White Students Bullied More Often Than Black Students





Like politicians, law enforcement agencies focus on high school student bullies. It is easy to control high school students. But they ignore the larger problem of bullying abuses by teachers, police, FBI agents and informants, Communists, and assorted adult psychopaths, e.g., psychologists and psychiatrists. Government policy directs school administrators to try to stop  high school bullying. But in adult society taxpayer funded private and government agencies, whose mission is to protect vulnerable persons (e.g., the human services industrial complex [MA State Rep. Marie Parente's term]), join in the abuses. In high school they try to give students a voice in their battle against bullying. But in adult society bullies censor the victim, and declare him crazy so that no one will pay attention to him. While shunning and isolating the bullied student victims is condemned in high schools, among adults it is a recognized acceptable practice to isolate the victim in order to make him an easier target. Ridicule and humiliation, character assassination, provocations, threats and insults are regular features of crime families, police, Communists and FBI harassment.

[From article]
Nearly 1 in 4 surveyed U.S. students say they have been bullied in school. That's an improvement, but the prevalence reinforces just how difficult the problem is to solve.
[. . .]
Educators and researchers praised the decline, but said the large numbers of students still reporting that they are victims reflects that the issue is difficult to understand and address, particularly in a world of rampant online social media where malicious statements can be made anonymously and shared quickly and broadly.
[. . .]
Overall, bullying can be physical, verbal or relational — such as leaving someone out on purpose.
Respondents said the being made fun of, called names or being insulted was the most common way they were bullied at school. Being the subject of rumors or threatened with harm was also common. Much of the effort in schools to tackle bullying has focused on helping victims understand they should come forward and will get support and educating bullies about how their actions affect others,

"Our biggest goal is we have to give students a voice as they battle this bullying behavior," Buie said.
[. . .]
A higher percentage of white students — 24 percent — said they were bullied than black, Hispanic or Asian students.

The survey is from the School Crime Supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey.
