a comfort level, I suppose. But it is racist nonetheless. And, until people start truly recognizing that racism does indeed exist within and make attempts to right the behavior, then they will always have racist tendencies.
There are some people here who exhibit this so blatantly it's scary. "I'm not a racist." Yet, go on to say she prefers the company of whites. "I'm not a racist." But, goes on to back up the former poster. How the hell can you not harbor some racism if you are white and prefer the company of whites, and the other way around? It's elemental, for cryin' out loud.
And, making excuses about cultures is specious. I am no more comfortable hanging out with white crackheads than I am with black ones.
I think alot of our society's social problems stem from poverty. Without a doubt. But, if you look around so many poverty stricken inner city people are black. They don't choose to be poor. In fact, most are born into poverty. Getting out of it takes a certain exceptional strength of character that anyone, white or black, would have to exhibit. But, my point is that because most inner city poverty is indeed black, whites tend to blame their blackness, their race, rather than the poverty. You don't hear whites railing against white trash very often, except in joking situations, usually.
So, what do the bushie deathcult morons doing? They're cutting all manner of social services. Now that's really helpful. NOT I would venture a guess that if we had a black president, s/he would be less inclined to cut these services, across the board, wherein all poor, black, white, latino, asian, etc. would benefit. I would sure like the opportunity to see what a black, latino, asian, etc president would, in fact, do. But, we are a long way off from electing anyone other than a white male. Not even a woman can get elected to the highest office in our land. That is racism, folks. RACISM But, I digress, though not by much.
This little girl was throwing a tantrum. Kids do that from time to time. Calling in the cops, instead of social workers or psychologists, maybe even getting medical help, first would have been appropriate. But, given that she was black, I guess they thought that it would be ok to just cuff the kid. Lousy uncontrollable darkie, anyway. Damn straight it was racist.
I hope her parents sue the crap out of the school and the police department. That kid likely is experiencing nightmares now. At the very least, you can be sure she is going to be terrified of white cops.
Now, like whipsy suggested, I am controlling my "beast". But, only by a thread. MM, you are a racist, scary, fascist-loving sob. You opened this thread for one reason - to argue with anyone who may disagree. You apparently thrive on being a lousy and contentious dickhead, who posts inflammatory and people bashing articles over and over and over. You are a disgrace.
