School Bus
Driver Tells Student He Should’ve Been Aborted for Supporting Romney
by Philip Hodges
A woman school bus driver got fired recently for telling a student
passenger that his mother should have aborted him. This seems like it
should be somewhat big news taking into account what’s considered “big
news” these days, until you find out what the context was.
The bus driver had been harassing the student because he had a
Romney/Ryan sign in his front yard. At some point, the subject of
abortion was brought up during their political arguments, and the
12-year-old boy mentioned that Obama was pro-abortion. The 78-year-old
driver responded, “Maybe your mom should have chosen abortion for you.”
This obviously upset the boy and his mother, who took the matter to the
driver’s employer Durham School Services and its manager. The manager
apologized and issued a statement, confirming that the driver was let
go for her “insensitive and inappropriate” comments to the student. I
think telling someone that his mother should have murdered him before
he was even born is a bit more than just “insensitive and
inappropriate,” but that’s just me.
This isn’t likely to make any headlines anywhere in the mainstream
media, much like Dr. Ron Virmani’s comments about aborting “ugly, black
babies.” Can you imagine if a Romney- supporting bus driver told an
Obama-supporting student that he should have been aborted? That would
be a national scandal that would feed right into the racial
divisiveness that Obama claims to be trying to settle.
It would be the perfect narrative for Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and
Al Sharpton to tell for the next several weeks. It would be the next
best thing since the Trayvon Martin story, which had to be doctored to
make Martin out to be a victim of a white-on-black hate crime. Never
mind the fact that Zimmerman is Latino, and that he never even
mentioned Martin’s race until a 911 operator asked him specifically
about it for description purposes. And even then, he wasn’t sure. But
it didn’t matter. It made for a great story that only divided blacks
and whites even more.
There was another incident recently that involved a bus driver. I don’t
think politics were involved, but it involved race. There’s video
footage showing a group of black kids getting off the bus, and one of
them decides for no apparent reason to sucker punch the old, white bus
driver in the face. It knocked him unconscious.
These aren’t isolated events. They’re just not publicized in the media.
The media choose the stories, fabricated or not, that make blacks look
like victims of white violence. All this does is make blacks more angry
about all the “violent white people” and white people more angry that
the media ignore all the other cases. And to top it off, liberals in
the media and political arena get to tell whites and conservatives that
we’re all a bunch of racists, and the viewers fall for it.
Obama’s re-election largely depends on the notion that blacks really
are all victims in some way of white violence. Obama posits himself as
the solution to all of blacks’ problems and gets to talk about wanting
racial harmony, but he doesn’t really want that. If both blacks and
whites decided to pay more attention to each other’s “content of
character” and less on each other’s skin color, it would surely cost
Obama a second term.
