Words have power and racism is alive. As long as those facts remain, racist language will exist and effect people.

What he said was true, they only have power if you let them. He spoke on behalf of himself, to him words do not have power, to me they do not have power either.
I think that is basically proof that words don't have power unless you allow them. If they really did they would effect people the same way.
Racism is alive true, not to the extent people like sharpton and jackson would like you to believe though.
The kid was a introvert, basically never spoke unless he was forced to. If he was black they'd have told him to go to africa. If he was white you can tell him go back to the trailer park.
Kids are kids, it's too bad they are little fucks, I was one too, I got teased just as much as the next guy, and I teased just as much as the next guy.
Anyway, like 5 minutes after this happened I knew there would be threads/news articles/ debates about this. Could video games be at fault? or violent movies? What else can we throw on there? Racism?
The kid was fucked up in the head, there were 100s of warning signs that he was not mentally stable. Not all people are born with a good head on their shoulders, and anyone forced into the kind of mental illness this kid had, was not all there in the first place.
