This is an example of a REACTION to racism.
Yes, it's dysfunctional ... but so is our country and centuries of racism that produced these ignorant people.
Both the White girls and the Black girls were ignorant and dysfunctional.
The white girl called them the N-Word and offenders in this thread either think they should have the right to do it... or they're right by doing it.
You don't "create" racism.
Racism is a system that denies rights, goods, and services based on ethnicity.
It's how this country was formed and it's our darkest sin.
Blacks can't be "racist" because they don't have a SYSTEM.
But there's another issue here (besides ignorance, violence, hubris, and immaturity)... and that's
Narcissism.
The country is in an extremely Narcissistic phase ... one that we haven't seen since the 20s before the stock market crash. F. Scott Fitzgerald's American Myth of
, "The Great Gatsby" is a mirror of this present age. I worry about it's going to take to restore compassion.
The last 30 years of mean-spirited, regressive politics created this.
We've seen the greatest redistribution of wealth in history... and that money didn't go to either group sitting in that park. It went to the top 1 percent ... and that's the country.
I get so sick of people with low self-esteem watching television all day ... trying to listen to Rush or Fox News to get out of their depression... and hearing rich pundits tell poor people that the other is to blame. The education system in this country is horrible. They want us ALL dumbed down.
In the past 20 years, Americans have lost 14 I.Q. points.
Just think what you could do if you were 14 points higher in intelligence
... now think about how much harder life would be if you were 14% LESS intelligent.
That's what "No Child Left Behind" and "Common Core" has done.
Some may smile about the CIA dumping Crack into black neighborhoods in the 80s... but now that the Afghan poppy fields have been taken, we're seeing an explosion in Heroin addiction in white neighborhoods. The Governor of Bucolic Vermont declared a "State of Emergency" around Heroin addiction.
You can't hurt your arm and not expect to experience the pain throughout your whole body.
When we push one segment of the population, eventually we feel it in the rest. Somehow, some way we feel it. There's more whites on Food Stamps than anyone else.
Until Blacks, Whites, Mexicans, Filipinos, Chinese, Indians... et al ... decide to stop allowing the Corporate Media to pull their emotional puppet strings... they'll all continue to keep being played and their quality of life will continue to sink.
