The victim was also black. Not that it matters to the forum.

A horrific crime whatever the race of attackers or victims. Black on black crime generally is more common than black on white, I believe.
I know of a young man who some years ago suffered a similar beating outside a restaurant on MLK here. He was on his way home from a second-shift job, and due the next day to register at Chattanooga State. He had been in trouble as a juvenile, but had straightened out, got his GED and tested as quite intelligent. After he finally got out of the hospital, he could not care for himself and retained just enough awareness to ask his social worker, "I used to be smart, didn't I?"
He was black. His attackers were black. It's a sick world, all right, but simply assigning causality to color or religion or national origin does nothing to help understand evil.

Black on Black crime is still at a all time low ion Ider, Al. But in the near future I see Yellow on Yellow being a issue.

Actually, the vitcim was white since I read the story on another site and they showed the victim in the hospital room. It just proves that blacks are just as racist as another race.

The race of the victim or the perpetrators has no bearing on this incident. Read the AJC regularly and you will see that these crimes are just as prevalent, in the Atlanta Metro Area, across racial lines.

JIT, I read about this the day after it happened. Around 20 others was involved in this beating. One of the amusement park websites had it on the main page within 24 hrs after it happened. It does have a bearing on this since the blacks was looking for any white person to beat up. It's a racial crime plain and simple. JIT, in your world it's ok for the blacks to beat up on whites and not have it called a hate crime but when the reverse happens then all hell breaks loose and the blacks want the white's hung up. It's a double standard you are playing with since.

Sound like just a crime to me. We all are some color, so color may have been a small factor, but it is still a crime.

Coaster, I live in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area. I've been bombarded with this case every time I turn on the news since day one. But I've also been bombarded with news like this and this on a daily basis also. We have black on white, black on black, white on white, white on black, brown on white, black on brown, yellow on yellow, red on black and rainbow on green crime down here. It usually isn't because of the color, it's because we are a large urban and suburban district with a diverse population crowded together with all the problems that entails. We have enough problems with crime without trying to add race to the mix. |

Here's the thing: Were it a group of whites out looking for a black...or jew...or whatever species....it would have been a HATE crime... ...but since it's yet another crime committed by the government's pet negroes...it's not. One of the huge issues I have is the 'hate crime' nonsense. Why in the hell are certain crimes escalated? Aren't all violent crimes a 'hate crime' in essence? |

Ex, the fact is that blacks feel like they are entitled to break lines. I can remember back in the 70's the same thing happened and they didn't do anything to stop it. It only proves my point which I have been trying to make and which Lincoln made back in the 1860's. that blacks and whites should never occupy the same continent.

Someone broke in line in front of you "back in the 70's," going to prove blacks and whites should never occupy the same continent.
Well argued.

Africa has plenty of land that is habitable yet uninhabited. It's where they came from and it's where they can go back to.

Should we go back to Europe? That's where most of us came from!

Stray observed: There's good and bad in all of us. Yep. Means there's still hope for me and thee, Rev. Straylight. |

If the 'guvment' wanted to send my white ass back to Ireland.....I probably wouldn't put up too much of a fight about it to be honest.
