Bullies broke an eight-year-old boy's arm in a 'racist' attack after telling him to 'go back to the cotton farm', his family claim. Jordan Jackson was hospitalized after he was 'pushed to the ground and assaulted' by a 13-year-old outside Spanish Lake Primary School in Geismar, Louisiana, on November 14. The youngster had been attempting to protect his four-year-old sister J'Niaha at the time of the attack, the boy's uncle Cris Colbert wrote on a GoFundMe page.

A fourth grader yelled at Jordan to 'go back to the cotton farm', his family claim. 'My son, who understands the connotation of that statement because we've had those conversations before, was appalled, so he said 'that's racist, his furious mother Alana Jackson said. 'The child responded 'why do you think it's so racist? You do need to go back to the cotton farm.' So at that point my son began to try to defend himself because the 13-year-old was pushing him down and calling him a baby.'
