Blacks and whites will never get along peacefully because the Blacks don't want it to happen. They are the ones that want more rights than anyone else..They could not function as equals because they want all of the power..The blacks stay segregated because they choose to stay that way. They don't want anything to do with the whites until they think they can get something from the whites for nothing...White people bow down to them and cater and fear them thinking that it is what we owe them. We owe them what they have earned...If they don't earn the respect then they don't get any in return...Jesse Jackson only comes out of this cave when there is a camera involved. Anyways! What is his job? I don't believe in this time and day that a bus driver would be that bold and blantent to tell the black kids to the back of the bus..There had to be a reason and the bus driver will never get to air his side because he has already been tried and convicted by the media. Some Blacks look for racial discrimation in everything they see and do...They expect it to happen and it seems some like the attention it brings to them. This country is so full of hate and disgust...I wish people would put their energies into something more constructive...Wow..Are we hurting that bad for news?

I would be willing to wager,if I was a gambler, that the black students that were told to give their seats to white students were all misbehaving and distracting the driver from SAFELY driving his vehicle.Black youth seem to not be able to behave in public places...to everyones detriment.

[In response to news of a bus driver making the 9 black kids sit in 2 seats in the back]

This is such a load of garbage. Anything that ever happens to a BLACK person is suddenly a racist issue. Had that happened to a WHITE person it would be ok

She was asked to assign seats. The last names of the parents of the black kids were started with "R" and "W". Unless the white kids names started with "X", "Y", or "Z", then they would likely be in the front of the bus, assuming alphabetical order. Of course, that would assume that the black kids had the same last name as their parents... :Confused:

You know, it would take a brainless person not to realize that there is still racism in the world, it's all around everywhere you look. Now, I agree, it was wrong what happened, but on the other hand, if it were a white person that was forced to the back of the bus and the black kids got to sit up front, and us white people stood up and said something then we would all be called racist. For years I have heard the black community scream and shout that they aren't being treated equally and fairly, that they will rule the country and the white people will be slaves. Lets look at this now, welfare, food stamps, government help, it all goes to the black people. I remember my mother walked into the food stamp office one day and proved that she was not making enough money to even pay rent, and she had 3 kids. She was denied. A black woman came walking up behind her with gold chains, gold teeth, rings on every finger, and she walked out with a handful of food stamps. The white people are denied more government help then the black people. Blacks can call us names (Cracker) and bully kids around and nothing will happen to them, but if a white person does it, then they (black people) get all upset and want to sue and get the NAACP involved. They think that they have more rights then we do because they were in slavery. Well look-a-here sweet hearts I am 1/2 native American and my fore fathers (Indians) were also in slavery, they were forced from their homes and their lands, beat, whipped, and put in barricades were they suffered. Most died and only a few lived. If you haven’t heard of the "Trail where they cried" (Better known as "Trail of Tears") then read it. The white men did it, but you don't here me complaining or crying. We don't have an organized group that will come in and save the day like NAACP and Jessie Jackson. The NAACP is all about every one being equal, well when have they ever helped a white person out? Slavery was over 50 years ago, DROP IT. Move on with your life and quite holding the past THAT YOU WERE NEVER A PART OF. That was then and this is now, so shut the hell up. As for this bus driver, just shoot her and be done with it. You may think I am racist, but my best friend for over 11 years is black and he feels the same way I do (Yes I asked him about this). He doesn't look back on it at all. Oh and one other thing...Why isn't there a White History Month? Some one please tell me. I say we organize a community and protest for a White history month.

Something tells me this has little to to with race. We have NOT heard the bus driver or the white children's side of the story yet (but I guess that doesn't matter when race is involved). Something also tells me that we won't hear that side of the story. There is more than one scenario as to why the children would be sent to the back of the bus other than race.... but of course this incident would invoke the name "Rosa Parks". I bet the political vultures Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are already enroute to denounce this "heinous" act.

It is a very, very sad day indeed when people exist such as those posting comments for this article.

The whole story has not necessarily been told. There are many possibilities.

When I was a little girl if I was misbehaving or acting up with my friends enough to irritate the bus driver we would all be forced to sit at the front of the bus so the driver could keep a close eye on us. Kids obviously hated being up front.

Who's to say the white kids weren't misbehaving in some way and were made to sit up front for that reason and thus the black students had to sit in the rear?

Why do blacks automatically assume racism?

Why do blacks automatically assume the victim role?

This victim's mentality must stop. It is a chain that holds us all back. I am disgusted when I see my brothers and sisters knee jerk reactions to anything that could be perceived as racism. Anything that could be perceived as "holding us down" which, as everybody else knows, is just a form of excuse.

I will not pass judgment until I have heard the whole story from both sides, however I will pass judgment now on the people looking to use this story as an excuse to assume their favorite role of victim.

You are the problem.

I believe the media is the cause of problems when they will add and take away from a story to make it so dramatic. How do we know this really happened the way the article speculates? Do we know the whole story? Maybe these kids were causing trouble? maybe not? How do we know that these blacks were taking up a seat each when there was no room for the white kids to sit? Maybe that was their plan to have no room for the white kids and to cause trouble already the first week of school..Most white kids refuse to ride the bus because the blacks cause problems for them..(Well in NC at Least) .. My son was stabbed in the face with a pencil when he was 7 by a black and nothing was done..My daughter was shoved up against a door by a black girl for no reason...I guess they live by Power by intimidation...The NAACP always comes around when they can benefit somehow monetary. Always trying to intimidate white people and make them feel like the bad guys...Always trying to move the black person up the chain in jobs because they are black without having the proper experience or education...Very sad that they always pull the race card when things don't go their way..Why can't they strive in life under their own merits and not because they are black? We will see if the people get to hear the whole story or only bits and pieces that the media feeds to them just to get people stewing...This is what causes more hatred then anything else..The MEDIA!!!

Just for all of those who think the KKK is soo bad, read your history. The KKK was a group of white men then protected WOMEN. They even protected Black Women. Over the years it has turned into what people think are racist. This is not true. Read your history before you bash people, I have done years of study on them just for this reason.
