it's only racism if its white on black crime.
when it's black on white crime it's called * Cum-upins*...
get your facts straight.
No, it can't be a hate crime, the perps are black - don't you know anything about race relations in this country today? Whitey = bad, Blacks = do no wrong.
It's what they learn at home. Racism is two way street.
So whats Title XX? Canned cultural sensitivity training where its emphasized that whitey is bad?
Years ago Indiana did prosecute a hate crime of Black on white. It simply didn't get much press.
Nothing to see here folks.... please move on. Racism is a one-way street and someone tried to drive against the traffic. There will be no candlelight vigils or demonstrations for this young boy. There will be no media coverage and no publicity for his plight. Move along now folks...
It's not a hate crime if the perpetrators are black, gay, or Muslim.
(It isn't even a hate crime when a Muslim beats up and rapes a black, lesbian. In special cases such as that, it is a failure of society to make the offending Muslim feel at home in America or Europe.)
Oh man, do I feel for this kid.
I was in the same situation at Harry Ells High School in Richmond, Calif back in the 70s. There was a white student body there, but my family was too poor and I was totally froze out of that group.
Walking home in the afternoon meant walking way outside of whole block areas because I did not want to be the only white face on those streets.
It didn't get any better until I joined the Navy at age 17 -- fully a year before I was technically eligible for graduation (I GEDed, but the high school sent me a diploma anyhow) just to get out of that mess.
I threw the diploma in the trash when I got it.
dog days...
And some people wonder why I like living in Japan.
Our neighbored tract fence has been constantly barraged with graffiti, from gangs of another culture, much of the writing in their native language, while in the neighborhoods were they live, there is none, the vandalism appears to be motivated by racial hatred. We have even had a Christian church in our neighborhood window broken, graffiti and an arson attempt by gang members form the “other’ culture, but because we are not a racially protected minority we cant even get the police often out here to investigate.
I have been a really big critic of the presidents open boarders and the lawlessness of illegal immigration. Part of it is the frustration of living in my community where we are becoming a minority, yet have no representation or laws that can protect against such hate crimes, and all we are getting from our politicians is they want to bring more and if we object we are somehow racist.
Recently I have heard setting a church on fire can now be a felony in some parts with up life sentences, and even heard of somebody going to jail for printing cartoons in their own publications that might be offensive to other cultures, but when our church is set on fire and the racial mockery is printed on our own property without our consent, where is the justice?

Title XX Program
City of Gary, Health and Human Services Social Services Title XX Program is an Indiana State Child Care Subsidy. The Bureau of Child Development and the Division of Family and Children under the Family and Social Services Administration administers Social Services Block Grant funds to provide developmentally appropriate quality child care for low income families. In recent years we have seen an increase in the need for child-care under the development of the Welfare to Work Program. This past year, due to the restructuring of the Lake County Voucher Program, we have experienced an influx of parents transferred from the former Step Ahead Program now service through Title XX. Currently we have a total of 24 child-care homes under the umbrella Health and Human Services, serving over 50 children.
I'm surprised that it's not like this everywhere and I suspect that it's going to get worse.
Rush played some sound bites from the state of the black union yesterday that had Farakan calling for the burning down of the country and doing his typical race baiting diatribe while being supported by members of the 'mainstream' black leadership. Events like this don't get by the kids and they see it as an invitation to commit racially motivated violence.
Another problem is the lack of discipline in the pubic screwls. They let the problems go too far before finally taking action. Too much PC crap to consider.
I'm actually surprised that they didn't suspend the white kid for provoking the rage that the black kids feel when they see a white person and have to be reminded of the horrible atrocities that they have to endure at the hands of rich, powerful white people. /sarc
