Mmmmmmm, pie!
I'll start by admitting that I haven't read this entire thread, nor have I read much about the topic in the news. So if my observation has already been discussed I apologize - but: is it possible that it isn't a racially motivated act at all, but merely one of logistics, meaning, the driver was arranging the kids in the order they would get off the bus, and the white kids all lived in the first area, and the bus went to the black neighborhood last?

I did not read the thread either, but your theory is , how should I put it without offending you...., somewhat wild....

Actually, we did use that kind of language, regularly, in the OCR.  Far more regularly than here.

I, however, will pledge not to curse, except in response to others who start cursing at me first.  As happened above.

Please remind me of that pledge if I stray.

you might have used it but it never showed.

No, apple, it did show, through use of ! and * in strategic places. And it was a lot more common than it is here.

In case you didn't notice, AC used a similar tactic ... the ! ... when he started cursing me out today.
