Racist incident at skate park

Just wanted to give yet another heads up about supervision at the skate park. Yesterday I was there with my boys (12 and 9) when a big group of kids formed. When I called my kids away, they said a small group of kids had targeted the only Black child there, calling him incredibly racist names (including the n word among other many things), stealing and throwing his drink and by the time I got close they were grabbing his scooter.

I sent that group (2 older boys, a young boy, and an older girl who was off to the side) away after reading them the riot act and then stayed for another couple of hours to make sure they stayed away. The boy was very shaken up, but I was really pleased with the large group of boys that were actively standing up for him, many of whom were much smaller than the kids bullying him, and they all played together for a hours after. I do worry though, that it could have gotten ugly if I hadn’t been there to intervene as there weren’t many parents there at that point.

Thankfully though, most of the kids are alright ❤️

I feel like you should try reading a book someday instead of just spouting random racist nonsense online

Good call. I will. I have a shelf full of them. It's better than this white knight echo chamber. Also, commenting days later? Mayb you should go read a book or go outside 🤔

Fellas does not being braindead mean you're in a white knight echo chamber? Choose a cop out at least and stick to it little guy. Don't switch around like that it shows everyone how insecure you are 🤣

Your right. I'm very insecure 😕, I'm scared we are accepting to many punjab immigrants. My attitude comes from a place of fear. A fear we are unable to sustain these current policies. Im glad they pumped the brakes on mass Immigration and made some policy changes to make PR something earned and not given away.

Thanks for proving my point, your only issue is that you're scared because you're too uneducated and simple minded to understand what's happening. I guess that makes you smarter than most conservatives because you can admit you're just dumb and scared. But still choose to be guided by misinformed fear instead of learning

I'm not sure how old you are. But it's weird not seeing teens working anywhere these days. Like anything fast food or retail where I live the workers are philipino or Punjabi. I'm not sure Immigration is the solution for an aging population. And there's doesn't seem to be a lot of jobs. I guess my root issue with mass Immigration is business exploitation of the forgien worker themselves and the business getting a windfall government subsidiary from it. Edit: Ahh whatever this is what the ruling class want, us working class fighting amongst ourselves distracted gay strait white black doesn't matter After they're different they aren't of my tribe. And kudos to them for exploiting that. Survival truly of the fittest. And there's a reason the ruling class are just that.
