White Privilege is Not being Lynched n 2017

The "kids" should be tried as adults.

One of "those kids" is his 11 year old sister. She's white so I guess she should be tried as an adult, too?


Hey look, this should cheer you up -- the mom is making bank on this little incident. Funny how money eases so much pain. Hurry -- go donate!

I think if you take a life you should either lose your life or your freedom.

I think minors who murder should spend their lives in prison. The child they lynched won't get to live his life.

I'm an Obama liberal, man, so don't give me that crap. The issue has nothing to do with race except when you make it about race as you are doing in reverse. Trying juveniles as adults means you ascribe to juveniles adult levels of motivation, expected awareness of consequences, and resistance to group peer pressure. The law intelligently and humanely takes these differences into account. What trying juveniles as adults mainly means, however, for those who call for it is punishing juveniles as adults. In this case, an adult who hanged a boy by his neck from a tree would face a charge of attempted murder and a decades long prison sentence. If that's the justice here that seems right to you, so it is.

14 year old Black or Latino kids get tried as adults all the time. In fact...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/11/new-jersey-juvenile-detention-minority-tried-adults

90% of all 14-year old teens charged as adults were POC in that state.

My remark earlier was not pointed directly at you, btw. It was a general, "Oh, white kids get juvie, black kids get adult prison."

As I said, the distinction between juveniles is about race when people make it so. These white kids don't need to pay the price for the injustice white adults have done so often to black kids.

No. But, they should be equally treated unjustly. :)

I'm against grabbing an article from a media that has proven themselves to be biased and incompetent and then forming an opinion off of that article.

Your entire media machine is corporate state owned propaganda and nothing more, but really now, is there some difference of opinion as to what a lynching is?

LOL

You failed to answer whether you wanted the kid's white sister to be tried as an adult, so I'll have to assume you do. And, why you're not excited about the mother making some money is beyond me. I felt sure you'd be the first to donate.

Isn't it funny how a little cash eases so much pain?
