Only in the South.
A 15-year old Louisiana high schooler was charged with a hate crime after a video showed him throwing cotton balls at a Black student before whipping him with a belt.
This is Vanderbilt Catholic school in Houma, LA.

A white student threw cotton at a Black student and whipped him with a belt. Other white students laughed.
The Black student was sent home.
Tell me again how white youth are not racist like their parents and grandparents 🤔 pic.twitter.com/uQQ6jB5yP2
The white teenager, who was not named is facing battery and hate crime charges for the March 9 incident at Vandebilt Catholic High School in Houma, Louisiana.
Vandebilt Catholic High School is 91.3% white and only 2.9% black or African American, with an overall minority enrollment of 8.7%, according to US News & World Report.
Video footage taken by another student and posted to social media shows the white teen, a ninth grader, throwing cotton balls at the Black student, who is sitting at a table in a crowded cafeteria. The white student then strikes the Black student four times with a small belt.
The Black student then jumps up from his seat and pushes the other student away.
Police investigated the video and arrested the white student, who was then booked at the Terrebonne Parish Juvenile lockup.
Terrebonne Parish is strongly Republican. The parish went to Washed Up 45. He carried it by 75% of the vote. That really means that parish has some real racial issue down there.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
