When black kid is bullied by a white kid it's automatically assumed to be a hate crime. But, if it's the other way around then the white kid is only getting what he deserves. Thanks for making that clarification for us Eric. What would we do without you to enlighten us?
Where do you see that in
this article?
So Eric, I take it you are against equal standing under the law...and rather you prefer preferential treatement to some...whoever the goverment deems "victim groups?"
And where do you figure that from what I said? I said I was undecided.
And that by the very people who like to claim victim status anytime it is convenient for them but would deny it to anyone else. And, I they are the ones who are always crying 'racist.'
And you continue to run off with this stuff neither the article, nor anyone here said.
Don't you see that you're doing the exact same thing you're criticizing some imaginary "they" for. Someone else is being unfairly "favored" over some group you're defending. You see this everywhere, including where it is not even being said.
(Have you two checked your Notifications?)
Slid right over the racial aspects, didn't he?
Because the legislation in question is not just about race; that's just the example used by the article's title. It mentions "overweight" as well.
It also says :
If a schoolyard bully is a straight black male and his target is another straight black male where does that leave the victim in the eyes of Attorney General Eric Holder? What about two female students of the same sexual orientation and race?
So it's actually not just about white males being slighted, even though that is the unfortunate choice of example for the title.
The "heterosexual white male student with no disabilities", (even if bullied for being "overweight") is not apart of any of those groups, so that's why he would be left out in any of these cases the DOJ wants to enforce.
I have never defended anything like that, and I'm tired of you all presuming something like that.
The above DOJ position put together with their disposition of the New Black Panthers case and the instructions from Holder not to enforce civil rights claims against minorities, We are looking at the most racist administration in the last 50 years, maybe longer.
OK, well, Sag did not ask me what I thought about all the other things Holder has done in the past "put together" with this, and which I have not followed, and have never defended. So I didn't "slide" past anything.
I don't know why these departments and other figures are focusing on particular "victim groups" now (
whichever ones), when many of the issue (such as "bullying", which is commanding so much attention now) is so much more broad than the groups they outline, and I get tired of it too, because it often becomes straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel, and just provides fuel for the "backlash mentality" of others to claim to be the "true" discriminated against groups.
So I said that it sounds like some political agenda, and not a genuine thorough addressing of the problem of bullying. What else do you want from me?
If all this stuff angers you all so, then write your concerns to Holder, or whatever reps can bring it to him. If you think that's futile, then fine, but accusing me or others here over some political figure's double standards won't fix the problem.
