A school official in Fresno, California was suspended after video surfaced of him telling a student, “I just don’t like the black kids,” KGO-TV reported.

Students at Scandinavian Middle School were reportedly repeating Vice Principal Joseph Defillipo’s remark on campus after the footage went online. Others downloaded it onto their phones.

Another potential cross-thread listing. Could have gone in Damned Republicunts but this works even better.

Ron Paul: Congressional Black Caucus opposes war because they want food stamps

Never can forget he's a southerner.

Kentuckistan is not part of the South, buddy.

Yeah, it is. It was a slave state that didn't have the balls to join the confederacy.

Like their good neighbors in Tennessee.

Are "Republicans" a gene pool?

Republicunts are pond scum in the gene pool.

Are "Republicans" a gene pool?

Possibly... “Obedience to traditional authority:” A heritable factor underlying authoritarianism, conservatism and religiousness

Texas students flash ‘White Power’ signs during basketball game against mostly-black high school

What is a "white power sign"? A fist holding a can of Bud Light?

Can we say that there's an uptick in racism, or is it just that everyone has a smart phone these days, and you can post a video on youtube inside the span of five minutes (where it could potentially get millions of views, and even wind up on the news if its controversial enough)?

So then, should we really concern ourselves with these isolated incidents (keeping in mind, in a nation of over 330 million people, these isolated events are, quite frankly, statistically insignificant, in themselves not representative of any sort of trend). At best, anecdotal reports like this can be legitimately used to provide an example of disturbing trends, but they have to be accompanied by studies (with statistical evidence) that shows a trend does indeed exist. Otherwise, it's just more b/s to keep us preoccupied with irrelevant chatter, while income inequality grows, public services get privatized, jobs are shipped overseas, and our quality of life steadily declines.

Stop drinking the Kool Aid folks!
