OK - so if a Black (errr...excuse me - African-American) cabbie had been beaten by a gang of white boys, we all know it would be plastered across all media sources as a race-related/hate-crime.

So why is it not portrayed that way when it's a gang of black thugs nearly killing a white guy?

Oh- that's right, it's only a hate crime when it's committed against a minority by a white person/persons.

I put these thugs in the same category as the islamist terrorists - not worthy of breathing the earth's oxygen. I sayhunt them down and hang them....but that's just me.

Oh - and I did search in every way I could think of and found nothing posted.

This article says nothing about anyone's race. Why do you assume the perps were black?

Just watched the video - not one mention of the color of the perpetrators of this crime - they were referred to as "guys," "young men."

Be careful there are some here who would ask tell your hood is showing for saying the word black.
