The problem with this story beyond the black kid getting charged is why did the school allow the white kid to walk around with his Nazi jacket?
The school seemed to have no issue with it and then was shocked a black kid knocked him out.
The fight, which occurred in August, unfolded during lunch period at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, Colo., when a white student wearing a green military-style jacket was doing the “T-pose.” The pose is popular among avid video gamers to show dominance but historically has also been used by the Ku Klux Klan to represent a burning cross, according to Douglas County Lt. Lori Bronner.
Bronner told NBC 26 an African-American student saw the white student doing the pose and walked over to confront him.
As the Black student appeared to walk away, he suddenly spun back around and punched the white student in the face, sending the freshman tumbling to the ground. The white student managed to get up, however, grab a landscaping rock and hurl it at the Black student, authorities said. He missed.
In the video, the Black student is seen chasing after the teen in the military jacket and repeatedly kicking him as the student curls up into a ball on the ground. At some point during the attack, Bronner said the white student called the Black student a racial slur.
It was just last month, however, that a racial slur was found scrawled on the school’s gymnasium wall. The racist graffiti was a combination of the N-word and “igloo.” Karl Coleman, one of the few African-American coaches at the predominately white high school, said he felt the vandalism was aimed at them and criticized school leadership for its handling of the situation.
Students interviewed by the newspaper said the white student is known for wearing Nazi symbols, and a review of the student’s Instagram account revealed multiple photos of him sporting Nazi uniforms.
The black kid and white kid were both charged, but frankly, only the white kid needs to be in jail.
Black kids are sent home for having a haircut, but white kids are allowed to be Nazis. That really sounds fair.
Flip the page for the video and I salute this black kid for kicking his ass.
