A white boy or a black girl would not be suspended in the same way. People view whiteness as morality, and femaleness as powerlessness; a white boy “doesn’t mean any harm” (even though he’s certainly capable of it if he stares hard enough, apparently), and a black girl is entirely incapable of harm (and everything…

Sure, insult my family. That’s cool. No way I'd take offense at that or anything.

The boy says that they were. Who knows if the girl realized it was a staring contest. What should of happened is the teacher should have pulled them aside and explained his staring was making the other student uncomfortable and had him aplogize and move on.

It matters because the U.S. has a loooooong history of punishing black men for staring at white women. See the picture of Emmett Till someone posted.

Why was she scared if they were having a staring contest? Why was she scared ANYWAY they’re just a bunch of kids in school?

Can you please put a trigger warning. Not everyone finds the images of dead black bodies titillating like white people do. Like would you just throw up an image of a white woman looking like that with no warning?

Black person: “I’ve experienced racism before and I know this is racist”

I believe the question you’re looking for is “would he have been suspended?”

Women are useless weaklings unless they are about to be raped, in which case all of their body parts turn to powerful steel and they are able to ward off any physical force?

But, but, but....I thought women were the weaker sex. Where’d this strength come from all of a sudden?

I’m not sure I’d concur that there was “no excuse” for killing a baby in 1787. While foundling hospitals existed, they were hotbeds of abuse and disease. If your child survived childhood disease and a near starvation diet, s/he would be condemned to a life of poverty with no family support network. The very best…

It’s sad that the frequency of mass shootings has created this tradition among hospitals. No one is criticing the solidarity or camaraderie.

Yeah, that part made sense. The part that didn’t was that they seemed so NBD about it all. Like a free abortion would make up for it all.

Flu shot instead of the first dose, it sounds like.

And all y’all bitches said vaccines weren’t dangerous. WHO’S LAUGHING NOW?!

Somewhere a pro-life nutjob is condemning this woman for suing because she should just “accept God’s plan” and shouldn’t be angry that she was blessed with another child.

So, to make up for their epic fuck up, they offered her a free abortion? Did it come with a toaster too? Or at least validated parking?

Oh, I thought “it” was the fetus, and there would be no charge for an abortion.

‘What do you want me to do, fire them?’
