Good for you, but that's not what I was discussing.

Then blacks and whites should trade places, so that whites can be as privileged as blacks are. Better hurry up before I change my mind!

Well if switching positions has nothing to do with this, then don't reply to my posts that talk about switching positions. If you want to rant about your one-sided political ideas, then you should do so in a transparent way and not try to hijack the conversation I was having with someone else.

It seems that the only "acceptable" racist hatred, is the racist hatred against Caucasian people. I'm sure it didn't help that this was a woman, either.

So when you say that, you're speaking from your extensive studies and first hand observations on race relations in the United States, right?

I don't understand where this thread went, or why we're talking about trading places with different races. These are students, minors in a school that are expected to show respect to their teachers and follow the rules. Even if the kids had some kind of problem with the teacher they shouldn't be disrespecting her in this manner. I don't care who you are or where you come from, there's no excuse for it. If anything, after the kid is exspelled, the kid's parents should be bent over someone's knee with a switch, because THAT is where the problems stem. If society is raising your kids than you're a shitty parent.

No, I'm speaking from the perspective as someone who has noticed that there is a pattern in many parts of the world, that it's almost acceptable to insult and belittle people who are Caucasian, because Caucasian people are the "Elite" and "The Man", and all Caucasian people are racist and want to treat others badly.
