Well, I live on the other side of the river in far West St. Louis County, but I have some friends who live over there. I guess they are in the “good” part of town?

"...Two high school boys get into a fight while all the kids around chant “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.” I think this has happened in schools every since they made schools..."This was no fight. It was not one but two racial attacks on the same non-combatant boy. He was not fighting. He spent most of the video getting beat and never made an aggressive move.
Of course it wasn’t racism. Black kids spontaneously erupt in violence all the time, doesn’t matter who is sitting next to them. That is why zero tolerance laws against violence in schools are racist, as reverend jackson so eloquently explained.

I'm confident that he would have reached the same conclusion if the races were reversed.
A group of white kids pounding the crap out of a black boy for sitting in the wrong seat on the bus would clearly not be racially motivated.
Why are some people so cowardly!?

That’s why “hate crimes” legislation was a bad idea. It was never going to applied uniformly. Black on White violence wasn’t going to be characterized as “hate crime” even if it obviously was. Everybody pretty much knew this when the legislation was debated, but in a lot of places it passed anyway.

Would it be racist to ask the race of the police chief? The first responders?

I think this has happened in schools every since they made schools. This wouldn’t be news worthy except that the two kids were of a different race.That would be a cutesy PC response, but only if it agrees with the initial report.
It was not one on one; more like 4 or 5 on one.
Thugs don't know nothing about fairness. How about you?

I saw the video. If that were a group of White thugs cheering on one of their own against a Black kid, the Justice Department would’ve sent a SWAT team to Belleville.
