I’ve seen this being done, albeit by younger kids and not involving racial epithets. A bully, or more likely, bullies, pick on a kid until the kid being picked on snaps and does something like take a swing or hurl an insult and then all involved, except the victim, run to tell a teacher that the victim did X. It’s double bubble bullying, because the victim is tormented by the bully/bullies and the clueless teacher punishes them too. It’s fucking evil, and it’s why I never jump to conclusions when dealing with arguing children at school.

It’s also why zero-tolerance behaviour policies are stupid.

Yes it's a really common problem. Schools are just little microcosms of adult society if you think about it, the kids are just far less skilled at pulling it off so it's obvious.

Adult world works like the Month Python sketch "Help help I'm being oppressed?"

The great thing about dealing with misbehaviour in little kids is that a) they’re generally poor liars, b) they’ll grass on their co-offenders in a heartbeat to save themselves, c) they believe you when you tell them that you know everything that happened and just need to see if they will tell the whole truth.

Once they get past about 12 though, then it gets tough and that’s why I only teach 5-11 year olds. They’re generally well behaved, they care about what you think of them and they really don’t want their parents called in - there are exceptions and the really bad behaviour in young kids, although very rare, can be truly awful.

Black people need to get used to that word existing; it's not going away. And the more they obsess over it, the more power they give it.

I think they need it to keep that power though. It gives them the perfect excuse to act out in response when someone who isn't black uses it. If I called a black man a piece of shit and he swung on me for it, he's a piece of shit. But I called him a nigger and he swung on me? Then he's fighting back against racism, and he's the hero of the story.

I agree if we're talking about the professionally victimized black people. They need that word and everything it stands for to be forever at the forefront of national discourse so it can always be exploited for maximum social power and control over white guilt and as a handy crutch to absolve themselves of any and all personal failure.

Jewgroids. Is that more or less "offensive" (aka powerful-via-guilt) than the dreaded holodomor-in-a-can "N word"?

A fence is taken, never given. They stole my fence.

I don't believe her

Yeah, I'm not buying it. Maybe the N word on its own, but cotton picking? She's made it too unbelievable by adding that
