UT players will still meet with Keaton tomorrow but not at school per parents request. Sad that what could have been a teachable time for many had to be changed but parents have to do what they think is best for him.

I have no doubt some took it as a racist symbol and viewed it as such.

But I also know many people adopted it for southern pride and it had nothing to do with racism whatsoever. In fact, I recall asking a black friend of mine who said he was offended by the confederate flag. I asked if he was offended by it before the hoopla about it started a few years ago, he admitted it hadn’t bothered him before.

Few people were offended by it until someone told them that they were.

Most people alter their opinions on topics when they become educated about them. That's how education works.

Few children give a **** about southern pride until they get a confederate flag shoved in their face. That's not a genetic trait.

According to Fox 17 reporter's Twitter, it was Keaton's parents who requested the meeting be changed to private.

This is the photo that has gone viral that supposedly shows her racism.

I don’t see anything racist but then again I associate the rebel flag with southern pride as do many southerners. That flag was adopted as something southerners could rally behind since much of the time we are stereotyped as racist, ignorant, uneducated Hicks.

The piece that’s missing here is that this post was in response to the Charlottesville mess and she said in a private message with an MMA fighter that she hoped white people could stick together against the predators. It’s getting ugly for her.

It wasn’t her account. The MMA fighter said he wasn’t even sure it was her account and then posted it anyway.

Just because some are ignorant of the true meaning of something, it doesn't mean what it actually is changes.

There is a historical record that documents the reemergence of the flag. Just because some have fallen for propaganda doesn't change fact.





Being against ir relationships definitely means you are racist. No matter what race you happen to be.

You don't have to be in a hate group or literally hate another race to be racist. There are many forms of racism. You could not hate a group, but feel your race is superior in culture or intelligence. No you aren't a KKK terrorist attacking people, but still an ignorant racist.

Sorry bro just because you say it doesn't make it factual. Not wanting to date anyone of the opposite race absolutely does not make you racist. It could be how you were raised but doesn't by any means make a person a racist. Someone of the opposite race may not find other races attractive and that's personal preference not racism. Say a white girl only dates black guys or a white guy only dates black girls. Does that make either of them racist against their own race because they don't find them attractive or refuse to date them? Or does a same race couple become sexists because they are against man/woman relationships? Absolutely not. Yea in some cases it can make you racist or sexist depending on the person and the reason but it's not fair to call everyone a racist or sexist just based off personal preference. And it definitely doesn't make someone feel like they are superior to another race or sex just because it's not their preference. Just like some guys are boob men and some are a$$ men. Some women love beards some prefer clean shaved. Personal preference Doesn't automatically make you racist or sexist. There's other circumstances, actions or thoughts that would have to be included to be racist or sexist. And if you are a guy or a girl who isn't into the opposite sex does that automatically make you a sexest?? Hell no.

I don’t even have the words.

This is a child. It’s about the child being bullied. Yesterday it was about the child and today that is what it should still be about.

Pretty sure being anti biracial dating = racist. Flags and HBCUs are probably aight depending on your circle.

My dad used to say he wasn't racist but thought that bi-racial dating should be illegal to keep the race pure.

Pretty freaking racist IMO. Only reason anyone would be against it is if they took issue with other races.

Racist as Hell. There’s a huge huge huge difference between someone not being attracted to people of different ethnicities than someone passing judgement on others who are.

For example, I’m not that attracted to black women, but if my daughter started dating a black guy, then I wouldn’t see any problem with it. Those who do have a problem with it are, in fact, embracing racism because you are looking at the color of skin as opposed to whether he’s a good kid or treats your daughter well.

I feel for the kid and no kid should be bullied but however the mother is up to something I believe she is trying to gain something from this situation and I heard she is racist. She has a go fund me account already set up for Keaton raised over 60,000$$
Kinda fishy, but I feel for the kid though ..

I think she is up to no good as well. However the 60k account has already been proven to be set up by someone else.

Lmao. That alta vista page is a perfect example of the ignorance and propaganda some want to spread.

It presents false opinions and ignores facts. How does it not address the fact that the states and Confederate government literally said that the reason was slavery?

Should we not believe what they said their reason was?

Read an actual history book. Or a transcript from newspapers from the time since some of you don't believe history books.

There is a difference between being against ir dating and not dating people you aren't attracted to.

If you are against others doing it you are a racist no doubt.

If you haven't dated outside your race because you haven't met anyone that you were attracted to or whatever there is nothing wrong with that.

If you think no one of another race is attractive period, you probably are a racist.

Yes. People supporting ignorance, like you are apparently. I may not prefer one race to date but that doesn't mean I think every single one of them is unattractive. If someone thinks that literally not one person of another race is attractive it is probably because of racism against that group.

Why does it seem like every post you make is about race? Personally, I don't care about race at all. In fact, we don't have any real biological races in the homo genus. What people construe as race are actually cultural identities. I prefer to not be around certain cultures like urban ghetto because that's not who I am.

People who say that people of a certain race aren't attractive probably haven't truly thought about it. I don't think people of a certain cultural background are attractive, but that has nothing to do with skin color.

Your thinking of people's ignorance is reflecting your ignorance about people with different backgrounds. A racist is someone who separates people by the color of their skin. By that definition, you are just as racist as everyone you call out.

Oh, nice. Now I'm a racist...

I don't find Indian women attractive. Personal preference. Provided I haven't met all 500 million or so, but I just haven't seen one that I considered attractive.

Am I a racist for that?
