David Lattin is spot on in everything he said, good article.

Khadeem's mom is also spot on ...

Don’t misunderstand Lamb. She’s not condoning that SAE video. But she says her prayer for her son is probably not much different than the prayers for the students expelled for their role in the video. A prayer that he be not shaped by the worst when something bad happens.

“No parent wants their kid to feel bad or to be in a bad situation,” Lamb said. “All of that aside, I think the best thing that can come from this is Khadeem will get to, in a very safe environment, witness a socially ugly thing and make a decision on how it will affect you, and if it will affect, and if it will affect you, what will you do. And that’s a good thing.

“Sometimes lessons come coated with cotton candy. Sometimes lessons in life are hard. At the end of the day, you still have to be a better person.”

That was David Lattin’s message, too, in so many words: “Idiots tend to jump out anytime anywhere. Just the way the world is.”

No wonder that Khadeem seems like such a well grounded young man.

Yep, wish more people (news, OU, athletes) would take this advice and put it in context. I'm guessing most of the people who lived through segragation realize this SAE incident was harmless and are in disbelief about how big it has gotten

Actually the people who lived through segregation are likely thrilled at the swift rebuke and unwavering punishment dealt out to the perpetrators. Shows how far the country has come. Still some ignorant white trash left but when they get brave enough to speak their heart they are slapped down forcefully and nearly universally.

Still some ignorant people of all races left but when they get brave enough to speak their heart they are slapped down forcefully and nearly universally.
