I'm sadly agreed. Bullies don't categorically fall flat after highschool. This just feels more like the way we wish the world was, and not the way it really is. A certain amount of selfishness and meanness actually works to a person's benefit in many situations, doubly so if they are clever enough. Sure, some of the bullies from high school will end up as dead beat nobodies, but so will the kids bullied and teased into depression. I fear messages like this aren't about solving the problem, but about trying to cheer up the victims. I'd vote for cheering them up with the reality that they can still succeed and triumph in spite of the bullying rather than the falsehoods and wishes that any half aware high schooler is going to see through and feel no better for.

Who do you think "racist profiling" can refer to other than blacks? Those are this guy's own words, not TYT's. He could not possibly be suggesting that white people are complaining about getting racially profiled. He means black people are complaining about it. I don't see any other way to read it.>> ^Quboid:

I'm a little uncomfortable with how TYT assume this guy is using urban to mean black. From the little bit that they read out, there's nothing to suggest that this doesn't refer to poverty-stricken/dead-beat (delete as appropriate to your political beliefs) inner-city families of any race. The Martin family doesn't fit this group and I suspect it is due to racism that the fire chief assumed they did, but to me, TYT don't come out of this looking well.

I think they assume it because he's talking about Martin and then goes off about "urban" kids. It's not much of a stretch. "Urban" has been a synonym for "black" for the last twenty years.

Funny link though.

single mom is a dish best served cold and bitter. like gazpacho with 2 tablespoons of mylanta-to neutralize the acidity of the tomato and soothe all the stomach ulcers.

i would also enjoy some refried illegal immigrant, and pickled dead beat dad.
