  1. These people are pathetic.

     

    Who would be offended by the photos? People in denial?

     

    It never ceases to amaze me the situations that innocent kids are forced to go back to.... And I just see it from the educational perspective.

     

    I wish schools had the freedom to publicize incidents like this and educate the general public (who is clueless to these injustices for the most part).

     

    So much should be done to this ignorant fool parents... It makes my blood boil.

  2. I can't remember where I heard or read this, but at the moment, I can't think of a better solution...

     

    "You know what's going to solve the problem of racism? Sex. To clarify: interracial sex. When we bang each other enough that people start looking like Tiger Woods with a little bit of black, a little white, and a little asian in them - that's when racism will end."

  3. It all starts with the schools. Kids get educated and then they come home to make their homes better for the future. Happens in every community that I know of. If the kids in the inner city can't get educated then how can they come home to make their homes better?

     

    There has to be a partnership between school and home. Schools play a big role, but the parent/family role is vital. There are some success stories where kids overcame horrible home lives because of a teacher or even more often because of an inner drive within the child. But there are far more stories of kids who falls right back into the cycle of poverty/bad choices/etc. in spite of the opportunities that a good education offers - and often because of the examples they see at home.

  4. "We don't care if you protest, just make sure you do it how we want you to."

     

    As long as it is peaceful I support the right to do it. In no way, shape, or form do I support the violent or destructive protests. I don't support the riots. I don't support standing in the middle of the interstate. I'm good with the peaceful act of kneeling or sitting.

    However, just because I'm good with the act doesn't mean I can't give an opinion on the protest itself. I find the socks offensive.

  5. Good stuff here.

     

    I agree with him: The way the white animals were treated in those situations was wrong! IMO they should have been shot on the spot, not taken to Burger King or permitted to gnaw on another person's face.

     

    I agree with him: It's going to take real integration... housing, workplace, and education.

     

    I agree with him: Don't give a handout because a person is black, but don't hold it against him.
