My husband and I and another couple were attacked by a large gang of black teenagers just because we parked our car on their street. The parking lot was full at the event we were attending and street parking was all that was left.
It was absolutely amazing the names we were called just before they attacked us with glass bottles. We escaped with some nasty injuries but, it could have been a lot worse.
My best friend in college was jumped by 5 black football players while coming home from a party. Friend was sober, they were all drunk. They screamed racism and the college (particularly the campus newspaper) believed them. Fortunately, the campus police were intelligent enough to think about the situation for about 2 seconds and realize that my friend wasn't stupid enough to try and kill himself by attacking five people that were all twice his size. Also, fortunately, it occurred at the end of the year, so it quickly blew over. Friend made it out with a black eye and a couple of cracked ribs, but his name was intact and none of racial foolishness stuck to him. Football players, as far as I know, got no punishment at all - and it wasn't for lack of ID as there were only a handful of black people attending the school.
I think that it's interesting that out of the small sample of people on this thread, that there are so many who have stories like ours. This means something, I think.
