Joseph Hooks is a Seattle city employee and a commissioner on the Washington state Commission on African American Affairs...police say the [three month] delay [in charging Hooks with beating a white man] had nothing to do with his Hook's professional life...A few days after the incident, Hooks spoke with KOMO News. He first claimed he didn't remember a fight, but later said he had acted in self-defense...[The white victim, Michael] McBain's injuries were so severe he's had to put some of his medical studies at the University of Washington on hold. He may need surgery to repair his eye.

Again a profoundly underhanded and dishonest post. You're really on a roll on this thread.
“All I did was ask a question.”
Asked and answered. Perhaps a “wise Latina woman” could resolve this race neutral issue.
That may be so, but that doesnt stop this being a racist act.
....yawn. Whatever.

The pendulum sometimes has a will of its own. But it does no good to manufacture a racial incident where none existed.
..... Perhaps you will favor us by explaining exactly how you know this to be the case with respect to this Hook affair.
Really? “People of color” do it all the time.
What is his explanation for being in Mr. Mcbain’s condo? I did
not see that addressed.
Don’t know. Sounds like they entered a lobby or some type of entrance or gate to the condo.
Awww, so you think this guy shouldn't be charged either, you know, to make up for the past. Idiot.
Try to read for comprehension. When it was pointed out that it took 3 months for charges to be filed, I compared that situation to ones in the past. I believe that people who commit crimes should be charged - ALL people, regardless of race. Think you can keep up? And the name calling isn’t necessary.

Liberalism is such a sickness.
“They don’t wanr equality. They want us dead.”
Sad to say, I can’t argue with that.
This is what happens when people thing in terms of groups.
"Whatie done gone beatn' on darkie forty yeahs ago, so now dis heahs payback!"
I am getting sick of the racial identity politics. One human person assualted another human person. Nothing else needs to be known except the facts of this particular case.
Not sure about you, but Im old enough to remember situations where white folks would NEVER be charged with assaulting a black person.... Just how old are you? I’m 59+ and don’t remember anyting like that. I think Bobby Byrd hung his last man in the 40’s.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
Isn’t it unconstitutional for a government to have such a thing as a “State Commissioner For African American Affairs?”
Where’s the State Commissioner for Fat Old White Guys?
