Cornell Student Assaulted (Black on White "hate crime" at Ithaca Ludacris concert?)

ITHACA--A white female student assaulted Sunday night leaving the Nappy Roots and Ludacris concert at Cornell's Barton Hall told The Sun that she was the victim of a hate-crime, which left her with a ruptured ear drum and thirteen stiches on her face.

The Cornell Police morning report noted that the police received a "complaint from a student that was physically assaulted by an unkown individual." The report indicated that the assault occurred at 11:47 p.m. and that the investigation is continuing.

The incident, as described by the victim, began when the student had a minor altercation with another girl who was at the concert while the performace was still going on.

"She said 'Get your white hair out of my face,'" the student said.

After the student put her hair up to get it out of the way, the alleged assailant proceeded to hit her, at which point the student and her friends moved to the back of the concert space.

When the concert was over, the student separated from her friends to get into her car and said she found herself surrounded by a group made up of five black females and one black male, who have yet to be identified.

"They said they were gonna f**k up my pretty white face," she said.

Allegedly, the incident turned physically violent when one of the girls slapped the student hard enough to rupture her eardrum, a blow which threw her off balance. The other five assailants proceeded to kick and punch her as she fell down.

"They pulled a ton of my hair out," the student said.

The six assailants stopped hitting the victim only when one of her male friends came out of the concert and stepped in.

"If it wasn't for [him], I don't know how long it would have gone on," she said.

The victim said doctors estimate it will take her eardrum a year and a half to heal.

"This was a hate crime, and it shouldn't happen to another person. The more people know the better," said the victim's mother.

The University is currently investigating the situation.

"We take any sort of hate crime very very seriously," said Linda Grace-Kobas, interim vice president for communications and media relations. "We will thoroughly investigate all aspects of the incident."

"I would encourage her to file a bias-related incident report," said Robert Harris, vice provost for diversity and faculty development. "We have a process and with a report we can begin putting that process to work."

Once an incident report is filed, a University employee is assigned the case to assist victims in pursuing their situation, according to Harris.

"It's really hard to live with this. I want people to know because I need to press charges. If anyone has any information, tell the police because [they] don't know anything right now," the student said.

Nice. Very nice. Thanks for giving all conservatives a good name.

""Or will this incident disappear to never be heard about again?""

Now, to which 'incident' do you refer, hmmmMMMMMM?

[DustyMoment]

Sorry, sweetie. By definition, it is NOT a hate crime. Black on white violence is just regular, ole normal violence. The only type of violence that qualifies as a true hate crime is when a straight, white male assaults any member of any protected class.

Protected classes include (but are not limited to) the following:
Any Hyphenated American (African-American, Latin-American, Asian-American, Indian-American, etc.)
Women (of all races and genders)
Gays (of all races - and genders)
People of any religion (except those that are predominately comprised of straight, white males)
Anyone from a nation that is NOT mostly comprised of straight, white males
Anyone from Mars or other recognized inter-galactic body
Dogs (any and all breeds - except those mostly preferred by straight, white males)
Ponies/Horses (self-explanatory)
Rabbits (except the White Rabbit - Alice in Wonderland or Jefferson Starship version)
3-legged Andalusian Anteaters
Members of PETA
Anyone associated with the Democrat Party
Barbra Streisand
Ed A$$ner
Alec Baldwin
(Insert your own category here)

No. I was referring to the mob action. It is like the actions of lower primates where they get in a mob and go crazy. All races do it. Lynchings are another example.

Here's another good one.....my nephew and girlfriend were assaulted by a group of Mexicans as they were leaving a Denver night club....she suffered a broken nose and other facial injuries.....he was fighting with three at once, was able to get into his truck & pulled out his gun and shot one of the attackers (he's a cop that was off duty). He truly believes they may have been beaten within an inch of their life or even killed had he not popped one of these animals. Anyway, despite the beating they took from these idiots the most the prosecutor would charge the Mexicans with was "ethnic intimidation" which made my family furious....so far he's not budged on the charges, but it's another example of anti-white politically correct bias when it comes down to deciding if a hate crime has been committed.

Yep, sure you do. OJ and Kobe will do hard time in prison too, yeah right.

[Jim Cane]

Riiiiight.

[JohnnyZ]

Ludacris is the bomb.

Cornell sucks.

[MissAmericanPie]

"Will Cornell respond to this incident with immediate calls for mandatory sensitivity training for all African-American students and faculty (they way they have for suspected white on minority hate crimes)?"

Will pigs ever fly?

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

This is obviously a case of self-defense: the black girl was battered by the white girl's hair and did the only thing she could do--assemble a mob to beat the white girl senseless. What could be more straight forward? Because it is a case of self-defense, Jesse Hi-Jackson will not be making a local appearance to protest what might otherwise be interpreted as a hate crime.

[af_vet_1981]

They need her to report it

They will simply target her like they have Kobe Bryant's rape victim. He has very vocal supporters.

[AppyPappy]

Or maybe you saw the post and immediately thought "Blacks are chimps". That's not my problem.

[TexasCajun]

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Why not just drop the N-bomb and get it over with?

I bet this gansta rapper used the word 'Nigga' 100 times, along with Ho's & Bitch'es. Not that much difference between the 'ga' and 'er' versions of the N-Bomb you refer, if you ask me.

I guess the little white girl got an eduction and will not be attending any 'Black' concerts again. ..but who knows.

"We take any sort of hate crime very very seriously," said Linda Grace-Kobas, interim vice president for communications and media relations. "We will thoroughly investigate all aspects of the incident."

...before we come to the conclusion that not only did NO hate crime occur, but that no crime occurred whatsoever, and that there has never been any concert featuring Ludacris at Cornell. I don't know what you're talking about. Your words have no meaning for me."

Sadly you are probably right!

[shhrubbery!]

Cornell asked for this. These elitists, thinking themselves soooooooo progressive, so "sensitive," so much more virtuous than the rest of us in the world outside of academe -- it's the Cornell faculty and administration that created the policies : the "Ujamaa" segregated housing, the special programs for "third world and minority" students, the kid-glove treatment for "minorities" who trashed and burned conservative publications -- that led to racial hatred being encouraged on campus.

Thirty years ago I too was attacked by a group of black women -- over my "white" hair -- though the attack didn't get physical beyond my being spat upon. And they didn't pull my hair out, they merely threatened to burn it off with their cigarette lighters. That happened on a "racially sensitive" college campus, too, though the women weren't students.

Based on the facts alleged, aggravated assault should be the charge... The hate crime factor must also be added... Hate crime legislation was designed to address this very situation... And as a black person, I would have (in fact I have) intervened very quickly because I believe those who allow the attack to continue may also be charged... Justice for all...
