" A Tennessee boy's viral video about being bullied inspired celebrities to share messages of love and support. Now questions are being raised about the family over allegations of racism and fake fundraisers.
Keaton Jones, a sixth grade student at Horace Maynard Middle School in Maynardville, tearfully asked his mom why kids bully him as she filmed him. He said his peers poured milk on him and put ham down his clothes.
"Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to them? It's not OK," he said in a video posted Friday. "They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends... People that are different don't need to be criticized about it...." "http://www.syracuse.com/us-news/index.ssf/2017/12/keaton_jones_racism_fake_fundraising.html
In other words, Keaton may have been treated as if he were a little black girl in a predominantly white school in the good ole United States.
Except little black girls don't have white supremacist Daddy in jail and a Mama educating him in the fine art of white denial, idolizing cowards who tried to maintain the slavery that likely kept most of the poor whites that fought for the confederacy as poor as church mice.

Here's what Keaton's Mom had to say in the facebook post.
“Dear butt hurt Americans, If you aren’t bleeding, no bones are sticking out & you can breathe, STOP crying! For the love, some folks clearly never picked a switch. And before y’all start talking to me about metaphorical, emotional, financial or historical blood & brokenness, Don’t. Join a group.”

MMA fighter Joe Schilling also posted on Instagram showing a conversation he had with someone claiming to be Kimberly Jones in which she said, “What happened to us whites sticking together and helping one of another against the predator?”

The go fund me page was frozen due to the racism accusations last I checked. And I'm glad.
When I try to feel sorry for Keaton --and I really do have to try-- it is because his mother has increased his life chances of being a jackass in 8 to 10 years once he's an adult -- if he's not one now.
I have to wonder
...if any black kids go to his school?
..was Keaton flappin his lips at the black kids at school -- just like his confederate flag-wavin' mama taught him at home?
..if he is wearing the required confederate t-shirt when he sees the black kids at school?And what are the chances that Keaton IS the bully whenever he see's black children at school...and he's calling justifiable retaliation "bullying" now that his butt is the one that's hurt?
I truly do hope black kids are giving him what for.. I hope black parents are not teaching their black children to let white supremacy wash over them without challenge because white kids can't help how ignorant their parents are. If black parents are still doing this, we will soon see pictures of Keaton and his one white-racism-ignoring black friend sometime soon.
That black friend will likely be the only one I'll feel sorry for because my sorrow for this little white boy only seems to last seconds at a time. I can't help but think that Keaton seems 90% guaranteed to be a future racist
...if he hasn't been fully indoctrinated already.
When I was a kid they showed us a film at school of white kids my age, 10 or 11 years old, at KKK rally's with burning crosses. Those grinning little white kids, damn near glowing in the dark with blond hair, telling the interviewer behind the camera how proud they are of their superiority.
Some white people I've seen on social media want me to be nicer or softer in regards to Keaton. But that's because a lot of white people want to think white supremacists spring up whole out of the ground.
They don't. All of the most horrible white racists you've seen were Keatons at one point.
When I look at that picture in the middle of the panel, I imagine his all white friends and all white neighbors taking a walk, riding bikes, and driving cars all of them pausing to wave while he and those other kids stand on A FRONT PORCH flying that traitorous / murderous flag that the KKK uses during their marches.
Their entire white community must be okay with him holding a confederate flag -- a symbol of black enslavement. Or maybe there are a few white people it bothers that don't say anything. And maybe there's one black or brown family that knows better than to say anything.
Mild terrorism, that flag is.
Keaton doesn't have much of a chance to NOT become a card-carrying member of that race-based bullying group called "racists."
So, I really don't know that I have an obligation to feel sorry for Keaton because 8 years haven't passed yet.
For those who might say, "He's just a kid" all I can say to that is "So was Tamir Rice."
Keaton hasn't done anything yet. All he has are racist attitudes he doesn't recognize as bad....same as Officer Timothy Loehmann in the hours, days, weeks, and months before he murdered Tamir Rice.
The racist assumptions that white Officer Timothy Loehmann took with him inside his head and heart on the day he murdered Tamir Rice may have been born inside a mother-son relationship not unlike the one you see here between Keaton and his mother.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if Officer Loehmann was born further north, to parents who taught him the most subtle, covert, love-everybody (while pretending racism doesn't exist) version of white supremacy you've ever seen.
Whichever way you look at it, Loehmann had to have such disregard for black life that he snuffed out the life of a tall 12 year old that he saw standing alone on a playground within seconds of confronting, not having had the time to utter a single word of real warning.
Loehmann was badly trained and a bad officer. That much was made obvious over time. He tried over and over again to become a police officer before a department took him on. But what is also obvious is that Loehmann's white culture taught him well. He didn't hesitate or ask any questions before killing someone with dark skin....same as the dozens of "good cops" that shot unarmed black people before him
RACIST IDEATION KILLS, even the seemingly mild forms.
RACISTS KILL
AND LOVERS OF BLACK ENSLAVEMENT, LOVERS OF THAT FLAG ARE RACISTS
WARNING: VIDEO OF TAMIR RICE'S DEATH
Too many black people have died as a result of unacknowledged white supremacy.
And too many of us have simply lived with it, trying to be gracious to vicious white children because they are "just children."
I don't know if Keaton is vicious (as rumor has it) or if he's an innocent lamb living with vicious adults. But I have been on receiving end of white racism from young children while white parents laughed "he's just a kid" I've experienced this when I was a child myself and as an adult too. So have most black people in this country.
I gave a bitter laugh when I heard black twitter ripped Keaton and his mama a new one the other day. And, I felt a little guilty. But tearing them a new one is as it should be. It's way past time that the "butt-hurt" is on the other ass.
Keaton's mama responded with the usual white claims of "We're not racists" Read it below if want...if you can stop yawning long enough

P.S. You have no idea how much self-control to NOT petty-pick this boy's appearance apart TOO in face of the likelihood that this is yet one more racism-repeating little white supremacist in the making. No idea.
