Racism isn't something only one race does. At the end of the day, the idiot kid who wrote that was being racist to his own race. He made people feel bad, and they have every right to stand up and say "no".

I can't deny someone their experience of life, if I've never lived their life. If we spent a little more time just listening, instead of talking over everyone and telling people how things should be, we'd probably hear very little about discrimination. Discrimination spawns from a lack of understanding of each other, from all sides. Affirmative action, segregation and reparation payments aren't going to solve the problem.

The kids that did the walk out, aren't idiots. They didn't do anything wrong. They saw a nasty message and they responded to it. I think the shame is entirely on the kid who wrote it. Although, as mothered said, I'd be curious to know what it actually was that they said.
