We are going to wait a long time for leaders of the “White community” to go to Norfolk and lead a 10,000 white-person demonstration against this display of racism. Here is the rule: when white kids attack black kids, it is racism; when black kids attack white kids, it is youthful exuberance.
I know, I went through High School in Southern Maryland in the early ‘70s. It got a wee bit rough at times.

I think most people know that blacks are just as capable of violence motivated by race as whites - maybe even more.
My guess is that if you questioned Sharpton or pointy headed academics about the difference, they would say that historically blacks have suffered more under white oppression.
That gets them off the hook for having to address individual cases, like this one, where the blacks are being blatant racists.
