Still AmeriKKKa???

Still AmeriKKKa

There is currently a debate on this kid who was being bullied by black kids in school because he has a differently shaped nose. So everyone took to social media and it briefly became a stop bullying movement; however, at the same time, the mom was on twitter posting racist things about black people and pictures of them holding up confederate flags. They also started a go fund me account which is now on hold due to the contradictory things the mother was doing online. It was also shown that the mom was just looking to raise money for Christmas gifts and she was not going to do anything to help stop bullying.

            Another thing was that the boy who was being bullied had been calling the boys who did it Niggers before they started bullying him. Neither of them are correct for responding the way they did however, this brings up the subject of racism in the communities. The mother that posted the video got confronted by one of the celebrities after posting these things and after he questioned her she said something along the lines of “I thought all us whites were supposed to stick together”.

            During a time like this, things like this help to show me that racism still exists and is very prevalent in our community, because of a lot of the people, after finding these things out were still in support of the mom and the kid and believed that he was being bullied. On the other hand, there was a lot of people who did not support the things she was doing and deleted the posts about what they thought about this as well. Also, shows that all the way down to kids today people are still passing down racist fundamentals to their white children continuing the cycle of discrimination and racism and this process must be stopped starting with kids. I think if the problem is stopped at the root of kids then when they have kids they won’t continue to pass the things forward and maybe we can begin to change more as people and love people as people and not simply judge people based on their skin color. We have come a long way from where we used to be as a country, however, there is still a big change that needs to happen so that black people can be given the same opportunities and chances as white people in America.
