    Memphis schools aren't meant to be segregated, but a large amount of students at public schools are black and at private schools are white.

    This is very true but I don't thing it was on purpose that whites go to private and blacks go to public.

    A 63 year old black custodian. Was accused of stealing the white teachers phone, and was accused by the white teacher. Soon they found out that the white teacher actually had never lost the phone out of her possession.

    I think that you should add you latter of feedback to your summary.

    When was this?
  • Sam B on 20 Feb 14
     
    This is a very though case. Until we see some more facts, it cannot be clearly determined if this was an act of racial discrimination.

    This is am one growing problem with discrimination of blacks. This is key because people still blame African Americans, weather this was true or the teacher did it. There is an unfair trails with blacks.
  • Jack F on 20 Feb 14
     
    Yes, I mean he could have been lying but there is definitely a lot of racial discrimination that the lady had only blamed the 63 year old black custodian worker.
  • Jimmy T. on 20 Feb 14
     
    I think that this case definitely has some racial discrimination involved. However, I don't think if you looked at the security tapes you could pin the custodian. He has to go into every room to clean it.

    This is definitely racial discrimination. A white teacher claims to "lose" her phone so she blames a black worker. Also, the only people questioned were black. There is definitely racial discrimination at that school.

    I like how you knew what the real problem was and you were very clear about it too. Was that the comment or the description though?

    This is a good example of racial sterotypes. I thought this problem was only with police, but I guess it has spead to every one. Are there any other records of this like this happening?

    This can show how people are quick to judge someone just by their color. This also can lead us to employees being wrongly accused of something they didn't do just because of their skin color.

    This article talkes about the racial discrimination in our community. Although, it didn't have enough information/evidence. Because of this we need further evidence but I think this will help us in our process of racial discrimination in our community.
  • Seth R on 21 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Sam. There really isn't enough facts or proof to really call it racial discrimination. I'm sure the teacher though that he stole it because he has access to any room when he wants to go in.
  • Hewes S on 21 Feb 14
     
    Is this really going to take us into further detail about our project and if how can we pursue?

  • If the races had been reversed, this would be a major national news story. There is absolutely no doubt that national media would be in a frenzy right now. About thirty black teenagers, in Warner Robins, Georgia, celebrated a snow day by rioting and committing racially motivated hate crime mob attack. Five white adults were brutally attacked by the mob. One of the victims was a woman who had an infant baby with her. The thugs posted the this photo (right) on the internet to gloat about the attacks. The thugs screamed racial slurs during the assaults. The total number of arrests has increased to five. Since the perps are all juveniles, there will be very little repercussions for their actions. From Macon Telegraph… Three more teens were arrested Friday for their alleged involvement in an attack at Warner Robins High School last week when the school was closed for snow. D’Angelo Montell Roquemore, 17, of Warner Robins, has been charged with aggravated assault in the Jan. 29 brawl, according to a police news release. In addition, a 15-year-old boy from Warner Robins and a 14-year-old boy from Warner Robins were each charged with aggravated assault, the release states. Police did not release the boys’ names because they are juveniles. Two teens already were arrested in the incident, bringing the total number of arrests to five. Shymalik Raekwon Mitchell, 17, of Warner Robins, was arrested Wednesday an

      Something not fair is how if this were the other way around, this would be very major. It seems like media today is still racist.... just now to white people

      It's a good topic but this does not apply to racism in Memphis.

    3 black thugs called a white awful racial slurs, and brutally beat him.

    In the article I feel like it is one sided. We didn't here from the black point of view, what if the 5 white people threatened them? I feel like you need to add to the tags. For example, assault. Also, you highlighted almost all of it and Mr. Cummings said not to. Also, Georgia isn't in our community. We need to find the other side of the story, like what caused the black kids to kill them. What were the white people doing to provoke the blacks to kill them?
  • Graham W on 19 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Sam it really doesn't apply to Memphis because every night on Action News 5 you always see that someone either kidnapped someone or murdered someone. It is also black people and white people. So it wouldn't really be a big deal if a white guy murdered someone randomly. This happens every day in Memphis either a murder, abuse, or kidnapping, its not a big deal white or black.

    "A statue honoring James Meredith stands at the heart of the University of Mississippi's campus, not far from the the Grove and a short walk from the football stadium. Meredith enrolled in classes on Oct. 1, 1962, integrating the school known as Ole Miss, but was only able to do so after deadly riots erupted in Oxford, Miss. The statue of Meredith, unveiled in October 2006, depicts him entering the campus. This week, university police found a rope noose tied around the neck of the statue as well as a Georgia flag from before 2003 (the year that state adopted a flag without a Confederate battle sign)."
