Well, I don't think the specifics much matter to the woman who was beaten.

It was only a matter of time especially when you have a President that demonizes a whole segment of society.


Yeah, these attacks never happened while Obama was President.

Trump sure has a lot of power. He can make a person who is likely a Democrat attack another person. No wonder Russia wanted him in the White House.
Did you read the article?

Ruiz and her husband had met with the school’s vice principal over concerns that their son was threatened by other students who allegedly chanted, “All Mexicans should go back behind the wall.”

Where do you think these students got that little nugget of an idea from ?

Doesn’t matter. People use black and African-American interchangeably. New Jersey is the state with the 3rd highest black immigrant population.

Yea but children are mean as hell sometimes. If they didn’t like the child, they would have found something to torment him over.

That may be true but do we really need a President with such dangerous rhetoric & hostility towards a segment of society.
It doesn't help.

Shocking as it is to you, these kinds of things happened during previous administrations.

That’s strange...Passaic is nearly 3/4ths Hispanic. This story isn’t really adding up right.

The specifics are kinda nebulous though.

I’m trying to imagine African American hostility to “Mexicans” when those African Americans choose to live in a city where 3 in 4 people are Hispanic. It doesn’t make sense. The 13 year old essentially lives in an area where they’re the minority, in a world where they’ve known nothing but being around Latinos.

It’s not adding up. Something in this story is missing.
