I feel sorry for young people like this who have been molded into such hateful things by their elders. It's sickness.

You'd think that with widespread access to information, this would have stopped happening, but instead it has been allowed to thrive in isolated little echo-chambers.

Some people shouldn't be allowed near kids, and I'm not saying it's just the parents either.

The Internet makes this so much scarier as a parent.

I don't get it, if black people were slaves she wouldn't be scared? When they're free, that's terrifying?

Sounds like she just wants slaves.

Maybe she hates Hispanics slightly less, she only mentions them once. She doesn't even mention Asians! lol

Can't just tell daddy that they're scared and have that black person "removed" from sight like they used to.

What do we learn from sharing this essay? It's not at all surprising that lots of young teens are racist pricks. A lot of them grow out of it and a lot of them don't.

Broadcasting hatred to such a wide audience amplifies its harm and tells like-minded teens that they aren't alone in their views.

fam, racists know they aren't alone. Look at the white house. You're never going to grow out of something if you're not confronted with why your dumb ass is wrong.
 
Shameful shit. Hopefully she's shamed for this for the rest of her life, or learns to be ashamed of it on her own.

As an essay, it's just as bad as Planes, Trains, and Plantains, but lacks its charm and hot Oedipus-on-Billy Mays action.

The parents need to answer for their racist little shit of a kid, and that school needs to answer for why this kid's language skills are like five years below grade level, minimum. Holy shit.

This is the kind of stuff that should have consequences in school. Really disgusting. Parents are probably to blame too since they are handling her education at home.

all i'd say to this girl is the police brutality in the states comes from all gender and race so not just white cops, i'd also tell her to actually read the bible for ones, and stop watching fox news.

This shit will never die. You really just have to write certain people off for your own sanity. I don't expect much from young catholic children tbh
 
Not event the kids fault most likely too, it's the parents and grandparents passing this shit on each generation. A lot of people in the states feel this way too.

"I'm not fully racist, but i'm pretty fucking racist"

that's all i saw in the OP. Like holy shit, what the fuck is her deal?

Black people wanted to start a purge? Like the movie?

You probably need control of some institutions to do that.

Maybe they were vomiting at all the innocent members of their community being shot.

The ironic thing is if Jesus was walking toward this girl in the supermarket speaking Aramic she'd move over to the other side of the cart. Probably call the police over too because "you can't be too safe"

It also can correct the behavior of the person when they see how others react so strongly to it.

I'm sorry I just don't see the value in your approach of basically not acknowledging this stuff as it happens because it's going to happen anyway or she'll probably just grow out of it (sure). Racist shit needs to be called out when it happens. Screw the negative peace.

And no I don't think there is anybody that reads this letter and think, gees she's right, I think I am racist now too. They may think, I agree with her, but they already did. And no calling racism out is not why we have Trump. It's because people are racist shits.

It's not easy being black or brown in america is it? Not to mention, things are about to take a turn for the worse.

She really nailed the racism bingo in that letter.

Thinking the Bible's characters were white is otherworldly levels of stupid.

If they're characters they can be any color the reader wants them to be. If they're people, they can't.

Atheism can't have its cake and eat it too in this case.

“None of the apostles were different ethics [sic]. They were all white. There was [sic] no black nor Hispanic [sic] mentioned really back when Jesus time was. All the stories we hear in the Bible are about like mainly white people.”

Tell that poor girl they were Middle Eastern, probably Arab-like, and definitely not European white or current-day Jews (which have a lot of European genes). Fucking disgusting human being.

Just looking at the writing ability, this is worse with regard to grammar and syntax than some of the kids I teach who are not even native English speakers. Factor in the content and yeesh. I don't think she's read a book in her life.

That essay is hideous and im just talking about its construction, use of the language, grammar etc.

If my 9th grade daughter wrote an essay like that I'd be utterly inconsolable.


The subject matter is also remarkable for its ignorance, hatred and flat out racism. Amazing for its terribleness.

You've got to wonder about the parenting and her general upbringing and environment that allows her to think link that.

Would be interested in hearing about this student's parents because being this racist isn't something you just stumble upon. It is most assuredly a learned behavior.

As someone who teaches disadvantaged kids to write, I must say that teaching writing is very difficult.

To be fair, she sounds like most catholics I know.
Most of us aren't this flippantly ignorant. Seems to be American Catholics, particularly in the midwest and the south that have this problem. Who knows why. Racism goes directly against the teachings of the church. Just goes to prove people can retool anything to suit their agenda.

Why do people keep bringing up her parents? This girl is in HIGH SCHOOL. She's been interacting with people for at least a decade now. She's had several opportunities to branch off if her parents are actually spouting that bullshit, which i have no doubt they are. That doesn't lead a girl to write a blatantly racist diatribe for a school essay. She stopped giving a fuck about social graces a long time ago. These are the musings of an independently racist person. All absolving her does is give kids that are low key racist carte blanche to continue being so under the guise of "that's just how I was raised".

Are we really losing our shit about one blatantly racist child? Why is this news?

Teacher should give the child a failing grade on the paper and then talk with them one-on-one about why the paper was inappropriate. I really don't think we need to make one dumb child's homework assignment into a public spectacle.

Not fully racist and have a black friend.

Wew, thanks god she's not fully racist. I'd say only around 99.99% racist.

But seriously, someone better tell her that Jesus is not Mel Gibson

In twenty years she will become a Congresswoman and her campaign and voters will sweep this under the rug as mere adolescent musings (while running on a platform that implicitly endorses everything she said).
