I was googling a local news video on some gang shootings in my school’s neighborhood because I plan to discuss the incidents in class with my 5th graders. When I recently revisited one of the videos, I found this vomitous response from some skin head who crawled out from under a rock to post this.
Oh Oakland, you’re the melting pot of America. Did I say melting pot? I meant chamber pot. Because Oakland is a toilet full of the excrement of society. Thank you liberals. People who work I hope you like it, BECAUSE YOU’RE PAYING FOR IT. So the next time you see an illegal or some welfare slime walking around with their 15 kids, feel happy, you’re paying to raise them. Oh and when they grow up, and rob and murder someone you care about, even if they end up in prison, you’ll pay for that too. I just wonder how much longer the people who work can pay for this exponentially increasing gutter slime.

My response was this:
Brian- It sounds like you must not have spent much time with the people of Oakland. Your ignorant, hateful and certainly racist ideas are disgusting and should be embarrassing to you. It is to no one’s surprise that there are tragically high rates of crime and brutal acts of violence in areas of poverty. As someone who teaches in a school less than a mile from the scene of both shootings, I would like you to know that there are wonderful, loving, hard working families in Oakland. When you broadly describe an entire city or population as “gutter slime” you sound strikingly similar to Hitler. Last time I checked, there are some pretty horrific people outside of Oakland and impoverished areas too. Was Bernie Madoff also an illegal or gutter slime with a house in the Hamptons?

What is wrong with people? I know that that there are people with these ideas and beliefs circulating in their blackened hearts, but it continues to shock me when I see or hear it. Makes my blood boil…
