We are all responsible for our Actions

It is really monstrous at how far we as humans with intelligence and just old fashion common sense could see our children behave the way the are behaving. I am talking about incidence of racist behavior in our high schools where children are subject to harassment because of their race, symbolic auction of other student, nooses on school grounds, racist literature, shootings ending in deaths as in New York and in Texas and shooting of black parishioners in a South Carolina church. Neither black nor white children are blameless. The hate is palpable. The black students allowed themselves to be auctioned by fellow students knowing better. These children are responsible for that. But remember that the atmosphere is heavy with hate for them and others who are black and living in this atmosphere is numbing and giving in to it is not right but happens any way.
