So do tell what happens when their racist attitude go unchallenged or even supported to when they grow older? What happens when they come to position of power/employer? What happens when they pass on these views to their children because no one said how it is detrimental to the harmony of society and how it dehumanizes people they are sharing a country with based on the pigmentation and certain physical characteristics?
This shit needs to be publicly rebuked and these people need to be shown how damaging their public show of racism is.
We have enough insane people in power, we don't need to breed more of them.
Then let them grow FFS. Do you think doing something like this is acceptable? Tolerable? Should it be ignored because they're children? Don't contradict yourself, if you want them to grow and mature then show them why what they're doing is wrong.
God damn, being racist is never the right answer. For so many young people to be blatantly hateful is sad.
....wow... There's just no reasoning with some people.
Ugh this thread is just terrible...
I can guarantee you that some of these 15 year olds are having sex. If you're old enough to suck a dick, you're old enough to know right from wrong and not be a racist dipshit.

I feel bad for the kids tbh. Most of them are most likely just parroting the things they hear from their parents. Maybe when they are older they will come to their senses.
Lol I lived in goose creek sc. The high school he goes to is where all the rich white kids go, so no surprise he would say shit like that. He lives in a upper class bubble.
Haha. Mensa member.

Shame them and maybe they learn that they are doing wrong.
to imply she did it because of their race is where it becomes racist . She obviously had no qualms raising a black man. Why would she walk across the street to avoid someone of color .

It's obvious these people have never been properly shamed or educated about their brash racism. They've been coddled and allowed this thought process for years.
Maybe if you read where he explained why she did it?
She knew young Obama, she did not know these other black people
Obama wasn't saying she was a filthy racist, he was saying she acted according to the social mores of the time. Still do not see how using personal experience to explore deeper seated societal prejudice makes a person racist.
that's where you come in, devo.
There's a joke here, but it's too easy

Please, tell me the mitigating context of
The color black draws in heat. Obama is merely trying to save on his heating bill.
Clearly!
Please, tell me the mitigating context of
The mitigating context is that putting in the name and school (which isn't done here to its credit) of the kid puts that kid and other kids in danger.
Kids and adults need to learn that it's NOT cool to go online and say things they wouldn't say in public. They posted these things publicly, I don't feel sorry for them.
Can't be because Alabama doesn't have the internet/computers/power/running water.
Cause I have 3 of those!
My mother is half white/half Japanese and my father is black, and both of them harbor views that are arguably racist to each other and to me, despite the fact that they married one another and had several mixed children.
Raising a blood related black child, and avoiding black people on the street because society suggests that they're more likely to attack/rob you aren't mutually exclusive.
Hello kettle
No no no, there is no reasoning with some people. Its just kids being kids man. With racist ass nbombs.

I love how people are calling racism just a "stupid thing". If you continue to let people like this go by without consequences then it would be to late for them change.
No internet.

Imagine what'd happen if some of these people were to join public service such as and not limited to Police force?

The information is/was already public. The blog isn't to blame here. If someone were to try and do something to this person then I would feel some sympathy, but the blog still wouldn't be at fault.

Look on the bright side. The Republican party now has a head start on compiling next election's donor list.
What empathy or context can put threatening to hang someone because of their race into a better light?
lol it actual just proves my point dude
white people = racists . Awsome Obama .
Who do white people even walk down the street when they have to cross it every time they see someone they don't know infront of them. What happens when there is someone else across the street they don't know ? What then ?
What if two white people who don't know each other are walking towards each other and then cross the street to avoid each other. Then what ? What happens ? Does the world end ?

I'm saddened these folks are so young.
As I'm going through I'm like okay not too many from South Carolina. My state getting better.....then I got to page 7-8. Damn!

As a general reminder, please remember not to make the conversations personal. I know it can be hard, but there's no reason to risk getting yourself banned over someone else's ignorance.
I don't doubt that racism is often something that is explicitly taught, but it is also something that kids can pick up on their own. The doll experiments that were done in the 1930s and 40s were redone in 2010 and there were a couple articles about them on CNN.
And perhaps unsurprisingly for those of us who are aware of the way kids can absorb racist messages from both media and society generally generally, while both black and white kids expressed a preference for the white dolls, the preference was not nearly as strong among the black children. I don't think it is a stretch to think that black parents explicitly talking to their kids about race helps with this.
So, I wouldn't presume that every parent of these kids is directly responsible for their stupid comments or would support them if they knew about them.
Edit: And here's the AC360 thing.

To be fair Mel made some great movies, so a least people had a reason to like him in the first place.

You're reaching like Dhalsim, man.
This is pretty funny... but at the same time, an anonymous person on tumblr is the judge, jury and executioner. Several of these people have already deleted their tweets or twitter accounts, so outside of a screenshot, there's really no verifiable proof that some of these comments were made, and a twitter screenshot can be doctored pretty easily.
If black people got mad at every instance of racism they see, we wouldn't have time to do anything else. We have learned to let a lot of shit slide.
I can't stop crossing the street ! do you know how hard it is to post when I have to keep crossing the street ? Oh my god I just want to go home but there are all these strangers out here in this world !

I don't see a lot of democrats/independents calling Obama racist stuff, but then again I don't follow politics as closely as other people.
