but I am a fire-breathing champion of civil rights. [/Vic]

I don't know if you all sat in the corner in high school reading your WIRED magazine, but fights happen on a weekly basis at high schools. How many of those kids are charged with attempted murder?

Stop crying about my title. If you think what happened to these kids is justified you might as well plan to retire in some third world nation. The rewards are much better than Florida and whenever you pick up the newspaper you'll be reading about the minority being sent off to long-term prison sentences by a judge from the majority for pity crimes.

So you're saying fights are all very common...so what compelled you to do make a post about a fight?

Originally posted by: InflatableBuddhaThe attempted murder charges are bullshit, but the worst thing is the lack of hate crime charges against the three white kids who originally hung the nooses.

While that's not appropriate, they didn't actually string the black kids up, the black kids drew their conclusions, and so did eveybody else. But that's just stupid, for you to come up with that idea, there is something called freedom of speech, and unless the black kids sue, or get attacked, or attempted to get strung up, etc. that's just a pathetic idea.

And no, I'm not racist, sorry to spoil your day on that one.

Holy shite, you are thick in the head. I am all for freedom of speech, as long as it doesn't impinge on the freedoms of others. The nooses were a racist threat - symbolic of the hangings that racist whites exacted on black people in the South decades ago.

What would you think if those same teens were spray-painting swastikas on the school or publicly posting artwork containing child pornography? Neither of those would be acceptable as "free speech".

Quit defending the racist bigots.

:laugh:

While this is a pretty bad story, comparing it to things like poor medical care, no running water, and other third world situations, is just absurd.

Your solution to racism is genocide?
