But you can tell the difference between simple jokes -- which may not be harmless to the target -- but are still just jokes vs true hatred for other races. And like Kane said, a lot of the time people who are racist don't even know they are.

So I think there's a difference between saying something "racial" and being a true racist -- like those kids on that bus. You can bet they were raised to be this way, and it doesn't surprise me that it's in what is basically considered America's heartland. I feel bad for anyone who may have been caught up in that situation who didn't agree with what was going on. There had to be a few, or else how would the video have gotten out?
I'm with you about there being people there who didn't want this to happen.
But that's why people have to make the hard choices; there were signs before this.
No way did someone start this chat without having some general idea of how it would go.

If you see people playing with matches then get out of the house or risk getting burned.
