COLLETON COUNTY, S.C. (CBS Charlotte) – A South Carolina school bus driver has been accused of assaulting a 15-year-old boy for allegedly using the N-word.

Terris Devon Richard, 35, was arrested and charged with simple assault and battery on Oct. 27. Witnesses allege that Richard slammed the student’s head into a window on the bus, issued death threats to the student and his family, and vowed to “drag the victim into the school by his neck until he breaks his wind pipe” after the student used the N-word.

When Colleton County authorities responded to the incident, they saw the student — who is white – crying, found red marks around his neck, and his shirt stretched out, according to police reports. As a result of the incident, Richard, who is black, was released from his bus driver position with the district.

When reached by CBS Charlotte, Richard declined to comment on the incident.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” he said. “I haven’t been to court yet. I’m hanging up now.”

But Richard told WCSC that he reported the student several weeks earlier for a previous instance where the boy said the word around him, but nothing was done. Witnesses on the bus have indicated that a school employee was indeed riding on the bus at the time of alleged incident.

The brother of the victim told police that his brother reportedly asked Richard why he took offense to him saying the N-word, which prompted the driver to allegedly grab the student and slam his head into the bus window. According to the police report, the 15-year-old boy greeted one of his friends with, “What up, my [N-word]?”

Messages left by CBS Charlotte for Colleton County police and the Colleton County Independent School District were not immediately returned.

Ever since welfare was introduced and the Panthers took Detroit, the US has been heading down the toilet.

The minority want equality, mercy & positivive discrimination. When they are majority, there will be no mercy.

20 years ago was better. 20 years hence will be worse.

Anisah

You are aware that welfare started out being for white house wives right? Blacks at one ponit were not allowed to even have it. The problem is this, the N word has a longer history and more meaning than any derogatory word towards whites. Comparing the N word to other derogatory phrases is like comparing apples to oranges. The man was dead wrong and the boy was clearly taunting him and is racist. He asked a retorical question and the idiot driver fell for it. Plain and simple.

Ummmm…

Say it again… I don’t think they heard you….
sowhat

please…im QUITE SURE they did not hear you
Sambo

Ah yes, the n-word is far more offensive than the k-word towards Jews, or the c-word for an Asian, or the W/B-words for Hispanics. But cracker and honkey and whitebread etc are perfectly ok words to use. Gotta love the mindset that is used to justify those who have fought so hard for equal rights and treatment but really want special treatment.

Thunderbird read before you speak
Now these are the percentages of the whole US population each race makes up:

White 66%
Hispanic 14.8
Black 13.4
Asian 4.4
Other 9

Getoutofmyface

I wish my neighborhood was only 13% Afro’s. They’re at least one third now.
Please move them all away to balance things out around here. I hear too many of them say, “Dem, dat and doh”…please learn to pronounce, “Th” and stop dropping the “g” …You’re not, “goin” you’re “going”. You’re not “doin” you’re “doing”…No wonder you have 50% unemployment. You can’t even speak English; but you sure can speak “Ebonics”

DaTruthhurt

Thunderbird that is not a very good point to make when its more whites on welfare than any other race in America. Everyone mentioning race when both were equally wrong. The boy was wrong for being insensitive to a person feeling whether he was black, white, pink, or green. The man was wrong for putting his hands on the boy when he could of had a talk with him on why the word bothered him.

u jelly?

I can’t tell if this is reddit or a news site. so many trollz

Terry Furlough

u mad bro?

Jack Gnasty

LMAO!!

moonmac

Simple battery??? Slamming a childs head against a window is attempted murder or at least Child abuse. Threatening to murder him and his family? Try to kill a kid over a word? This guy needs to be locked up for a long long time!

Terry Furlough

b.b.bb.bbbut he said the N WORD!!!!!!

Phil

LOL!

Cueball

That little boy is a racist and was being disrespectful! Yeah the driver may have taken it too far, but the little boy knew that word offended him, so he thought it was funny! I bet his little @!! think beore he uses that word again!! Not so funny now. He was acting all big and ended up crying like alittle punk!!

