Are these incidents becoming more common? Drudge has another clearly racial teen beating linked on his page today. Is the racial climate deteriorating in the USA? If so, why? Times are pretty good for jobs. All races are featured prominently in the media, lots of rich black role models out there. 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.

I don't think so. Reporting is getting better.

it doesn’t matter how good minorities have it, they will always find excuses to hate..it’s easier to be a victim than to actually have to work at something.

From Heather MacDonald:

“The reason that the black incarceration rate is the highest in the country is that blacks have the highest crime rate—by a long shot. Don’t trust the police, prosecutors, or judges to give a fair picture of black crime? Then go where the bodies are. Los Angeles is representative. In the first seven months of 2007, blacks in Los Angeles were murdered at a rate ten times that of whites and Asians. Who’s killing them? It’s not whites and Asians. While a minor proportion of the assailants of blacks are Hispanic, the vast majority are black themselves. Nationally, blacks commit murder at about eight times the frequency of whites. In New York, any given violent crime is 13 times more likely to have been committed by a black person than by a white person, according to the reports of victims and witnesses. Though they are only 24 percent of the city’s population, blacks committed 68.5 percent of all murders, rapes, robberies, and assaults in New York last year. Whites, who make up 34.5 percent of New Yorkers, committed only 5.3 percent of violent crimes. These ratios are similar across the country. In Los Angeles, blacks committed 41 percent of all robberies in 2001, according to victims’ descriptions, though they constitute only 11 percent of the city’s population. Robbery victims identified whites, who make up 30 percent of the Los Angeles population, just 4 percent of the time.”

Her article on the “Jena 6” and race relations in America is available at City Journal and well worth your time:

“Are these incidents becoming more common?”

Ask yourself why during the sixties the media unanimously,and spontaneously decided to start leaving out the race of criminals and victims.

I think the leaders of minority hate groups keep stirring things up to keep the money flowing in.

Just because I think that illegals create more problems than they are worth, it doesn’t mean I hate all other minorities.
I AM a minority, now, here in California.

Sure, there are still individuals that maintain the old hatreds. But, most of us do not go looking for someone to hate, like in the KKK days.

I don’t know if it was a hate crime. It doesn’t matter. She is still dead. It was just a stupid crime, because those kids haven’t been taught any better than to take what they want, and murder to try and cover it up.

My heart goes out to the families involved, not just the girl’s family. All of these kids need a mother at home, and a father to lead the family.

Seems to be difficult to find these days.

Here is the link to the thread on FR where the Drudge linked teen beating video and aricle is hosted.

Looks like more than 'new kid in the neighborhood hazing' to me.

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.

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

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