    Never watched the video but if you racially insult anyone and get slapped about for it then you got what you deserve.

    Angered me. Not due to the bullying, which is a regular occurrence that I've witnessed first hand, but more to the fact that the mother filmed it and everything that has come out as a result.

    Sums up the internet now. One pish, attention seeking video after another.

    I see Mark Ruffalo has now tracked down a video on twitter of a black kid talking about being bullied now. ffs! Even invited him to a movie premier as well.

    Apparently the go fund me was set up by someone else and the person who said us whites should stick together was not actually the mum but a troll/someone after money. Everyone was pretty quick to turn on him though. Does he really seem like the kind of guy who goes around calling people the N bomb? In the nicest way possible he seems to geeky for that.

    I dont think the mum is after money the family has not set up any go fund me's as far as I know.

    * are so cynical these days.

    She has posts from 2015 which are questionable though...

    But I agree with you about the boy. Greeting and says “people who are different shouldn’t be criticised for it”, would make him a belter of a hypocrite if we was a Wee racist guy.

    Which posts are these?

    Yea thats true just seems more likely to me that he is being horrifically bullied as opposed to a racist wee *. I could be wrong just my intuition.

    Hmm. Maybe I’m wrong. There’s one from August talking about butthurt Americans which could be taken any way. I don’t think the pictures with the flags can make her labelled racist but her saying it’s “ironic and funny” seems like a bit of a * excuse.

    Defo seems like a wee * to go around calling kids * if he's from a big Confederate flag flying sort of family. Ingrained into him.

    He’s on this morning now.

    Have they not done their full research on the whole story?

    Its America, why doesn't someone sue her for child neglect. Due to the fact that she's more interested in interrogating him on film rather than wiping away his tears and giving him a loving hug.
    Did say it's America...
    Any things possible.

    Not necessarily, it is a plausible and perhaps very effective way to halt bullying.
    That this example has supposed issues does not detract from the initial success of the method
    It is difficult to protect a child from Bullies, confronting bullies in the more obvious ways, via the school or direct to their parents or via a friend paying a visit and offering greater violence, all have their potential for problems.

    This apparent cold calculated method that questions a child and shows the effects a bully has is actually not that dissimilar to justice systems that make a criminal confront what damaging effects they have caused.

    Simple minded ignorant racist morons has no colour bar, humans of all skin shades can enrol and do. Not a black or white issue, have you ever actually seen a white or black person?
    No, it is a ignorant moron issue.
