Taunted for being Black, a student fought back, civil rights complaint says. The 30-second fight derailed her life.

Anomaly or not, it is what happened.

You said the same thing about Jussie Smollett.

LOL

 

[whoisit]

I smell another lawsuit. And see the child had questionable raising.
Name calling is done on both sides, my grands are called names like, blue eyed devil, cracker, hunky, nazi, etc.
Sounds like she had major mental problems long before she got offended by an ignorant kid.

 

[Godboy]

Excusing it already?

Excusing what, where, how?

“I told you,” Autumn Roberson-Manahan said, her voice quivering, “to stop using that word.”

What is she, the self-appointed word police?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The solution is easy. Have all white students referred to as the n word. Have all black students referred to as the other n word. Call them all Nazis. See if that makes them feel better.

Quote me.

Not your call.

Whose call is it?

 

[pknopp]

Whose call is it?

Those whose history gives them the right to make the call.

IOW, no one.

This is in 2022, unbelievable.

Keep telling us though there is no racism in America anymore, all of that ended in the 60s.

Struth what do you think about this story?

It's sad that these things are happening nowdays.

But claims that there is institutional racism are unfounded.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Let me ask the OP a question.

Every once in a while, I'll get stuck in traffic, and some kid will be nearby in a car with his "music" wailing out.
The "music" will usually be some form of Rap, and there have been times I have heard the 'N' word.
Is it ok for a white kid to be broadcasting this to the world?

In 2022 the word “n@@@@r” is not acceptable for whites to use

The school should have taken disciplinary action for the sake of both the black girl and the white boy

Because along with skills such as how to correctly wear a condom, kids should learn proper manners

The white kid was wrong and should be made to understand that

This is however just the kind of racial tension obama and the libs are hoping for

Whites are being forced to accept racial slights based on their skin color

and its causing a backlash that plays into the hands of liberals in the media and the democrat party

This is one of many incidents of how desegregation was a bad idea.

Wrong. Blacks just need to learn to accept whites using the same term they themselves use daily.

Bring back paddling and you will get control back. When I went to high school, you had to choose licks or a 3 day suspension if you were late 3 times in a semester. But then again we had a smoking area.

I dont quite see it that way

And insult is an insult based on intent

And the N-word is almost always intended as an insult when whites say it

The problem is that civility and politeness is not expected from black people

Blacks hurl angry anti-white and anti asian slang all the time and libs never utter a word of criticism

If its not an insult when blacks say it, its not an insult when whites say it.

Period.

Reports of racist bullying at Slaton High School are part of a pattern of discrimination in and around Lubbock, Texas, civil rights groups say. They’re filing complaints and calling on the federal government to investigate.

SLATON, Texas — The Black girl’s hands were shaking as she approached a white classmate in gym class.

“I told you,” Autumn Roberson-Manahan said, her voice quivering, “to stop using that word.”


Autumn, a 17-year-old senior at Slaton High School, said she’d asked the boy four days in a row to stop saying the N-word in class. And for four consecutive days, according to Autumn and a half-dozen other students later interviewed by the school principal, the boy had disregarded her pleas.

He’d said the slur while talking trash on the basketball court, Autumn recalled: “Oh! I’m ballin’ on y’all n----s.” And while cleaning up at the end of class: “These dumb n----s left the balls out again.” That day, Oct. 27, he’d said it again, smirking after having dribbled past a student and hitting a jump shot, Autumn said.

By then, Autumn, a straight-A student and one of only two dozen Black students at her small-town high school outside Lubbock, had been complaining about racial harassment involving three other classmates since the second week of school, according to interviews with Autumn and her family, messages they sent to administrators and a civil rights complaint filed Monday with the U.S. Department of Education. In September, she’d secretly recorded two boys in class calling her the N-word. When the alleged harassment continued, Autumn told administrators she was struggling to focus on her schoolwork. Her parents tried to intervene, demanding to speak with the principal and writing to the superintendent.

But the racist comments didn’t stop, according to the federal complaint.

Taunted for being Black, a student fought back, civil rights complaint says. The 30-second fight derailed her life.

Struth what do you think about this story?

Let us proceed on the assumption that some ignorant kid in school insisted on using the n word. Let us also assume that he did so while having every intention of being a racist and trying to taunt a black student.

Under those circumstances, I’d say he is a racist.

The school’s inaction is arguably negligence but not necessarily racist.

You really do tend to overuse and misuse the term “racism.”

Intent can only be determined by thought police tactics and assumptions.

Not if we apply common sense

If we have the whole story then the white kid was using a racial slur

Thats not good for the black girl or for him

Much like the events of the “Summer of Love” black riots followed by the 6-1 conservative protest, the obama’s of this world are going keep prodding whites and hoping for a reaction that they can exploit

This white kid needs to learn self control
