Thanks Nipkiri but I’m not white. As a result we have to have discussions about what to do when (not if) he is stopped by the police, keeping his hands out of his pockets while in the store, WALK AWAY when there is a fight or altercation that does not involve him.

I drove my 1985 900Turbo over 300K miles trouble free until the odometer broke. My father in law drove it another 5 years until it passed away. I changed the oil religiously every 3K miles. Not sure he was that diligent.  

White people sure do get sensitive when racism is discussed. I wonder why? It’s a mystery for the ages.

 I, too, would have taken the opportunity to make it a teachable moment. As much as ppl want to sweep it under the rug, kids today, of every race, SHOULD, know the history of racism and of the horror black men went through at the hands of white men decades ago because its factual and a part of Americas truth. I…

Let me help you understand my context.

What’s wrong with me?

You’re a racist, JerriAntoniaBlank.

I’m glad you have the luxury of calling me a racist. Let me make this as clear as possible:

What an amazingly racist racist you are, JerriAntoniaBlank. You are worried about the poor, psychologically scarred kids while the father realises that if they do not take this lesson to heart early then his son could end up hanging from a tree one day. It may not be his white friends who are hanging him, but the…

As I said before, these are my son’s friends. They own rifles, ride bulls, carry pocket knives, wear camo, hunt and fish. Most of their parents voted for Trump. We are pretty much the exact opposite. Despite our differences, they spend just as much time at my home as my son spends at theirs. Their friendship…

Plus it’s a part of history. Isn’t history taught in school every day.

His kids are going to be just fine. If you have kids it’s your kids I’m concerned about. He should be proud. You are more concerned about the white kids feelings than the safety of the black boy. That’s common in he good ole usa. I bet you think it was selfish of Mrs. Tills to fight for justice for her son. After all,…

Bingo!

I understand your point. The animal element was really the icing on the cake. Now I’m starting to tell stories like my son. We don’t get the whole story at once, just bits and pieces at a time over dinner and gatherings.

LMAO. Holy shit. Sorry, it is funny, but not funny. If your concern was really alligators in the pond, then I know you could have found a better way than this to deter those boys. Jesus. LOL.

Blood $$$$ for her descendants. She doesn’t give a flying fuck if she lied, bet she voted for Trump too.

“When Carolyn herself [later] lost one of her sons, she thought about the grief that Mamie must have felt and grieved all the more.” Let me guess, her son was being falsely accused of harassing a pure white woman and subsequently tortured and murdered? If not, your grief is NOTHING compared to Mamie’s grief and the…

Exactly. “That case went a long way toward ruining her life,” is how a lot of these people choose to not see the people who really suffered.

I don’t understand how she can live with herself. Holy shit.
