Since males can now “self identify” as female, pasty white crackers like Shaun King can self identify as black.
It’s not the reality of who or what you are, it’s what or how you FEEL that matters.
Feelings trump normal reality every time.
Reality is in the mind of the sick, perverted or deranged. Normal people just have to adapt...or not.

thank u for that info. I thought he was the not black blackman.
Why would it matter if the kid was black or white? Oh, I see, this is a New York Daily News article. They are anything but straight when it comes to the up and up about racial issues. The kid could be purple and it would not make a bit of difference to the issue.
The New York Daily News is trash!
I report. You decide.
I mostly agree, but Shaun King inadvertently reveals the critical role in this played by the father:
“...it does not appear that the boy’s father was even at the zoo with his family on Saturday.”
Might this whole incident have been avoided if the father had been there to control his willful son? I do not pretend to know why he wasn’t there (we can be sure King doesn’t know), but it’s almost too apt a metaphor for the dysfunction that affects black sons when fathers are absent. Photos of the child show a great deal of anger and belligerence, resembling a miniature Michael Brown. All toddlers get frustrated, but how they act on it is learned. Maybe the father’s criminal history played a role, maybe it didn’t.
Kids are little escape artists. We had twins and it was like herding feral cats. You turn your head for one moment and you never knew where they would disappear to.
That the mother took the kid to the zoo, indicates that she cares for him. Neglectful parents, don't take the time to take their kids to the zoo.
Racism certainly has found it’s way in. As per usual the black bigots are trying to find a way to use the situation against whites.
“If the parents have a history of suing businesses or something then it may be possible they put the child there.”
I know what you mean, but in this exhibit the parents would have to literally catapult him over into the enclosure if he had not somehow crawled through to fall into the moat.
The viewers stand at eye level with the gorillas, but you are separated by a railing, a cement waist-high wall, feet of dense brush and a fence BEFORE you get to the deep moat that has the flowing water at the bottom which stands between people and the animals.
So how did the kid get in there? Is there any film?
cannot relate to the veracity of the report that the mother was on her cell phone, perhaps texting while with the child at the gorilla exhibit. If true one can easily see why this occurred.
Reports from witnesses do not indicate the child was put there. They do say he told his mom he wanted to be with the gorilla. I don’t think that is a strange thing for a four year old to say. I also don’t think the mom was negligent for not taking him seriously. She probably thought there was no way for him to get down to the gorilla pit. From one witness account the mom noticed her son was missing very quickly and started to call and look for him.
IDK if there is security camera footage or not. I hope so just so they can make sure it doesn’t happen again.
An eyewitness said she saw him crawling over the waist high cement wall (made to look like natural stone) into the brush but she couldn’t catch him.
Yeah, I was always afraid of the road with mine. But danger could be under the kitchen sink for that matter.
That people dug into and published the fathers criminal background is just another example of how newspaper reporters and editors are generally scum.
Yeah the zoo, after 38 years with no incidents at this is exhibit, is totally at fault for a kid going over a railing, across a waist high concrete wall, through dense brush, a fence and then into a moat.
In that case, all gun manufacturers are guilty for misuse of firearms.
That's good to hear.
This is the second person inside a zoo enclosure in the past month or so. Mentally ill people have crawled into enclosure for the last few decades. So when it happened again, I am not as shocked that it happened, but wondering how it can still be happening decades after the first mentally ill person crawled over a fence in order to talk to animals. I would think zoos would make these enclosures more secure, and therefore it would have to be deliberate, not an accident, for someone to get inside.
On the other hand, the Jurassic Park movies seem a lot more believable now.
Firearms? That’s a false equivalency.