Prissy Aries Diiva

YES I AGREE
lilmsnoitall

I agree, he was antagonizing the man.

Count Yob

Since blacks use the n-word with abandon I’m not surprised if the occasional white boy thinks it’s ok for him to use it, too. Maybe blacks shouldn’t be so quick to condemn, much less assault somebody.

bingo

“Everyone is equal but some are more equal than the others”. George Orwell, Animal Farm. Read it and learn.
whats the world coming to

exactly my thoughts – Blacks use the word as if its a part of their every day volcabolary

Prissy Aries Diiva

SO F****** WHAT IF US BLACKS CHOSE TO USE THAT WORD TO OTHER BLACKS! DOESNT GIVE YALL OTHER RACES THE RIGHT TO SAY IT! THAT LIL BOY PROVOKE HIM & GOT HIS HEAD SMASH! GOOD FOR HIM! I BET HE WONT DO IT NO MORE!

Herb Parsons

As he was being led away in cuffs, I bet he yelled out “Chris Rock and Jackie Chan, you two are NEXT”

George DeMott

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker – Rush Hour. Point well said!

Orionsbellatrix

Sweet baby Jeebus but folk these days are thin skinned to words.

Edward

Yes, they are very thin skinned. It’s pathetic. Grow up already. Sick of seeing grown blacks acting like pampered little babies.

Terry Furlough

they are pampered.. passed through school just so the school wont look bad.. paid to do nothing..
mac

another racist a$$! It just won’t end.
whats the world coming to

i agree Mac – this should be classed as a racist attack on the white boy – blacks use the N word all the time to their “BROTHERS” so they need to stop being so sensitive to words

Auric Maston

Definite hate crime.
Anon

Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, Barack Hussein Obama.

Sick brainwashed kids

He’s gonna bring happiness….. He’s gonna bring freeeeeedommmm…. Obama’s gonna bring it ….. Obama’s gonna change the world…….

daveinga

no, its not the young people’s culture causing this black on white crime spree. it is our post racial president, and his gun running a.g. holder who egg these perpetual victims on, along with every race baiter black polititian. refusing to prosecute black on white crime the same as white on black. whites have had enough. they have a saying down here, ‘you don’t see these brave $^&^&* attacking areas where citizens carry guns, do ya”? brave grown man against a boy here. he can be glad this wasn’t my son as well. i guess we know now why obozo wants our guns, huh?

ISmartaThanU

Yeah, Dave…crime started Jan. 20 2009…idiot.

Auric Maston

Black people cannot be relied upon to exercise the same level of self-control and forethought as white folks. Just look at this situation here. Juxtapose it with the situation of a white bus driver and a gaggle of blacks behind him, all shouting ‘cracker this, cracker that’.. now, we have a white bus driver jump out of the seat and go medieval on one of those black kids… instant hate crime.

This is a hate crime.

And there better be prosecution of it as such.

brit

No. There wont be a hate crime prosecution.

We saw the same under the socialist Labour party in England.
Ms. Owens

All you’re missing is a white hood you bigot.. Lol

Kind of curious for a “social construct”, don’t you think?

woaw, these comments just show how racism truly is still one of america’s biggest problems. this msg board sickens me…people speaking as if they know what it’s like to be african american in this country. guess what….we don’t…..we won’t understand the hardships and we never will. America is still paying for the horrendous mistake of bringing slaves to this country. Social research won’t give you answers here. We must learn to continue to take responsibility for the racist atrocities that America has created. This situation is no different.

Akela

“We must learn to continue to take responsibility for the racist atrocities that America has created.”

Okayyyy. Wanna ‘splain to me why everywhere else in the world the reaction to the ghetto dwellers is pretty much the same? Or is that our fault, too? Bet you just cry yourself to sleep every night over all these injustices. But the truth is you don’t really know any of these people, do you?

mike

Keep in mind that approximately 20% of young whites are anti-white, though white,
They promote the suicide of the white race. They are insane. They can’t be reasoned with.
jamar

your comment reeks with derogatory tones! Typical of someone who lacks vocabulary and ability to express themselves with clarity

Sunshine Connie

Care to enlighten us as to how to address all the black slave traders? Racists atrocities continue to look at the prisons and FBI crime statistics. Also, the welfare state of Big Government continues to enslave more and more because it rewards stupidity ans sloth and discourages work and advancement and core families. When is enough enough?

