These are the beautiful people. They never do anything wrong. 93We moved from the city to get away from things like this. The statement rings in my ears with a burning familiarity. It's the same thing heard after Paduchah, Pearl, Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Edinboro, Springfield, and now Littleton.
Some people never get it.
I have yet to hear of one black or Latino kid in even one inner-city high school plotting, let alone carrying out mass murder. Christ, if these kids had been black they would have been followed around the hardware store for so long that they would never have been able to buy any pipes, let alone the other ingredients needed for the kind of explosives Klebold and Harris concocted. Must not have been violence. But I doubt very much whether black people were astounded. That people of color always knew the myths to be bullshit, while the dominant majority refused to listen and look at themselves only makes the situation more tragic.
