"Why the hate? Even inter-racial marraige is a common every-day occurance. I honestly think most white do not harbor hatred of blacks in their hearts at this point, either."

Good question. Ever listen to BET (Black Entertainment Television)? Or watch a Black movie, or a black sitcom? They (meaning the black entertainers) can't put out a comedy show, sitcom or movie without saying something about the "white man, or honky, or the man" as a put-down. It's constant - the mentality out there in the black world is unbelievable - they are constantly acting like the victim. I kid you not - just tune in sometime - you'll see. I suppose someone out there will say I'm racist or prejudiced, but, check it out - I'M not the one who's racist. One can't help but notice it.

Yep, and bitches and hos ain’t the only common subjects of rappers, either. The white man gets his share of air time.

“Where did this happen?”

Somewhere in the coverage area of this TV station that, according to it’s homepage, serves Raleigh/Durham/Fayetteville, North Carolina.

I totally agree. Even at school, there’s a knife by my bed, but nicely out of sight =) And having the knife is allowed as long as the blade isn’t begger than ‘the palm of your hand’... I learned this when one of the people from Texas asked our RA about the policy on knives in the dorms. I’m happy they’re allowed.

I have a theory that society has been at peace for too long, and people are increasingly spoiling for a fight.

I am not going to condemn a race of people because a few members of that race are murderers.

A (murder) has nothing to do with B (race).

However, if you want to use that logic, all the people listed below are White Male Serial Killers in the United States. This group of white men are responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.

Charles Albright
Richard Angelo
David Berkowitz
Robert ‘Bob’ Berdella
Kenneth Bianchi
William Bonin
Robert Charles Browne
Jerry Brudos
Ted Bundy
Angelo Buono, Jr
Dean Carter
Charles Cullen
Jeffrey Dahmer
Albert DeSalvo
Westley Allan Dodd
Mack Ray Edwards
Albert Fish
Wayne Adam Ford
Joseph Paul Franklin
John Wayne Gacy
Donald Henry “Pee Wee” Gaskins
Ed Gein
Harvey Murray Glatman
Robert Hansen
Donald Harvey
Philip Carl Jablonski
Patrick Kearney
Edmund Kemper
Paul John Knowles
Randy Steven Kraft
Peter Kudzinowski
Richard “Iceman” Kuklinski
Henry Lee Lucas
Charles Manson
Herbert Mullin
Earle Nelson
Carl Panzram
Dennis Rader
Bruce Mendenhall
Gary Ridgway
Joel Rifkin
John Edward Robinson
Danny Rolling
Michael Ross
Efren Saldivar
Gerard John Schaefer

Arthur Shawcross
Gerald Stano
Cary Stayner
Michael Swango
William Suff
Ottis Toole
Robert Lee Yates

Now, only a fool would conclude that race had anything to do with their being serial killers.

Thus, only a fool would conclude that being black had anything to do with these boys killing that poor little girl.

"...but they did not kill her because she was white, nor did they kill her to intimidate a group of people."

I don't know if this was a hate crime or not. Apparently, unlike you, the rest of us were not there. We did not see the crime in action. We did not hear what the perps said to her before they killed her, if they said anything at all (and she's not talking). And we don't know what they were thinking as they killed here. We even don't know what they think of white people in general before they committed this crime, because the rest of us can't read other people's minds.

While some here suspect that racial hate may have played a role, and some suspect not. Unlike you, no one is so absolutely sure in their opinion.

But what I am SURE of, and what we DO know, is that YOU know. And THAT is a good thing TO know.

"Is the racial climate deteriorating in the USA? If so, why?"

Because race baiters like Sharpton and jackson, and leftist media are doing a good job of creating racial tensions.

Only a fool would pretend that FBI crime stats - which show that blacks commit violent crimes at a rate seven to eight times that of whites - only a fool would pretend that reality is not reality.

Believe what you wish, but years of crime stats don’t lie. But according to you:

“Thus, only a fool would conclude that being black had anything to do with these boys killing that poor little girl.”

Because the robbers who broke into her house were black, the probability that they’d resort to murder was - according to years of statistics - about eight times greater than if they’d been white.

Only a fool would pretend otherwise. In moments of candor, few black folks make such pretensions.

If you realized that three guys were following you down the street, would you be more worried if they were black or white? Jesse Jackson gave his answer several years ago: he’d be relieved if the were white.

This is just reality in 21st Century America. Sorry you’re unable to deal with it.

“Am I missing something here? I see nothing to indicate that the thugs killed the girl because of race. Why insert that element?”

I think it is meant as a sarcasm. If a white injures or kills a black (or any member of a protected racial group) it is automatically labeled a hate crime by the MSM and the political elites. However, when blacks or members of another racial group other than white injures or kills a white it is NEVER a hate crime. That is why the hate crime laws are so insidious.

And your long list of serial killers is just plain silly. If you added up all the victims of serial killers in US history, do you think they’d be equal to a couple of months’ totals of non-serial murderers?

Maybe next a list of ax murderers and their race?

School shooters?

All make spectacular news stories, but are a tiny, tiny fraction of all murders. If those were our only murders, we’d be a blessed nation.

“This is obviously not a hate crime and probably would not be persecuted as such were the race of the Victim and perps reversed.”

I respectfully disagree. I live outside of Chicago, and I can guarantee that if a racial minority broke into our home and attacked my wife and I shot the SOB I would be charged with a hate crime on top of murder or attempted murder; but if the perp were a white guy I’d be similarly charged but minus the hate crime.

"You can expect more of the same attitude as long as blacks continue to commit homicides at a rate 7 times higher than whites. Not to mention other violent crimes. Now that's what's really ugly.

Seems to me that if a bunch of Blacks get together and decide to "go rob whitey", that is racially motivated and therefore a hate crime as well as break enter and theft. I'm sick and tired of hearing day after day on talks shows and other media minorities blaming whitey for all their woes, while they sit back on welfare and other social programs that whitey pays for. It's whitey that is the slave in this screwed up country, and I'm damn sick of paying everyones way.

There's an overall lack of candor regarding the black community's pathologies.

The statistics are compiled by the Feds for everyone to read.

From that data there's no denying that black American society is in serious, serious trouble.

But to state that plainly and without malice brings only pointless accusations of racism.

“’In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man....’”

And those are just the ones that were reported!

I live in a city that is majority black and has a very high crime rate. However, when walking down the street, I keep my head up and look out for people that may want to hurt my family or I.

If a family member of mine is raped or murdered, I am not going to blame his race, but instead the offender. It would hurt just as much and I would be just as livid no matter the offender’s race.

Now, you FBI statistics may be correct but one event, not matter how tragic, can be attributed to the race of the offender or the victim.

I really do not see that fact that the victim is white and the alleged offenders are black makes it any more tragic.

So, what is you solution?

Should we imprison all black males because they are seven times more likely to commit murder?

All I’ve done is cite statistics. I don’t think I’ve attributed anything to the race of an offender or victim, or made any statement about what scenario would be more tragic.

I have concluded that the statistics indicate that, when in proximity to either black or white individuals, one is seven or eight times more likely to be a victim of crime perpetrated by a black offender than a white offender. There’s no other logical conclusion, and the total violent crimes and percentages committed by different races has been consistent over many years.

I don’t have any solutions except education and economic opportunity (which is there for the taking), and an end to the victim culture which some feel justifies their criminal behavior, but I think anyone would be wise to be more cautious when in black neighborhoods, or around black strangers than if around white. Not racism, just probability. And, as I said, Jesse Jackson agrees.

No need to apologise for speaking the truth. Tell your PC “baiter” to take a hike instead.
