I see a room of white kids and these kids are supposedly messing with this black girl so much that her mother had to come up there and make some promises.
I think it is always a good thing to stand up to them.
How it plays out can be addressed down the road but protecting her black child from them, all for it.
Yall move way too loud. In going through the video sometimes frame by frame, you can see maybe 5 kids tops. Really just 4. Lot of assumptions being made here. Ultimately it's kind of a dumb move to do all that, because they already have you on video (clearly) threatening things. Anything happens and you're already a suspect.
But I've been railing on this for years, ever since going to protest marches likely before any of yall were born. We gotta move strategically. We have to think about where we're trying to get to and how best to get there. Not do some in-public, yelly stuff, but move behind the scenes and get what we want to get done, done. Do it in hard to undo ways. Do it in structural ways. I get the anger and feeling like you want to do something now, and who gives AF who hears or what the outcome is. But that's how we get played and end up sitting in a cell feeling stupid and having records and losing jobs and ultimately feeling like we puffed our chest out, but at the end of the day where are you at.
But people can do what they want to do I guess. OP in this thread said don't glorify destructive behaviors. I guess we're 600 pages into this thread and still haven't gotten that message. It applies to behaviors that will be destructive, and certainly there's a fair chance of whatever happens after this video that if there are any kind of significant confrontations, it's not going to be constructive for this mom. It's not going to get her a raise, or a promotion, or a loan, or a better house, or a lower interest rate, or anything. You feel like a bad *** for a day or two. Justify that you felt like an animal backed into a corner so you had to do what you had to do. Trust me I know. I just want us to get to the point where we're not screaming at the front of a classroom, we're getting the aunts and sisters rent raised to where they have to move. You're getting their car towed so they can't even drive the bullies to school. You get their parents lien on their house bought and they have to move elsewhere. You get the kids expelled from school one way or another. Do it right and they just think "oh, I guess some things just didn't go our way".
Cause that's the **** they've done to us for 70, 80, 90, 100+ years. Change laws, rewrite covenants, use contacts and friends in jobs to restrict access or make things problematic to the point where the person removes themselves and has no idea who is even behind it.
Was reading a book with some disputed claims about what Pete Buttigieg was talking about where there were discussions about whether or not certain bridges in various areas were built as low as possible to stop kids from being able to be bussed in to go to parks and pools. Again, the digging I did suggested nobody really knows if it's true or not, because it's hard to pin all the facts down.
That ****. That's how you go about getting done what you want done. Remember that Nas line? "
I know a kid that'll throw **** in your food and say that's the way you kill a man, avoid the shooting". Stop the bullying without putting yourself on front street for blowback.

can attest to this, there’s a lot of great wrestlers that are NOT icon’s. That doesn’t takeaway from their greatness.
