Is it white kids doing most of the bullying? It seems not.
Is it asian kids doing most of the bullying? It seems not.
From the Journal of Youth and Adolescence:
Although bullying is a prevalent issue in the United States, limited research has explored the impact of school diversity on types of bullying behavior. This study explores the relationship between school diversity, student race, and bullying within the school context. The participants were African American and Caucasian middle school students (n = 4,581; 53.4 % female). Among the participants, 89.4 % were Caucasian and 10.6 % were African American. The research questions examined the relationship between school diversity, student race and bullying behaviors, specifically race-based victimization. The findings suggested that Caucasian middle school students experience more bullying than African American students generally, and specifically when minorities in school settings. Caucasian students also experienced almost three times the amount of race-based victimization than African American students when school diversity was held constant. Interestingly, African American students experienced twice the amount of race-based victimization than Caucasian students when in settings with more students of color.
* Will this be part of that national conversation on race that we’re supposed to be having?
* The ‘bullying’ thing is a tactic being used by the gay community to neutralize criticism of their initiatives. It sprang up out of nowhere a couple of years ago and surprise, surprise it quickly became an issue of national importance.
I have to give them credit, they develop some very sophisticated, effective methods of getting what they want. There are really talented, committed groups of activists on the left that don’t have seem to have any equal on the right.
* This is why I say the focus on IQ totally misses the point.
The real problem with blacks is they are stronger and more aggressive.
Also, this is easier to prove cuz physical differences are more visible and measurable than IQ, the effects of which can be seen but not the thing itself.
* When bullying was “a thing,” it was perfectly obvious the promoters weren’t interested in bullying as such, but in using it as a tool to advance their agenda.
Children are bullied for all sorts of reasons, but with rare exceptions all the activists talked about was the bullying of gay or transgender youths. It’s as if bullying for other reasons didn’t take place.
I was bullied steadily from first to tenth grade, some decades ago, and it had nothing at all to do with sexuality. But it was every bit as painful to endure.
* Like maybe there was a reason for segregated schools?
* This is also one major reason why lighter-skinned blacks always seem to be way more white-hating and black-pride loving than darker skinned blacks. Having been bullied as youths by other blacks for “looking white”, yet perceiving themselves to be too dark to pass for anything other than black, they go whole-hog in hating whitey and screaming about him and othering whitey, trying to get other blacks to accept him/her as authentically black, as, otherwise, they will be othered themselves.
It’s also a neat trick, since eventually when it comes to sorting out mates, the lighter skinned ones will be prime targets as mates. The females from the start, the males a bit later. So long as they are accepted by blacks as “black”, they can end up being the kings and queens among blacks.
Note: this is also why wussier blacks (Tennessee Coates) and gay blacks (see BLM movement) also go to extremes in white hating. Totally about protecting themselves from bullying and beat downs by finding someone else to take black hate.
* I spent A LOT of time in high school fighting against black kids who were attacking my white and Asian friends. So this whole white victimization of the people of color narrative has been a joke to me ever since.
* This is yet one more example of how the narratives as pushed by the media, academia and the Democrats are completely separated from reality. What is the happy ending? Whites can’t get good press (racist!) if they push back so they flee. Hispanics and Asians don’t have white guilt so they can push back, especially if they find a way to blame it on whites. As Hispanic and Asians number continue to multiply will the media finally have to deal with black bullying or will the media continue to bury it with occasional mentions of how it is all white people’s fault?
