Also the tweet is simply a flat out lie. Here is the source that the tweet is referencing:

https://www.google.com/amp/amp.usatoday.com/story/85526458/

"The new data, out Tuesday from the U.S. Department of Education and required by Congress, show that African-American K-12 students are 3.8 times as likely to receive one or more out-of-school suspensions as white students. While 6% of all students received one or more out-of-school suspensions in the 2013-2014 school year, the percentage was 18% for African-American boys and 10% for African-American girls."

It simply cites the numbers of students being suspended by race, not that other races are not being suspended for similar activity.


Nothing in your post backed up the first sentence. In fact, the post simply backed it up, but oh lawdy, you might have to agree that black people get suspended more often despite making up less of the population as opposed to your underlying racist belief.
