Mungwater 593 Posted June 1, 2013 http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/31/us/ohio-graduation-scuffle/index.html?c=homepage-t The photo made me laugh, but I have to ask, what kind of example are people setting for their kids? I feel bad for them.. Also, I know it's been around awhile, but who really celebrates graduation from kindergarten? Who cares? Just go on to first grade, it's not like its a big deal, you still have at least 12 more grades to go.. Felt the same way for folks who went over the top for high school, still have college to go if you want a fighting chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,788 Posted June 1, 2013 First off: Racist or not, who DIDN'T know exactly what "Demographic" was involved in this? Worse than that, this isn't the first or even second, third time that a similar fight has broken out at such a 'graduation'. - With the same 'urban' types. And: At what point does racism become nothing more than an ovservation of a collection of consistent anectodes? And yeah: Totally agree such 'graduations' do NOT need to happen.

That being said, I was surprised at the seriousness with which some parents have taken middle school graduation. I've seen extended families with big posters with their kid's name on it... really? 8th grade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And: At what point does racism become nothing more than an ovservation of a collection of consistent anectodes? It's about people who have class and people who don't. Race don't matter. Blacks simply have disprortional scum. That sucks for the majority of blacks, but it makes guessing which demographic was involved in the "Kingergarden Graduation Braul" a lot easier to figure out.

jerryskids 6,579 Posted June 5, 2013 Another brawl between two women, this time at an elementary school talent show: ST. CLOUD, Fla. - A school talent show turned into a brawl between angry mothers, and police say one of the women choked the other in front of children. St. Cloud police said what happened between Latisha James and Jessica Tyler was out of control. It started Friday at their children's talent show at Lakeview Elementary School when, according to police, Tyler asked James to sit down because James was videotaping and blocking her view. From there, things got heated. Tyler said James "grabbed her by her neck with one hand and began punching her multiple times." In the 911 call, however, James said she was attacked after she accidentally bumped into a child. Police said the women were swearing and causing a scene in front of children and another parent had to intervene to break up the fight. The case remains one mom's word against another, but police believe James instigated the fight. By the end, though, both women were attacking each other, witnesses said. Both women claim to be victims, but James was arrested on charges of battery after police talked to witnesses. St. Cloud police have recommended that Tyler also be charged for battery, but her case will be reviewed by the State Attorney's Office. Tyler spoke with Local 6 off camera and said she is most upset because she feels she was a victim, and now she can't attend her daughter's fifth-grade graduation on Thursday. That's because neither mom is allowed on school property after the principal asked police to have them trespassed. http://www.clickorlando.com/news/moms-get-in-brawl-at-childrens-talent-show/-/1637132/20426994/-/1595w6f/-/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phurfur 70 Posted June 5, 2013 Sure, we wouldn've gotten the Chinks to harvest our cotton instead! You don't hear them whining 200 years after the fact. According to the U.S. census report for that last year before the Civil War, there were nearly 27 million whites in the country. Some eight million of them lived in the slaveholding states. The census also determined that there were fewer than 385,000 individuals who owned slaves (1). Even if all slaveholders had been white, that would amount to only 1.4 percent of whites in the country (or 4.8 percent of southern whites owning one or more slaves).
