A white HS student wore an anti Obama t shirt, got threaten and then...

[Genx87]

I think this a good example why dress codes need to be enforced within our school system. I personally believe a uniform is the best option. But political shirts definately shouldnt be worn at school.

So is anyone going to explain how it's racism to beat up a kid because of a POLITICAL shirt?

Because the race of the victim and the attackers was different. And because it gives the "poor, oppressed white guy" poster an excuse to complain about how poor and oppressed he is because of his skin color. Notice the telltale "can you imagine", totally unsubstantiated BS and the whining that followed it...

Yes. Let's take everyone down to the lowest common denominator. Great idea. Let's make sure that all our rules obsequiously cater to the most irrationally sensitive people. Instead of using the "rational person" rule, let's change it so that we make all our decisions based on the stupidest person. That way we'll all stop offending people, yay!

A simple political shirt is not disruptive as long as it is not a profane or discriminatory message. The "NObama" shirt is neither profane nor discriminatory. There is absolutely no reason to ban it, or any similar political clothing, regardless of which side is supported, from schools.

Children go to school to learn, not have a fashion show. This is another example of what happens within schools due to what people wear. If it isnt this it is that kid is wearing cheap clothes, or that kid is wearing red so he must be a blood, or that chick looks like a slut.

One major distraction within the system is what people wear. Eliminate the issue and you eliminate the problems associated with it. Schools are a place of learning. We should take measures within the public school system to make this happen.

lol link?

There isn't a link because it didn't happen.

Obviously the OP didn't read the headline of his own post...

"Student beaten up for wearing political t-shirt "

This was not an attack based on race. BTW - the attack was wrong and action should be taken against the students.

The OP follows the predictable tactic by pointing to any incident that can be found, make a statement racism is equal on both sides so nothing needs to be done about it. Pathetic.

Or, alternately, raise the damn kids properly so that there isn't a problem. No rational person is distracted by a political T-shirt. The problem lies in the idiot who thinks it's distracting, not in the shirt itself.

Somehow I managed to learn just fine in a public school that didn't have uniforms or a dress code to speak of.

The idiots who are distracted by clothes will find other things to distract themselves if uniforms are used. It's not the clothes, it's the idiots.

Cause we all know if it was an anti-hillary t-shirt... the beat down would have been much worse.

Irrelavent, since that is not part of the story. I've seen people get beat downs for showing up at a football game with the opposing teams jersey.

Lots of posts.

LOL @ some of the comments...

Recap = The white student got threats from black students <note the plural and no whites involved> and got beat up by a black student even AFTER he changed the shirt.

I agree with this poster who said "NObama shirt is neither profane nor discriminatory". If that white student wore a shirt that said "OB is a N***ger** then I would understand the anger. I thought the US still have the First Amendment.

Yeah, sure, it wasn't about race, I have a bunch of mansions in swam land that I will give you for a good deal. :disgust:

Oh, btw, I ain't white ..lol

An east Texas teenager is arrested for assault after authorities say he beat up another teen for wearing a political T-shirt to school.

Ryan Oster says a group of black students threatened him for wearing a "NObama" shirt to Robert E. Lee High School in Tyler. Oster says he went to the restroom and took it off, but the threat was still carried out.

The school says the incident is still being investigated. Oster's father says everyone involved in his son's attack should be charged.

Can you imagine a black student wears a No McCain/Palin t shirt and then gets threats and beat up by white students? Who is the real racist? Where is Jessie/Sharpton? When can we start a march? Where is the FBI, Dept of Justice? Where is that white student civil right?

Have these black students systematically gone around beating up white students? If not, then I'd say this action was politically motivated and not racially motivated.

If Jesse and Sharpton are so bad (which they are), why are you trying to follow in their footsteps by turning some random politically motivated attack into a case of racial warfare? If you want to be better than them, I recommend you start acting as such.

just read the title.........is this another one of those cheap "reverse b" kinda thing.........

OP.. you are such a VICTIM!! c'mon everyone, this little boy needs a BIG hug!

EVERYONE IS RACIST!

In the sense that everyone is more comfortable with their own race - it's in the human nature. We're afraid of whatever is different.
The only difference is that white people have been a majority for a while and black people got tired of it.


If you put a nerdy white guy in between a group of 30 black people they are gonna do the same thing i the races were flipped.

I'm assuming the victim was white based on the OP, since I can't see the video.

Like it or not, race is a part of this election and is a very important issue to some people.

Here's what we have:

- Black kids vs. white kid
- Robert E Lee High School (in a southern state with a long history of racial tension)
- Alleged reason was because of a political T-shirt that features a black man

When was the last time a group of kids beat up anyone because he was wearing a political T-shirt in this country?

I think the beating was racially motivated, and the OP is right. If it were a "No McCain" T-shirt wearing black kid who was beat up by a bunch of white kids, Jackson/Sharpton would be all over it. Those parasites feed off racial tension.

That being said, I think the news article was right not to claim it was racially motivated because there's no direct evidence of such, and the authorities are handling the case appropriately.
