Huh. Sounds like they were just being "good students" of today's public education.
The ugly truth is, many, many black people are taught racial hatred everywhere: in their homes, "churches", schools, and from their "leaders."

SEATTLE - A 16-year-old boy from West Seattle says he was held hostage and beaten for hours, all because of the color of his skin.
Shane McClellan says two men kicked and whipped him at gunpoint - and told him they singled him out because he is white.
Tim McClellan, Shane's father, says he barely recognized his son after the brutal assault.
"I didn't know if he was alive or dead," Tim McClellan said.
The incident happened as Shane McClellan was walking home from a birthday party at a friend's house Tuesday around 2 a.m.
Shane says two men called to him from the top of a staircase near the intersection of 14th Avenue SW and SW Holden Street. The men asked for a light, and when Shane walked over to oblige, they knocked him to the ground and started kicking him.
The two men knocked the frightened teen around on the staircase, making racially charged remarks.
"They started bringing up the past - like slavery - being like, white people did this," Shane said in an exclusive interview with KOMO News reporter Shomari Stone.
The attackers stripped off McClellan's belt and started whipping his back.
"They said, 'This is for what your people did to our people.' They were like whipping me with my belt, my studded belt," Shane recounts.
One of the men held a gun against the back of his head and burned his neck with cigarettes.
At one point they shoved McClellan's face into a hole with the gun against his head. They also urinated on him and poured beer over him.
"What he told me, when they were beating him with the belt, they were saying, 'I don't like white people,'" says Shane's father, Tim McClellan.
Shane recalls, "They're like, 'Aw, white boy, what are you doing? You can't hang out this late. What are you doing around here?' They're like, 'White boy has no belonging - being out here at 2 a.m.'"
"They targeted me for being white, and they made it very clear thats why they were assaulting me," Shane says.
The boy told police that one of his attackers appeared to be black and the other Asian or Pacific Islander.
The victim's father says this was nothing short of hours of torture.
"Put a gun to the back of his head and told him if he said anything they were going to blow his head off while they sat there and burned him with cigarettes on the back of the neck," he says.
The two assailants held the victim on the ground for some time, and Shane eventually passed out.
When he regained consciousness, the attackers were gone. They had taken his money, a coat and an MP3 player.
Shane waved down a passing car for help and met his family at the hospital.
Seattle police have referred the case to their Bias Crimes Unit for review as a possible hate crime.
Detectives told the family they are working on a photo montage of possible suspects - and will see if the victim is able to identify his attackers from the line-up.
Shane is now out of the hospital and recovering at home.
But he gets chills when he looks at the photos that were taken of him right after the attack.
"Gets me shaken up every time I see it," he says. "I don't know, I just get vibes overall from seeing those pictures."
He says he has learned not to wander through the neighborhood at 2 in the morning - and he hopes his attackers are caught and charged with a hate crime.
Who do you mean by “they”?
I know many black people I would trust with my very life.
It is unfortunate, but for self-preservation, just how many people who value their life and their property wander about after dark in major urban areas? The anti-social zombies who inhabit the streets after dark are about in most. It is a sad comment on our culture.
A 16 year old doesn’t always think that way.
Liberal Seattle likes to think it has no race issues. It does. More cooperative race relations exist in the deep south.
I like some of the thoughtful responses that video inspired on u-tube...;-)

Yep that is why they bring up the immigration issue to use the race card.
Another group of black thugs videoed a beating of a white girl, then put it on youtube.
I noticed that there were several similar videos available. I had no interest in looking at any of them. They celebrate the lowest denominator of society.
Do you have much experience dealing with black thugs?
I do.
rank hostility is the rule, not the exception
Someone call Samuel Colt & Dan Wesson.
The Central Park Jogger wasn’t attacked by the five who were convicted. They were released after DNA cleared them all and implicated a guy already serving life in prison for other assults. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisha_Meili
So they’re reasons for never classifying it as a hate crime, was possibly based on the very sketchy details that got the kids convicted in the first place. It wasn’t a hate crime.
Ditto that. There have been many news stories in Seattle about blacks targeting whites for a beat-down soley because of their race.
Not to mention the complicit black community support of the man who shot 4 police in cold blood at a coffee shop not that long ago.

Are you really that stupid?
Are you really that UNAWARE?????
Blacks have been teaching their kids “whitey owes them” since the 1960’s. Add it up, dullard. That is for MORE than 40 years, idiot.
I went to a mixed middle school, saw whites be beat up for laughs, and OTHER WHITE KIDS THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.
I am just sick of the crap whites just want to ignore because reality is too ‘unpleasant’ for them.
WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE...
I’m sorry, hate crimes are not to be leveled against anyone that is not white.
I have personally witnessed black express that now Obama is in office there will be a “revolution” and “white people will see what it feels like”.
I agree with you.I think it is pathetic that so many FReepers are trying to blame the victim here. So he was out too late. I guess that means it was okay to beat him to a pulp, and torture him with lit cigarettes. Brother!