MorganGray

Sure, you address the slave traders as “Mr. Jackson”, “Mr.Sharpton”, and “Mr. Obama”.

Terry Furlough

reality + an education

What a load of self hating garbage. You don’t understand the hardships and you never will.. because you are a whiny leftist cry over spilled milk bed wetting shirt-lifting “coexist” tree hugging global warming believing moron.. go cry over will smith not having enough money somewhere else.. glory-hole dweller!

Terry Furlough needs to rollover and die

Shut up. What does Will Smith have to do with this.

Just Saying

Reality, just shut up. Blacks don’t know what it’s like to be white either. If they did, they’d realize that we have hardships too. The difference is, our culture tells us to deal with it in a civilized way. Our culture says get married before having kids. Get educated in letters or a marketable skill, work hard, save your money, and help your kids achieve more than you did. It isn’t that difficult. Black culture on the whole is live for the moment, have babies to prove you are somebody, and acting successful is much more important than being successful. They are like the lazy squirrel. They are angry because the busy squirrel spent his time in the spring gathering up nuts and eats well in the winter while the lazy squirrel struggles. But it’s not cool to study in school when you could be disrespecting teachers and spending your time knocking some girl up. It’s their fault. Stop feeling sorry for them you poor idiot. Name a country in Africa (where they are clearly NOT a minority) that is self sustaining. Look at the genocide, starvation, abuse, rape, etc. Whites arent to blame for that. Blacks are to blame. Why the bleeding heart?

OMG

It’s amazing to see how people on this site like to lump Blacks all together as lazy, on welfare, uneducated, etc. Both races, more like all races have that group of slums within their groups. Blacks are not the only ones that are on welfare. And for your comment on “our culture says get married before having kids, etc”, who is to say that our culture is correct; especially when our culture is made up of some of the idiots that are posting ignorant comments that are found on this board. On the note of blacks being lazy; I did very well in school with many other black students that were in my school. I make more money than many white people do at my age. So do not lump all blacks into one category because that is not the case. Also people in Africa are not Black, they are African; just because their skin color is black does not make them black, such as a black colored person born in France is French not black. Blacks and Africans are not the same race; blacks cannot claim a tribe, whereas Africans have tribal identities. The two groups have completely different ethnic backgrounds. And for those people out there that claim that the n-word belongs to you; that is just ignorant (just like the word means, look it up). The n-word was first used for the Irish not black slaves. Get over the slavery issue every race has been a slave sometime in history. Stop trying to use that as an excuse of why you can’t accomplish anything.

Responding to idiot

I never had a slave, and I have never wronged a black person. Also, I come from poor white people from the South who were hardly better off than the black people. So your comment really makes no sense. Keep hating yourself and your country and expecting the worst from black people. I’ll treat them just like I treat everybody else. People like you have perpetuated our racial problems. You are part of problem not the solution. Racist.

And racism isn’t even in the top 20 of America’s biggest problems. I am almost 40 and I have never met a truly racist white person. They can’t be more than 5% of the white population.
Charles Austin Miller

Yeah, racism is one of America’s biggest problems, if you’re talking about the rampant racism of BLACKS against any non-blacks. American Blacks do not OWN “certain words,” and they do not OWN the right to resort to violence when their ridiculously primitive code of conduct is violated.

Look at this story: http://www.kfoxtv.com/news/news/elderly-man-raped-socorro/nFT9K/…

Four black males RAPE a 70-year-old Hispanic man while pelting him with racial slurs. If this was rare behavior on the part of black males, this would be a rare story. Unfortunately, it’s NOT a rare occurrence. American blacks exhibit a wholly UNEARNED sense of ENTITLEMENT in raping, assaulting and racially abusing non-blacks.

And this behavior MUST come to an end before blacks doom themselves to a resurgence of American racism the likes of which they have never imagined nor experienced.
Ian McDonald

Racism will never go away. It’s a genetic thing really. If you understand primates and how they interact with other primates then you understand humans as well.

