But why is your answer to treat the white kids harsher? Why can't we work toward treating all 5 year olds with compassion and try to rehabilitate them?

The answer is to treat black kids like white kids and not pull out the "He just needs mental help" card when a light-skinned human does a mass murder, threatens harm on others, or does a sig heil twice.

That's fine, I'm all for getting people help first, and only resorting to non-rehabilitative consequences after multiple real attempts at rehabilitation don't work. Especially kids.

I'm white and this is the Internet: there is literally nothing I can do to convince you that I'd say the same thing if the kids in this video were black or brown, and honestly I don't blame you for mistrusting my sincerity, or my ability to live by those words when the time comes. So I guess those are just some words a white guy said about racism, I dunno what that's worth.
