Episode notes

The tiny town of Greendale, Wisconsin is among the whitest towns in Milwaukee County. Their kids have been the perpetrators of racist videos and rants several times in the last year. And this has been going on for years. Most recently, a Junior at Greendale High School was called a N** three times (the second such occasion from the same whit girl) and the Black girl was suspended and threatened with arrest for disturbing the peace when she yelled at the girl for calling her a Ni**er. The first time it happened and the girl reported it, administration told her to use her calming techniques. Tyra DeAhl talks with Brian Poitier of ConversationsWith.Net about his print story. This is part 1 of a multipart series about Greendale.
