First comment
more like grow up why do people keep doing this. Are you 6 years old?
And absolutely nothing will be done about it.
The young man asked “Why?”
Hardened hearts and because hatred has been passed down generationally, and it will continue to.🤷🏾♀️
Because Judah was black and you know what happened.
I’m just a gentile….
And so blessed.
@Just Be I am violence, yet I am so blessed.
@Sammy Ha Hang Proud “Murderer” 😅
Texas, Florida are no longer welcome states for none white citizens.
Stop moving into white neighborhoods if there’s racism all around you! If they don’t want you there, stop forcing them to “accept” you. Gee, let me move into a black neighborhood and see if they want me there. Bunch of hypocrites.
I feel racism and hate everyday.
And I haven’t moved anywhere.
California is literally the land of toxic positive only snowflakes and denial in anything negative.
I’m not joking, I’m done.
Bigotry and selfish narrow-mindness is welcomed here with mob conformity.
I’m in college and was recently bullied by students I don’t even know for just being honest about the truth of the country to what I put up with daily while many students ask “where’s the parties at?”
Bigotry and selfish narrow-mindness is welcomed in California here with 100% mob conformity. “Good vibes only”
I’m in college and was recently bullied by students I don’t even know for just being honest.
The school is only “investigating” this situation now because it is being reported on the news, if the victims would have no taken any action the school would still let these idiotic racists behavior continue. Not surprising for a southern state.
well, it’s Republican Texas! one of the most racist state in USA!
White fragility racism is showing in the U.S Texas is full of Republicans white fragility racism yes
All states are racist.
It’s Texas…. where is the shock? Texas a 💩 hole in Donald trump voice 🤣
Until we find out that it was other black students doing the cyber “bullying” like at all the college incidents now.
As for the in classroom action, kids have phones in schools and if they document even one instance, I’ll back them 100% and seek justice with them. Kids are always recording, let’s see the videos.
I would call out the bullies by name on TV / news. Expose them bullies.
They are minors. That’s what you would say if you thought the billies were black .
99.9 percent of the bullying or racism COMES from the black kid or black person for pushing button’s because they KNOW THEY CAN PLAY THE VICTIM CARD BECAUSE THEY’RE black…. There’s ALSO 3 side’s to the truth one person, the other person’s and the TRUTH….
As someone who lived in Lubbock all my life, Lubbock Cooper is a majority of rich white families. The district even builds unnecessary buildings by raising house taxes close to schools. I wonder if the district committed tax fraud cause where’s the money coming from
🙄
So where are all of the other black kids being “bullied”?
I’d like to see videos on those phones all these kids would have had out doing their thing.
How about telling us who did or said these things?
I’d like to hear from witnesses, teachers etc….
Two sides to every story.
Okay.
Sickening
Lol Blm🤡💩🍉
Discussing , this is about education .. and the ones in fault is all adults from the school district to the parents, shame on you all ..
This is at the worst possible district Lubbock county
#abbottfailedtexas
What does Abbott have to do with this?
@MidnightCharizard blame Abbott for the messed up school system in Texas.
Of course in Texas
There is One race of people, and this is the human race. Racism is talt at home. NO matter who does the teachings you’re not born this way. I repeat you are talt to be racist spineless individual.
heartbreaking that this still happens- what is wrong with people???
Can we just change the word RACISM to BINGO.. Then when you want to collect,you just shout BINGO !
As long as people ignore racism and injustice the worse our world will become. Prosperity is based on unity and the progress of all human beings together is an advancing civilization.
And still this young man didn’t pick up a gun and go to school to shoot people some of those emotionally unstable white kids are the dangerous ones they grow up to be the domestic terrorists we have in this country future maga supporters
hate is the absense of love.
“Love is a light no matter in which heart it shines and hatred is darkness no matter where it may make its nest” Abdu’l Baha
GOOD FOR THEM!!! I HOPE THEY WIN BECAUSE LISD , DR UMAR AND THE TX NAACP IN ATX AND LUBBOCK DIDN’T WANT TO HEAR ME WHEN I REPORTED AGAINST A RACIST PRINCIPAL AT ESTACADO HIGH SCHOOL. IT IS BEEN OVER DUE FOR LUBBOCK TX TO BE LOOKED AT FOR RACISM!💯💯🤐🖤
Liar
OK but why is this on the 630 national news? There’s 340 million people in this country of course this is happening. Is it right? No- but shouldn’t be on the national news. Media dividing people again. Do you have any idea how many 340 million people are? You just singled out 4 of them.. Good work.. What’s next? a black kid pulled a white kid’s hat off his head in Lees Summit Missouri? Media = division. Yes out of 486,000 schools some little punks sent some racial messages through TikTok…. Ticky tacky…
Only racist bullying of white students is allowed don’t they know that
They always start out with something that is happening society wise. But if the specific school district do not tolerate bullying. Then stick to what you oversee. Before you can tackle society ills.
