    This is obviously not something the police should be spending their time on (hopefully they'll hear the girl out and decide not to press the charge) but it's understandable that the parents feel insulted.
    Both kids should apologize and that should be the end of it in my opinion.

    Hmmmm in that case I am a bit dissapointed, if these black folks complain about racism the police has to seek it out.
    Agreed. I am interested to know which law has been broken, and whether both children have broken it. It is a shame that the police did not advise the parents to take another course of action. Any chance of these two remaining friends has receded. Disappointing indeed.
    We all learn from experience. Unfortunately we don't all learn as much as we should.

    They settle it with a good game of M:TW. Modded, of course, with XL or N:TW.

    The non white kid is probably embarrassed because of what his parents did.

    Friends should be able to call eachother names and just laugh it off.

    Sufficient for what? Not my fault blacks look up to whites. History has nothing to do with it, why encourage a sense of victimhood? There is none nowadays.

    It always in good fun though and as a joke, Just like this probably was, Some idiot parents blew it way out of proportion. If it bothered the kid that much demanding a simple sorry would suffice

    As it is for two, four wrongs don't make a right.

    This is obviously not something the police should be spending their time on
    No, much better to turn up mobhanded to arrest a pensioner who confiscated a colleagues ball after it had smash the glass in his greenhouse.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Because it is demeaning and just plain wrong.

    Don't get out much, do you ?
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Both families move to Canada where there is no such thing as racism. And they live happily ever after in Canada.

    Well not in Finland anyway, maybe you still have a negroe hanging at every lamppost and are still shipping them to the cottonfields for a crashcourse in respect, but otherwise I have no idea what you are talking about. At least here blacks have the same rights, so they should just stop complaining 'owww we are so disciminatut' because it's very annoying. The only ones discriminating blacks are the pc crowd who just won't stop making excuses they would never allow for themselves.
