Anybody seen that movie HOT ROD? There’s a joke where Hot Rod asks the girl, “Who would win in a fight between a grilled cheese and a taco?” The girl answers, “The grilled cheese, but only in a fair fight. If we’re talking prison rules, the taco would win every time.” Hot Rod’s reply to her answer is, “Wow, that’s pretty racist... but correct.”
That’s the way this thread makes me feel.
Aside from the parents, is there anyone defending the black kids’ behavior? What makes everyone so immediately certain that the black community is supporting the attackers and the white community is in for another Duke lacrosse-style racial injustice?
Most parents, black or white, would take their child’s side of any serious conflict, even when the child is clearly in the wrong. I don’t think that’s a reflection of what the entire black community is feeling.
In the article, they even mention that the bus driver was black and he was assaulted as well.
And as far as I can tell, if a city is majority black population, its elected officials should reflect that population. This “critical mass” talk seems fearful and backward. The presumption that majority black means no justice for white people ever is silly and sort of primitive.
How about O.J. Simpson? Remember that? There is very little justice for white people anymore. We are always the bad guy, and now these fiends are beating, raping, and maiming people, backed by the law. The other day, some joker in a firehouse in the same city claimed to have found a noose threatening his life sent by white people. Guess what? They found out he devised it himself. Guess what? He isn’t being prosecuted.
But you don’t even want us to talk about it. It offends your little old sensitivities. Too bad.
Can you say Jena 6?

B.S., I doubt that there is a parent on this board that would lie to protect their child like these scum bags have in this case. I would disown my son if he and a bunch of other thugs beat up anyone much less a woman.

Do some research and get back to us.
“Most parents, black or white, would take their child’s side of any serious conflict, even when the child is clearly in the wrong.”
Really? I think Eaker summud it up quite nicely: “B.S., I doubt that there is a parent on this board that would lie to protect their child like these scum bags have in this case. I would disown my son if he and a bunch of other thugs beat up anyone much less a woman.”
Most profoundly racist statement on this thread.
Just guessing and may be wrong, but you don’t know anyone who lives in Baltimore, do you?
By that statement you are saying that the President of the United States should be a member of the white race because he/she reflects the great majority of American citizens. I agree with you.
O.J. Simpson agrees with you.
You should have a chat with my kids. Ask them who's side my husband and I would be on if they were in the wrong. They know and that is why they don't steal, harass and display direspectful behavior to anyone. I know they are kids and do stupid kid things but there is a line that they know NEVER to cross.
Can you prove that is true? If you cannot, I suggest you re-write it as your opinion of immoral, dishonest parents. Then I could agree with you.
We've had almost exclusively White Anglo Saxon men as presidents.
(Anglo-Saxon?) So? The majority of my family is Catholic and John F. Kennedy was the sole Catholic president.
I believe I have enough sense to want a strong, no-nonsense leader for our country...a moral, honest, experienced person with a determination to fight the forces, abroad and at home, which want to destroy us. Hopefully that person will surface to become our next president.