Gregg Abbott banned abortion, AR-15 gun regulation, marriage equality, history books with Blacks, Asians, Latinos..
White Supremacy is growing in TX and are lawmakers in some county.
Republicans are destroying TX
This dosen’t surprise me at all smh
Sounds to me like Lubbock needs to clean house. Time for a new school board.
Wtf Texas
Sad this will never end. They have to send to another school unfortunately
Once Again,the misuse of slander&insults.i will educate the country on how these words are supposed to be used.
When my children were little and we would drive to their grandparents house in Lubbock for the holidays, we would spend the 12 hour drive talking to them about how they were going to hear things from Gpa and Gma that were bad and NOT to be repeated ever. That was 30+ years ago. 2 years ago my daughter had to do the same. Racism in Lubbock is rampant. Anyone who says different has their head in the sand.
Poor nice, intelligent kid….I think moving is the right tactic. There is no changing those in-bred white trash racists.
Leave them to their own devices. They will all turn into alcoholics and wife beaters, as they are disturbed. Or they will shoot each other, as they are surely gun owners. They will get what they deserve, and the black boy will have joy and meaning in his life.
These kids should not have to deal with that if it’s true but sadly often the whole story is not told. I’ve seen that in my town personally. Also why does it never make national news when white kids are experiencing this same thing?? I can assure you that it is much more common that white kids are bullied and picked on by minority kids. I’ve seen that with my family members. Nothing is ever done nor make the news!!!!
There not special. Bullying inaction goes on in every school over every little thing.
Fight back. Tell the white kids that they have primative, non human, Neanderthal DNA. All white Europeans have some Neanderthal DNA.
Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones is pictured with a 1957 mob of racist who harrassed, intimidated and traumatized students in Lil Rock Arkansas. Mr. Jones never denounced that 1957 mob action and the media complicity in not seeking further clarification from Mr. Jones. So this will continue because they the Mr. Jones’ was rewarded and members of the media condone such behavior.
This isn’t ok
This is heartbreaking
Kids are racist. Big, hulking she-rillas yank the stringy hairs of white girls out of the skulls during beatings, and pasty kids (usually boys) play monkey sounds on their phones. Sometimes the internet racists are negroes themselves though. I’d double check whoever it was that created the webpage. It’s not really something that they’re taught. Kids mostly hate going to school even if they enjoy the social scene, and they want to spread their own brand of misery as easily as possible.
There is racism in Texas? Oh, wow, how shocking! This opens up a whole new world to me !
It’s Texas, what do you expect?
That’s f’ed up!
ボディシェイマーと虐待的な人々、私は嫌いです
(translate the message above to english in google translate if you believe there is hope in the world)
We’re sorry for you bradie
We love you
What Americans call Karens, the rest of the world call Americans.
Pink is the colour of the Americans that Trump and Ye claim are white supremacists. Aren’t Jews pink too?
I am a light brown Māori, a gold supremacist. Kia kaha tangata whenua. Power to indigenous people!
Im from.nyc live in dallas and i see why houston is the only place i would live here in texas…texans are racist
Lmao. The monkey instagram page had me in tears. Looks accurate to me
All my political predictions about Pelosi, Milley, Shifty, Biden, and Lizzy have come true. This is my last prediction for 2022. So Megan Markle will leave Harry, when their titles are stripped off them.
As a white person I am ashamed of the red-neck white racists doing this. Those doing this will grow up to be violent hateful unsuccessful human beings. The black boy in this story will certainly find success and joy in his life. Shameful white-trash individuals, you will get what you deserve.
Sad that we live in a time of so many disingenuous race hoaxes and hustles that the very occasional acts of real racism get lost in the noise. BLM is such a harmful and destructive ideology and this type of dishonest movement has appeal to a lot of disenfranchised poor children.
Hers an idea stop teaching kids to see race before anything else. CRT has done just that. Never in my life have I noticed someone’s race as bad as I do now because it’s being forced into our brains 24/7.
When they make monkey sounds.
1 Give them a “Thumbs Up”
2 Yell “That is right be proud of your monkey dna. Speak your native monkey language”
Ooh Ahh Ahh I do aploigise if those are curse words in your monkey language.
Walnut Creek CA. is a systemically and institutionally racist city.
God is Love.
That superintendent would make a good Fox “Propaganda” New actor. A relative live in Lubbock while his wife was in a masters programs at Texas Tech. He said that is the most racist place he had ever lived and he attended Texas A&M in College Station for 2 years.
Parents !
