He's pretty influential. I don't know if you'd want to do that. He may be the first SJW president soon.

Wow.

In any event, a very unfortunate situation to say the least but I'm glad the kid is ok.

I didn't even know about the father's criminal history until I read it here. So I guess that means that, now that I know it, I'm supposed to shut up about what a dolt I think the mother is...

Yeah, like that's gonna happen.

I'm white. Sadly some whites live up to those stereotypes.

Oh well, here we are today, I have some old Archie Bunker type relatives...they'll be dead in 10 years. These idiots won't.

Then what?
Those "minority" people you're talking about will wind up with nothing in life IMHO.

If you have ever worked in a large group of mixed races, you soon learn that many of the most racist are black.

Enough with blaming "the parents." I blame the mother-- she's the one who was there.

Oddly enough I had assumed the parents were white. Seriously if you manage to lose your kid into the gorilla exhibit resulting in the death of the gorilla, I kinda feel like it would be wise for the authorities to spend some time investigating things. Its not racism, its called thinking your parenting skills might have issues.
