Letter from a school bus.

 

Hey Mr. Flaherty. Good work you`re doing. I know it`s like swimming upstream, but it desperately needs to be done. Happy you`re interested in my experience. It`s the same story you`re all too familiar with. I don`t know what to say but I guess I can expand on my comments a little.

 

Most of my experience in this matter have been in school, besides being jumped by blacks looking for white people to “punish” on Martin Luther King day, before making the connection and avoiding public on that day. Now with the internet that seems like everyday, in every town.

 

In middle school my bus was the one who picked up the kids living downtown. It had a nickname of a derogatory nature because of it, although it wasn`t the only bus bringing project kids to the school. Downtown was predominantly black and poor. In elementary school you sort of knew that a lot of the black kids were disruptive and in trouble more than the rest, but it`s middle school where kids are getting old enough to do significant damage. I lived in the last neighborhood before you got to downtown. It was one of the better ones, only one black family lived there, and they were wonderful people.

 

Worst fight I got in was while getting off the bus at my stop. There was a black kid standing up in the doorway the whole time instead of sitting, operating the door handle, and harassing the students as they had to walk passed him to get off. I`m sure this broke all sorts safety codes, but this was before video cameras, and the driver seemed to think it was cute. It`s my stop and me and the two other white kids go to get off, and of course he starts blocking the steps, taunting me yelling “it`s the honkey stop” and what not. I push passed him, and he punches me in the side of the face from behind. I turn around and he`s coming at me again and we both start swinging, I don’t know if I even got any good shots on him, but I had a lump from that initial blow.

 

The kid breaks contact with me and runs back to the bus door, where the bus driver, (white lady, who was a substitute, they all seemed to be since they didn`t last long) had gotten off the bus and was standing there asking him if he is alright before he got back on. Then as I`m picking up my books, she turns and points at me yelling that she was writing me up. I said “good”!

 

I`m sure I didn’t go to school again for several days after that, and I don`t remember getting into any official trouble over it. Interesting to note, until that point it was mostly just been constant harassment, verbal taunts, and racial remarks with a serious disdain behind them. Having things thrown at you, from who knows where, getting slapped or hit with books in the back of the head while seated, knocked over, or stabbed with pencils while in a crowd, never knowing who it was. After that fight on the bus, I had black kids say to me things like “at least you weren’t scared”, and “saw your fight” in a sort of congratulatory smile.

 

That stayed with me, and is why I mentioned prison in my comment. I`ve never even had a parking ticket, but from documentaries, and friends/family in law enforcement, jail seems very similar. You`re going to be tested, because it`s important for everyone to know who they can and cannot mess with in jail. It`s the same for these kids in the ghetto, in their world it`s important to know what the pecking order is. It`s “law of the jungle” and for many white kids, the leave it to beaver experience is smashed to pieces when they`re exposed to it.

 

Teachers, even then, seemed uninterested in what they were witnessing, unless a white kid did finally snap and fight back. Then they seemed to want to be involved, even panicked. I didn`t understand it at the time, but I assume they were afraid of any sort of complaints of “racism” brought by the black parents.

 

I suppose it`s about the same as we are seeing today, but it all seemed new to us, there was no internet, or cameras everywhere. White kids were intimidated and only interested in avoiding trouble, which only invites more trouble because that is a signal that you`re weak and can be picked on. That seals your fate for the duration of your time in that situation. It`s a foreign concept to most white kids, particularly back then.

 

I`ve seen a lot of comments on videos like the ones you highlight, where a white person will say, the black parents need to whip their kids. In my experience, black parents already beat the hell out of their children.

 

But it`s for stealing their parents cigarettes, or interrupting their favorite TV show. Only when they go on to knock over the corner store, or beat/rob someone, is when you see the mother screaming “my baby didn`t do nothin” predictably on cue.

 

Anyway, there was a tremendous amount of anxiety had by me and others, having to deal with life as a hated group, by a protected group. Looking back, the disservice to us was how unprepared we were. It changed our lives in a negative way. It stole our innocence, and ruined what might have been and enjoyable experience of childhood with good memories, instead of traumatic and miserable ones.

 

This is probably far too long and rambling. Keep up the good work.
