Solely based on the video, all that is shown is a group of kids beating up another kid. The attackers happen to be dark skinned, the victim, light skinned. In the video, and in the reporting, there weren't racial epithets heard or mentioned. The only strong argument for racism is the beaten boy's testimony that he was mistreated for being light skinned--not a far-fetched argument, but still only corroborated by him.

And who took the video? A dark skinned guy who was looking to gloat over a (potentially) racist attack? If so, why would he give it to the media? Or a light skinned guy who was looking to race bait?

Did the video just happen to start with the light skinned boy standing in the middle of the street and suddenly the dark skinned boys come up and attack? Or was that all the news report showed of the video and there was more? If the former, then it seems staged. If the latter, then there's the question of what went on before the clip the news report showed.

This post isn't going to be too popular here, but what's new about that?

And while at it, is this just another attempt at jumping at any opportunity to showcase (potential) racism toward those of European descent?
If you want to be that way, you could find plenty of racist attacks, comments, etc. which are not directed at those of the majority ancestry, too.

If I understand you correctly, beating someone is not a sign of hate, but calling them names is.

Reminds me of the old joke that Baptists won’t have sex standing up, because it could lead to dancing.

I guess your belief in an abstract brotherhood exceeds the reality in which most find themselves trapped.

Are you suggesting that the white kid purposely got himself beat up by a bunch of black kids? wow.... Seems kind of dangerous to me. What if he had been killed or permanently maimed? Your suggestion seems like a absurd justification of a brutal beating. Is that really what you stand for?
