I'm sorry, but whether or not there were racial injustices in the past I do believe they deserve more stern treatment than a slap on the wrist. The opposite is the truth here ...I've seen black guys beat up white kids who were white supremacists, but that doesn't justify their method. What did they get? They didn't even get fucking detention because the white kid used the "n word".

White or black people should be punished for these things. Race shouldn't be an issue only stupidity. Sure, the symbolism of the nooses is horrible and the students should be punished for that, but that certainly does not justify assault and they should be punished. That guy wasn't just roughed up a little, he was savagely beaten. I've gone to a dance with a broken leg before and it didn't mean shit.
