The pendulum sometimes has a will of its own. But it does no good to manufacture a racial incident where none existed.

Prejudice and discrimination is ugly, wherever or however it is applied.

Reverse discrimination is just as ugly.

If we are to be equal, which is what we all fought for, racial incidents shouldn’t be covered up, either, just because the perpetrator is gay or a person of color.

Hooks is the one who brought race into it by claiming McBain pushed him forcefully and cursed him. If that was had happened, most people would just issue a stern ‘f.u.’ to the smaller person and be done with it.

With that lame defense, it is Hooks falling back on a white person insulted a black person.

I am not creating a racial incident where none existed, Hooks already did that.

What racial incident is being manufactured? We all know that if a white government official attacked and badly beat a black man, it would be an enormous story. Obama would have probably already chimed in on the issue even though he's overseas. The mayor of Seattle, the governor of Washington, and both U.S. Senators would already have expressed public horror at this “racist attack”. Hate crime charges would be a given.

All someone did was post an article on this crime and you got all bent out of shape over it, apparently thinking it should be ignored since the perp is black and the victim white. Do you pop up on all the crime threads around here with similar concerns? If someone posts an article on a bank robbery in Minnesota where someone got injured, and everyone involved was white, do you show up on the thread asking what the point was in posting the story?

Something tells me you don't.

Rule #1 If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

Rule #2 If you can’t follow #1, at least have the common decency to pull the dirt in on top of yourself so the rest of us don’t have to listen to your stupid comments.

Again a profoundly underhanded and dishonest post. You're really on a roll on this thread.

..... 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.
