If the boy was white, I wonder if that point would have been brought to the forefront? I hear this all the time and it makes me wonder why as it seems senseless.
hate to break it to you, but alot of parts of this country are not used to seeing black people,white people outnumber blacks by a HUGE margin, so its only natural, i grew up in a highschool of 1600 students... MAYBE 10 being black... so when we see black people, they stick out.. period.
and no , im NOT racist at all, just speaking the truth, can u handle it?
