A black man was acquitted of stabbing a white man in Oregon after he claimed the attack was self-defense because the victim called him a racial slur.

Gary Edwards, 43, was charged with second-degree assault for stabbing a man in Portland near a light rail stop on July 8, KPTV reported.

However, he was found not guilty of the crime on October 31 after the jury learned the victim was using racial slurs in the aftermath of the altercation.

Blacks are too statistically dangerous to engage with any more of them than you can surely defend against.

That’s pretty hard to understand. I don’t use racial slurs but that does seem pretty harsh for what might be at worst a misdemeanor. Smells to me like there was some prejudice on the part of that judge or jury.

Cool.

The next time I am called “Whitey”, “Honkey”, “Cracker”, etc. - I will stab the jackass. Fine with me.

So now they will all lie and said the white person they targeted and attacked said “Niger”.

Such a bs decision.

Can we be acquitted because they call us crackers?

Obviously not. As a white male in America today we are at the bottom of the civil rights totem pole. Other cultures can be as impulsive as they like up to and including violence. We, on the other hand, get second-guessed by the media, prosecutors and juries.

It looks like the emergence of magic words to get out of jail free.

That will work some places; but not everywhere.

So all a black guy needs to do is lie about someone using the n-word and they get off Scot-free.

Yeah. It’s their new “get out of jail” card since the old one doesn’t seem reliable anymore. Spit.

Portland is an absolute commie shithole.

Oregon is a beautiful state, but Portland and Eugene are human filth

It’s simple. If you’re a white person in the United States today, you’re in a heap of trouble. President Trump is the only one currently staving off the coming big white reckoning, but make no mistake, it’s coming and it’s going to be a doozy.
