"Racist" incident at Alta High draws interest of US Department of Justice

if accurate history was told since the first writings of historical records,i feel that we would not be discussing all these issues dealing with race.lets face the facts,contributions throughout history,here and abroad have come from every race and ethnicity,there was just a systematic effort to omit these contributions from historical record.i dont know if this country will ever reach the apex of being color-blind and inclusive.we all have faults,shortcomings,and are nowhere close to perfection,yet we allow the differences that we do have, to always center around race and racism...

WOW TigerWoodsBalz African-American dont have the right to be racist and where do you get equal+status? And how are African-Americans getting away with 1000x what whites can get away with? among black men Americas says his chances of going to prison in a life time is 28.5% while a white mans is 4.4%on plenty of occasion white people have committed crimes and just got a slap on a risk while a black man does it and get put under the jail. Joe Horn March 17, 2007 shot two guys in the back after 911 repeatly told him not to and he walked outside his house told 911 he was going to shoot them and shot them in the back nothing happen to him. also in 2007 or 2008 a black man shot and killed a white man who brought a white mob to his house the black man shot him dead defending his house they charged him with second degree manslaughter. If that not far from equality I dont no what is. The NAACP is to ensure political, educational, social,and economic equility for minority groups, I dont no where the heck you live but America still has equality issues in some of those areas or do you have wool over your eyes? if you want to put European in the front of America stop cryn about it and do it. Alot of white men and women in America dont even no where there roots are from but they came to America and took over things like this was there land in the first place and treated every one that did not have pale skin like they were not even citizens of America and this went on for hundreds of years and still exsist in America today. No one is better then the next, alot of people are nieve to the fact that just as well as you have ignorant black people you have just as many ignorant whites, hispanics and ect.

Everyone in this country is racist, to some extent, except black people. They are allowed to be racist because of how their ancestors (many of them) were brought to this country. You all know that. They have official equal+status in the USA now. They get away with 1000x what whites, and even Hispanics can get away with as far as anti-white or anti-Asian things.... Go ask the store owners in every inner-city who robs and shoots people the most. Everyone knows this, but nobody will admit it in public. And when one counts, then they are accused of being racist for reporting, acting on what the tally is. Then the NAACP and Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton rally they people. You might like black males. On your fantasy football team. But what would inner-cities look like if they were all re-united back to Africa where their roots are.... since they still refer to themselves as African-American even though they've never been there and I've been to Europe. I was born here in America so I am American right?

A justice department that refuses to prosecute blacks because they are black for voter intimidation is no help in a racist situation, as they are obviously racist themselves. When grilled about this by congress, Holder said, "You are talking about my people". As attorney general, I would think that all Americans were his people, not just blacks. If not, he should be fired.

Racism is illegal- you cannot have "white only" restrooms. Racism is NOTHING like rape. Rape is not like racism at all. Accusing someone of rape is NOTHING like calling someone a racist. Someone can be racist and not impose their hated on those around them. Both of you are ignorant to laws and perhaps need a dictionary. Immigration reform is not on par with racism. The problem is when legislation under the guise of immigration only acts to create a bias against citizens and resident aliens where none is due. Such legislation only fans the flames of racism and does little to solve the problem.

I agree with ROUNDMAN. I would also like to add that racism is NOT ILLEGAL.

I hope this doesn't turn into a mob, finger pointing witch hunt all over Utah. And, bleed over into the immigration reform that is going on. It could easily happen. I hope everyone remembers that racism and bigotry are really ugly things and that it can get out of control real fast. Whether one is the accused or alleged victim, this ugliness is no respecter of gender, race, religion, social identity or anything else. Sometimes those who start out as alleged victims find themselves on the giving side of the bigotry. Be careful, Like crying rape, the accusation of racism is easily made but almost impossible to take back.
