Are you suggesting that this behavior is that of a well adjusted well-parented child? Racial epithets, profanity at his elders, threats and near-violence?
A well parented kid doesn't do this. I don't need to know what they did after the fact to punish him - it never should have happened.
First, I actually know of a kid that had parents that were like you claim to be that was a complete shithead. They also had a daughter, but she was killed in a car wreck and it just completely fucked the kid up from that point on and nothing they tried got the kid to straighten up. Not sure how he turned out as an adult, last I knew he'd gotten into drugs and was hanging out with some other shitheads in the area.
I know way too many people who act exactly like you "back in my day our parents/teachers/etc would not have tolerated that" who were complete total fuckups when they were teenagers and into their 20s (DUIs, got into fights, wrecked cars, would call women sluts and try to get in their pants, generally were assholes, and over time became just like their parents copping this same tough love mantra that clearly worked so well...).
Getting back on topic...
You're assuming he has parents in his life. Maybe they were killed and he's been passed around to various foster homes? Maybe he has a legitimate mental health issue and was on medication until recently when his insurance company decided to stop paying for the medication he was on or the drug company jacked the price up or who knows? See I can make rampant speculation based on pretty much nothing as well. And that's all you're doing.
Without knowing more of the situation, I absolutely am not suggesting anything other than maybe you should actually find that out before ranting about it and condemning the parents along with the kid.
Even if I were to agree with your theory, I'd guess its just as likely that he has some incredibly strict parents that put so much pressure on their kid that it has given him potentially a fullblown mental disorder, or at least led to a mental breakdown.
Much of the parenting you're describing had little to nothing to do with teaching kids right and wrong and was more about the parents punishing the kid for having embarrassed them. And spare me the bullshit that the racist part is worse now. It's still a big fucking problem but it used to be even worse. I can't even fathom how you can think otherwise unless you're just plain trying to delude yourself to prop up your whole point.
Of course you don't because you've already passed judgement, who cares about knowing more. Maybe this kid is a piece of shit bully and this is just one in a long string of shit like this, I don't know and neither do you. I'm not even disagreeing with the people saying the kid needs to be made to legitimately apologize, or have to help the teacher until he does. That seems like a perfectly fitting punishment. Wanting to punish everyone else and going on grandiose rants about society in general is ridiculous.
I am certainly not defending the kid I'm just sick and tired of the fucking horseshit degenerative mental disorder that people keep exhibiting where they don't even attempt to realize how their thinking is not supported by actual reality. It's the same thinking that gives us MAGA and unmitigated bullshit like that, where people pine for "the better days" that never existed as it does in their minds (or even worse does, and they legitimately want to be able to be horrible people like was more accepted back then). That is enabling wide scale harm to millions if not billions of people. I take far greater issue with that than some punkass kid being a dick. One is a singular situation that needs nothing more than the kid to be punished in a fitting way that helps him learn what an asshole he was and to not be like that. The other has the societal ramifications that you're claiming, only you don't see that the side you're choosing leads to more of that and not less.
Are you kidding?? GTFO. There's no denying that this absolutely happened back in the day. The problem now is that the pussification of figures of authority (parents, teachers, etc.) and the useless need of creating a "safe space" for these ungrateful brats has exacerbated the problem. I see this sort of behavior as way more predominant than when I was in school. Let's not pretend that the extent of this type of behavior has always been there as I'm afraid we may start to think of it as normal. Sigh...
No you GTFO. I really shouldn't bother responding since your post is chockfull of dogwhistle terms showing that you're absolutely an asshole and a massively ignorant one on top of that. Pussification? If there was ever a word or phrase that fully shows someone is a douchebag by using it, it is that. Also nice way to completely derail your point "these damn kids need to learn some respect, but everyone now is too much of a pussy!" Yeah you're real respectful yourself.
Uh, so yeah you don't have any idea what safe spaces even are. But then people who go around yelling about safe spaces tend to be morons that rarely know what they're talking about on most subjects (this forum is definitely evidence of that).
Of course you see it as more predominant than when you were in school. Do you understand how the brain works? When you were in school you
were a shithead teenager (just like pretty much everyone else) and would not have been concerned with stuff like this. Chances are you'd have been one of the other students either laughing or doing nothing. I don't know, maybe you would've been one to run to the office and get the principal. Even now stuff like this is absolutely rare, so it is ridiculous for you to be acting like this is clear evidence of the deterioration of society that you want to believe so strongly. And simply, you do know that now you're waaaaaaaay more likely to be made aware of situations like this than when you were younger? Even going back 10 years the coverage of stuff like this was not even remotely close. So you see stuff like this on Youtube more because, Youtube and social media is prevalent now. 10 years ago it wasn't, let alone when you were a kid probably decades before that.
First, you're taking one single situation and trying to project that across an entire generation, is straight up bullshit. You don't even know anything more than this quite short video. You don't know how the kid was punished. You don't know if the kid of his own volition went back and apologized to the teacher. You don't know if it is someone that has actual problems and just lashed out at one of the few people he could. But you want to condemn whole generations for it. You don't think that is incredibly fucked up?
The thing is, you want to act like it was so much less in the past, when it used to be worse stuff. It was not that long ago they used to quite routinely go to fucking lynching parties. And I know about way to much bullying ("smear the queer") that has always been rampant, and even though it has actually gotten a lot less prevalent with time, its still a major issue. And that's the thing. That's why people make even small examples a major issue because we've been slowly getting better about going "this is not acceptable behavior". You're straight up wrong that we're actually getting worse about this. Well maybe not in the past couple of years, where, thanks to ignorant backlash about "PC culture", safe spaces, and other stuff that you don't understand but for some reason wholesale buy whatever alarmist nonsense gets fed to you by whatever media you follow, people like you has actually enabled a growing minority of unrepentant assholes to be very vocal about their hatred of pretty much everything and everyone, but especially groups that were already suffering systemic inequalities.
Probably wouldn't call him either. Not really offended by cracker. I would be inclined to give him some revisionist history about the term though.
With any luck maybe they'll upload the video of you lecturing them about the history of the term cracker. I'm sure a white man lecturing on racist terms to a black person won't at all come off as racist. But you'll be popular on Breitbart and Stormfront though. But then, maybe that's your goal?
