Teenage boys in large groups often tend to behave cruelly. It's no excuse -- they should be reprimanded and made to understand why what they did was wrong -- but the scene itself is really familiar. Just happens to have a political overtone in this instance.

The problem is your adding 'Its not excuse' to your OP was plainly an attempt to excuse the behavior. Bad acts are bad acts, them being common is horrifying, not an excuse.

So saying the behavior is not excusable is an attempt to excuse the behavior. Makes total sense.

my dude. it did not "manifest" into racist taunting— as if by some divine law of Teenager Group Dynamics— it's that the kids are racist, were socialized as racist, and did something racist. That's literally it.

I so wish people would use the word “some” when talking about entire groups. I firmly believe your observation, while true for some, is not true for the majority of teenage boys.

Not trying to pile on or side with Jeet but do you think this particular display of racism could have something to do with the climate Trump has helped create? Non-rhetorical question

Your tweet was an attempt to minimize these teenage boys' behavior by describing it as typical of bad behavior by teenage boys in general.

Based on my recollection of Trump rallies, they behave cruelly as adults too.

No his first instinct was to point out you referred to their racism as “cruelty”.

Goodness. Try to see some grey. And remember that these boys are already mostly raised up. This video shows boys disciplined into rascist half-grown bullies. *That* is not human nature, & by saying it is shows your inability to breakout of a worldview instilled in you.

Grown men, little boys, or teenagers stop with the boys will be boys! My son does not act like that and does not think it is OK. If you can turn your gaze for your own comfort, you are just an oppressor who damages and hurts, too. Be better. Please.
