The Real discussed a viral video that’s been making headlines over the last few days. A community meeting meant to address concerns over racism in a Michigan school district got ugly when a white parent “asked” a Latino parent a racist question. Community members had gotten together to discuss a racist incident involving Saline High School

I saw this on the news, was it his kid who was bullying him

[dreamdate]

no his son came out on fb and was like "i don't know him"

[flowerssleeping]

Good and I hope his son doesn’t get harassed at school/online bc of his dad being a racist fuck

[milfordacademy]

did his son talk about what he feels re: his father's racism?

[vanouria]

Wow I've never seen so many white people do the right thing en masse lmao

But seriously that guy is a dick. The dad of the bullied kid handled it beautifully, I'm glad he had the room on his side

[peggybundy]

the way he was surprised by the collective gasps hahaha we love to see it

[stewie_e]

This pendejo thought!

[swissbeauty23]

LOL RIGHT he was shaking

[iznanassi]

Look at this white cowardly braindead devil. How many times he interrupts the guy speaking about his KID crying because he was being racially abused at school. How in his mind does it make sense for a child to go through that simply because he's an immigrant and he chose to come here? Whiteness is a disease.

I'm really glad everyone in the room reacted with disgust, and of course it's the black man that took him to task and brought it back to the kids.

I loved how that white, older lady first told him, 'it's not your turn,' and then when he kept talking, she got up and walked over and was like 'IT IS NOT YOUR TURN!' all in his face.

"Try being white and walk in a black neighborhood, see what happens.”

Has he ever walked in a black neighborhood jw

[iznanassi]

what white people like this don't realize is that it's bc they're racist. no one likes him. not even his own fucking kid likes him lmfao.

[msbombtastic]

doubtful lmao

try being black in Bedford NH. you can literally be arrested for simply being there.

dying @ the latino parent laughing at this clownery and the old lady in the front clutching her pearls.

it's so infuriating that you have to laugh. like, i feel pity for people this stupid and uneducated. and whoever piped up talking about how this was a discussion and he should be able to speak, dios mio. he had ZERO interest in knowing why this parent left mexico. he was antagonizing the hell out of him and probably went just to stir the pot.

this is why POC are done having these conversations. most people truly don't want to listen, they just want to argue with you.

[vanouria]

mte, white people feeling like POCs need to justify simply existing is exhausting

[devourlove]

"this is why POC are done having these conversations. most people truly don't want to listen, they just want to argue with you."

mfte. people don't want to believe the ones they claim "just need to be educated" will come and DELIBERATELY heckle poc in public places because they want to get a rise out of them and think everyone around them will agree with their racism. there is no conversation, there's no discussion, and google is right there for people who want to be educated

[dreamdate]

and the people who truly want to be educated and have a conversation/discussion/lesson on anything they're wondering about know how to approach the subject in a respectful and decent manner. it's really not hard. you can always sniff them out.
