    It’s OK because he’s black … if this had been done to a European kid with fairer skin, regardless of their immigration status, either this wouldn’t have happened or there would been an uproar and the kid released.

    So the blacker you are, more likely stuff like this will happen to you in the US.

    Many people still like to believe that there is less racism in the US and in Canada (where I’m from) … but it’s still alive and well.

      I don’t know, they’ve publicly executed two white American citizens so far. So I’m not sure anyone is totally safe.

      But yeah, the less white your skin is, the more likely you are to be targeted by these traitors.
