By focusing so much on Ahmed and how people are fixing Ahmed's situation, we're ignoring everyone else that racism affects. I don't know, I just feel like people will be satisfied by seeing Ahmed happy and whatever that they'll forget about the systemic problems and nothing will change.

I think the kid purposefully provoked the administration into responding through prompting from his father. I believe that had any other child had shifty-looking electronics in a bag that he showed off to people and then sets the alarm on it to go off during class is looking for a reaction and would have been dealt with in a similar manner. Only by insisting that the administration reacted due to racism makes this a race issue.

No one mentions the risk of electrocution or fire from a short were he to plug his device into a socket with all the boards unsecured like that, heck even the 9v supply it must have been running on in his backpack could have started a fire with a short. A device like that is sketchy and unsafe and he purposefully kept bringing attention to it, that's all that matters in this case. Not his skin color.
