Just another excuse to pump up the fear factor. Poor kid doesn;t sound like he has a chance in that redneck environment. He sure looks dangerous in his photo
Not knowing the details it's easy to be judgmental here but my suspicion is that the kids and school administration are covering up their own racism and wrongdoing by demonizing this kid. I hope it works out for him somehow, it will probably be a long and hard struggle for him and I wish him luck.

I don't think the article has a 'black empowerment vibe' .... They just stated that he was the only black kid, playing basketball with a bunch of sore losing white boys. They then said he only plays well because he's a 'n-word'... Nothing about that phrase says 'black empowerment'. If anything, it says white ignorance.

That poor kid... if he is allowed back to that school, it will probably be hell for him. Kids are so mean, especially snobby white kids with big egos & rich parents. They act as though they own everything.

When are kids going to start standing together? Learn that they are all equal, going through similar struggles in life. When are people going to stop acting better than others.

If they have proof that he didn't make threats on facebook, that boy deserves a public apology at a school meeting with all students present. As well as an apology in the media. Seeing that these accusations with his name are all over the internet.

This is bad. I don't feel the black power vibe. School can be rough and kids can be little S**ts. Did it have to be a full scale alert?? What ever happened to the cop just visiting everyone and tellingthem to calm down???

OMG the haters will be sharpening their claws..

It's amazing how everyone is taking the side of the boy based on one picture and one article. The police are only doing there job by responing to the call of a possible impending school shooting. I think people need to get both sides of the story because if this was a white kid in a black school everyone on here would say that he is just overreacting. And all of you anti-southern hatemongers needs to realize that racism doesn't happen in just the south.
