“They get in their big F-150 trucks, park right in front of us, smash on the gas, blow their horn and say get the f— out the way you black b—-!” she said.Thursday’s fight led to one arrest and another person charged with hitting a staff member.Student say all that could’ve been avoided if police and school leaders listened.”We went to the police, to our administrators and one of our administrators, Mr. Woods, told us to get out of his school,” she recalled. “He told me, ‘Don’t bring that in this school.’”
Yes, this is the United States in 2007. You know all those stories you heard about the Old South, the constant racial slurs, the strict segregation along racial lines, the KKK, the good ol’ boy network? They are real and alive in North Central Florida. This is the land of the Rebel Flag plate on the front of your boss’s pickup truck and the “N” word said to the face of a black person. There is no hyperbole here, no race-baiting BS for the sake of stirring up trouble. There actually places in the USA untouched by notions of racial equality or civil rights. This needs to be publicized, America has been in denial for way too long.