There will always be a small fraction that can get along and ignore the racial differences. And that’s wonderful.

Then there will be the majority that for the most part tolerate but distrust those with racial differences. This is natural as it extends back to a primal sense of preservation of self and the tribe. This majority will for the most part be non-violent and tend to keep their thoughts to themselves. They will get along as long as the other does nothing to provoke them.

Then there is the other extreme, the ones that are violently vocal and aggressive towards those of a differing race. They are the ones we see in the news committing atrocious crimes against people of other races.

Racism is not created by America or our way of life. It is a genetic programming that has been embedded in our core for thousands of generations. Racism will be a part of humanity as long as humanity exists. Just like it occurs in other primate species.

Yes, they would have been much better off staying in Africa..not true,, but maybe we would have been,, after all 90% interracial crime is black on White. Les we forget the yankees brought them to these shores & their own people sold off the worst they could round up.

John Smith

The boy can’t be accused of slander because truth is an absolute defense.
sick of morons

I see blacks acting like mind controlled subjects with a trigger word. Are they NOT in control of themselves at all? Its a WORD. It also wasnt said maliciously, but just the word itself changes their behavior and makes them uncivilized violent idiots. You should be ashamed, but that would take you actually comprehending this.

So tell me.. who has a problem here? Idiot blacks who allow themselves to be controlled like animals with a trigger word and the idiots who feel it is okay to assault a child. Did you all even read the article and find out the context in which the dreaded N word was used? Idiots.. you are a disgrace. If you wonder why you are thought of like you are, check the behavior of your “community”. A black kid can and has called me numerous derogatory names used constantly by blacks toward whites and I never felt compelled to harm or injure a child. I would not allow a child to be harmed. It is a WORD. Grow the hell up and join the civilized human beings on this planet.
HardCorps

The way I see it’ some little punk was disrespectful FOR THE 2nd TIME to an adult and the adult corrected the punk’s poor behavior.

Of course if this behavior continues then maybe the punk should just be tossed under the bus.

Count Yob

The “adult” lost his job and was charged with assault. Maybe impulsive violence isn’t the best way to “correct” somebody else’s behavior.

Terry Furlough

it is when you are a piece of garbage like “softcorps”..

edb

actually, you’re just a wee little person who would assault a child. period, the end.
samthesham

NOT behavior, speech.

Mike Joe

only a negro would do that… dummy lost his job

WHat now Biatch???

Your right a negro…will toss you around to teach you a lesson. Rough you up a bit. But white person goes into a hair salon and kills 9 innocent people because of an arguement with his wife (Seal Beach, Ca shooting last month )OR goes to a school filled with innocent kids and shoots and kills 9. Gimme a break as soon as a white man is wronged, he runs and shoots everyone in site, then offs himself like a coward!

Ben

Clearly the guy’s reaction was disproportionate, but as someone who deals with rude teens on a regular basis, I don’t have the least bit of sympathy for the boy—he was asking for it, and I hope he learned a lesson he won’t soon forget.

Kevin Philips-Bong

Our nation will continue to disintegrate for as long as people think that bad words from a child justify physical assault from an adult.

The only lesson the boy could have learned from the bus driver is that might makes right.

White Man from Town

Uh,folks, where do you think the white kid picked up such a “greeting”? What’s really sad here is that we have all sorts of kids being shaped by debased ghetto culture.

If you don’t want white kids to use the word n1666r, stop putting it in shows, movies and songs. Stop making it a COOL term of friendship.

And pull up your pants while you’re at it. No one wants to see your toilet-paper-deprived crack.

Count Yob

It is a problem that degenerate black culture is being sold to white kids. Some of them will be led to ruin.
NowSwimBack

BET, MTV, VH1 – all those channels are owned by Viacom which is owned by Murray Rothstein – a Jew. That is the source of the problem.

White Man from Town

Well, the fact is that there’s a pretty widespread desire to pander to and showcase black ghetto culture. Russel Simmons certainly isn’t a Jew.
