The mother of a 6-year-old was charged this week after her son took a loaded handgun to school and passed it around to other students in his class, court records show.

Ke’Erinie King, 22, has been charged with child abuse and child neglect or endangerment, carrying a weapon on school property and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to an affidavit.

    We also have a massive problem with racism, and when racist Americans see a black person do anything bad they spout off about how it’s “part of their culture” as a racist dogwhistle. You’re, seemingly unintentionally, sounding exactly like an American internet racist.

      Dude, only you guys can inject race when there’s absolutely no reason to. I’d say that’s your second biggest problem. Right after dead children.

        It’s just so common here. It’s an automatic assumption that a snide culture comment isn’t about America but those of us with some melanin in our skin.
