Student marked with KKK symbols at school for deaf
Quote:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A weekend incident with racial overtones at a high school for deaf students could result in criminal charges with "enhanced penalties for a hate crime," Metro Police Chief Cathy Lanier said Wednesday.
A black student was held against his will and then released with "KKK" and swastikas drawn on him in marker at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf on Sunday, she said.
No charges have been filed, and no names have been released, Lanier added.
The school is a residential high school on the campus of Gallaudet University, a higher education facility in Washington for deaf and hard of hearing people. The high school is administered as a division of the university's Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center.

Racist behavior rears its ugly head yet again. I personally thought they were just joking, but when I read the kid was held against his will then I knew something was wrong.
And before we go any further, this is not related to the Jena Six from what I've read.

It shows that of racism still exists today, despite claims to the contrary. It always shocks me that just 40 to 50 years ago America was a segregated society. An I bet quite a few people would like to back to those days.

Does that make it less racist?
If so, how? |

I didn't say it was more or less racist, I just thought everyone should see that part too. |

It sickens me that a black kid should have a part in his. It is bad enough having these white morons, without black people joining in.

Why?
What makes the skin color of the attackers important? |

Because the chances of finding a black person who is racially prejudiced against black people is rather unlikely? |

Not really, ever watch Chapelle's show? Find a blind black kid and tell him he's white and that blacks are evil or whatever.
