I know this will be politicall incorrect - but this kid was probably teased and abused by the blacks. He had no where to turn because they could be racist to him all they want but he couldnt probably say a damn thing back to them. Its sad that this is what our society has come to - we have removed God, discipline, fathers and our constitution. We have replaced it with sexual deviancy, sinful pride about ones race, and idolotry. I am very sure that this poor kid, who probably did not have a father, felt like he had nowhere to turn, no one to listen to him. I went to a school which was predominantly black - if one wants to experience true racism and hate try being a white kid in an all black school.

“All it takes is ONE time and then the rest will leave you the hell alone.”

Your living in lala land - being a white kid in an all black school is just asking to get your ass kicked every day. Racism is alive and well in the black community - it is not only encouraged but praised by its leaders. Look up the word diversity and see who it excludes.

[You have to wonder how often that occurred.]

There was a time when aggression was constructively channeled onto the playing field.

The Utopian expectation that The State(tm) can magically or pharmaceutically alter 3.5 billion years worth of human Nature is simply not realistic.

Mark Twain said: “Courage is mastery of fear; not absence of fear”.

Aggression, like fear, is an instinct that must be mastered. It can not be legislated or medicated out of existence. It certainly can not be mastered by pretending it does not exist.

Homeschooler????

He was homeschooled? Yea that is the type of kids I want homeschooled? Homeschool is not good for social skills as this proves!!!!

In the post-Columbine world, that's pretty amazing.

That girl was only 7 when Columbine happened.

I’m from California and work in schools in the hood every day and that has not been my experience.
Not saying that a kid who is white in a minority school won’t face some problems.He or she will.The question is how will they handle the problem?Many whites and Asians who are deemed”cool”will be accepted and not get messed with.
The ones who are not cool?Yes,they will get some heat.Yet they would get the same heat in same race schools as well.
Teenagers can be little fascists when it comes to confromity.THAT sad reality transcends race.

[he was asking for something bad to happen.]

The shooter was in an environment full of predators and the coping strategy he chose in response to the environment was not successful. 

Maybe it would have been smarter if he had learned to be small, camouflage himself, and hide instead of engaging in behavior that explicitly drew more attention and guaranteed an escalation of conflict.

The question is, where did the shooter learn how to respond to his environment?  What did Marilyn Manson teach him?

What’s sad is that this disturbed kid decided to try to take some others with him. Thank God no one else died.

its not taught because the teachers don’t understand it any more. also, because the keepers of the dictionaries are too willing to alter the language to accomodate poor grammar.

“...being a white kid in an all black school is just asking to get your ass kicked every day. “

Are you speaking from personal experience or just making things up?

[paul51]

Wonder where the firearms came from. Can’t find any mention in the article

Well, maybe he’ll FINALLY SEE that he is NOT healthy entertainment and clean up his sorry act.

Marilyn Manson hasn't been relevant to young people since 1997. His heyday as a popular artist has long since ended.

Rilly? My blond and blue daughter didn’t have the slightest problem in her minority majority high school.

“Rilly? My blond and blue daughter didn’t have the slightest problem in her minority majority high school.”

Rilly???? you mean Really? anyway good for her. Whats your point? Why dont you give some more details if your trying to claim that your experience is the rule and not the exception.

[sasafras]

Personal experience, care to disagree?

[null and void]

I meant

On your original post (#42) you said:

Your living in lala land - being a white kid in an all black school is just asking to get your ass kicked every day. Racism is alive and well in the black community - it is not only encouraged but praised by its leaders. Look up the word diversity and see who it excludes.

Did you mean "You're living in lala land"?

Anyway, you asked

Whats your point?

Darling daughter was the just about the whitest person in her HS, if not THE whitest. She went to that school for four years without any problems.

Why dont you give some more details

What would suffice? Do you need a day-by-day diary for all four school years?

if your trying to claim that your experience is the rule and not the exception.

I'm not. (Did you mean "if you're trying to claim"?).

I will admit that it did sound to me like you were trying to claim just the opposite: being a white kid in an all black school is just asking to get your ass kicked every day.

Why don't you give some more details if you're trying to claim that is the rule and not the exception? (Note that the word don't has an apostrophe)

"He used to cuss all the teachers out," said Henderson, 14.

See right here is the problem.

A kid doing that needs to be knocked sensless until he comes around with his hat in his hand. And says yessir and yesmaam.

Let this stuff go unchecked and you get what you see here.

[jack_napier]

What did Marilyn Manson teach him?

My guess would be nothing. He's just a weird, pasty, androgynous person. Kids who are socially isolated and feel 'cornered' will resort to violence all on their own. But then again, I tend to believe man's natural state is depravity...

“My blond and blue daughter didn’t have the slightest problem in her minority majority high school.”

Just out of curiosity, who did she date?

A very dark skinned 1st generation Filipino-American. Nice kid, but it was very annoying trying to get a good picture of them together. Either she was washed out, or he was a dark blotch.
