MODERATORS
From actually reading the story it doesn't appear to be anything racist at all, even though even the article tries to bend it that way like there is no tomorrow
The guy apparently has a personal beef with the super intendant die to something that happened between the super intendant and his daughter.
Sure, the guy is in the wrong here, but i see no racism beyond "well the guy is white, sonhe must be a racist!"
Yes, there are loads of racists out there but just marking anything racist because two races were involved is not helping IMHO
But this is lemmy, so the majority will feel they confidently know exactly why the guy did it, and the rest of us are just dumb. Even though we all had access to the same article, and only us dumb ones read it.
Sounds like a bullied girl that was being assaulted fought back, only to face expulsion for it. Then the superintendent rolled his eyes at the bullying in her hearing.
The guys "personal beef" is that the principal is black. He's using bullying as a lie and an excuse to cover for his racism.
If there's a policy issue that is properly dealt with in writing, not grabbing someone at a graduation ceremony.
Was that specifically said somewhere or are you just filling in the blanks
Was it said somewhere what his personal beef was?
Yes, it’s because his daughter was being bullied. Fought back and was punished for it but they didn’t punish the people bullying her
Well, it's a good guess, given the country we live in. Is the bullying stuff corroborated/fact checked?
Edit further I agree, making a public scene like this is not appropriate, regardless of any personal reason. He could have just instructed his daughter to walk right by and not stop.
The article didn’t bother with it because it wants to paint a picture of racism
There isn’t enough evidence for us to believe it was racist
Evidence for that? Like Wikipedia says,
