Vandebilt Catholic High School investigating reported racist bullying incident

Vandebilt Catholic High officials said they are investigating a reported racist bullying incident that occurred in the Houma school's cafeteria.

A video of the incident surfaced Wednesday on social media showing a white male student throwing cotton at a Black male student who is seated in the cafeteria. The white student then whips the Black student with what appears to be a small belt.

Vandebilt officials said they are aware of the video and are “working to determine its origin.”

“School officials are working in cooperation with diocesan officials, students and parents to investigate this matter and are committed to ensuring that all individuals involved are held accountable in accordance with school policies,” the school said.

That's what's needed here. Some time behind bars is called for.

Rounded out with a good dose of of sanctimonious Christianity. A real winning combination.

You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!

Not to be confused with Banking While Black, Jogging While Black. You get the drift.

The white kid probably would've gotten punched if he tried that. The Black community would've raised hell and the administrators would've reacted by suspending the white student/s, not by sending the Black student home.

The new Black mayor would've probably gotten involved too.

It sure bothers me.

How about in accordance with what is universally right and wrong,
in this case, SO wrong!!!

to overcome some prejudices. Punishing individuals is pointless. People have to be educated out of their primitive beliefs.
