Ah ... another one of these “unrelated incidents.” Just like Carter Strange in South Carolina or The Onion news editor in Philly:

The young liberal with the broken leg, Emily Guendelsberger, is still in lib-guilt denial. About what? That should become obvious in what she writes here:
Second: A lot of people have posted comments with the classic “I’m not racist, but…” lead-in asking why the media is “scared” or “too politically correct” to report that all of the attackers were black and all of the victims were white. Well, you heard it here first: My boyfriend, whose forehead has an exact, terrifying imprint of a tennis-shoe sole on it, is not white, and is tired of people assuming he’s white because they want to see this as some sort of race war. And as I mentioned earlier, several other victims of this mob were also non-whites.

Yes, all of the kids I saw come after us were black.

But so were the girls in the group who were clearly not into the way the night was going and who screamed to warn us.

And so were the girls from Jersey who actually stopped their car and got out to help me while I was on the ground all busted up.

Will I probably be twitchy around large groups of young black men for a while? Yes. Does that substantiate the creepy racist bullshit that this incident seems to have attracted? No.

The negativity has been disheartening. From the evil kids who put me in the hospital, and who thought it would be fun or funny to beat the shit out of my friends to the people from Drudge, gleefully wondering how "the little white lib feels now," the experience has been a lesson in the depths humanity can fall to.

The major take-away point is that Emily is unwilling to give up her own bias, her "hate-on", against people from Drudge, second-amendment types, white conservatives. She dearly wants to continue hating them for their prejudice and racism.

The last paragraph is telling. A racist and feral Dad-less mob of black youths nearly killed her and her friends, yet she balances that violent racial mob against white conservatives in general.

Emily is in denial about the racism of that mob. That denial is most clear in how she describes her boyfriend Rajiv. He's "brown" (she uses that term earlier in her posting). He's "not white". She is trying desperately to identify him as close to black as she can. Well, he ain't black and no black would think of him as black. To blacks, to this particular black mob, there are only blacks and non-blacks. They attacked non-blacks BECAUSE THEY WERE NON BLACKS.

It is Emily who is seeing the world as white and non-white. There are only two real groups of racists here: (1) Emily and the liberals who put up a big facade of everyone's equal yet in reality see the world as only white and non-white. (2) The feral Dad-less mob of youths who see the world as black and non-black.

Then there are the rest of us. Like the few kids from the among the mob who took to her defense, like the girls from Jersey who stopped to help her. Like me, maybe like you. Folks who see people as people, and groups or people as groups of people. Some groups of people form for good reason. Some for bad. That mob formed for a bad reason: to act out black racist hatred against non-blacks.

Also on that AV post by Emily is the report by her friend, Meg. Look how Meg handled the mob. She did it right. She knew what would work from her experience in the high school with similar mob scenes. Here is Meg's account:
Meg

I was in the car with Hannah, and we heard a lot of noise, and I started to freak, because it sounded exactly like the big fights we get at [the North Philadelphia public high school where I teach]. And that’s when Jay and Christina ran to the car, banging on the car, screaming to let them in.

And I looked out the window and I saw James and Rajiv on the ground being kicked around by at least five to 10 kids each. So I ran out of the car at them, yelling, “What are you doing? Leave them alone! I saw you [Emily] on the ground surrounded by girls. They weren’t helping you so I shouldered through everyone and I picked you up off the ground. All the girls were talking and saying, “I can’t believe this,” and asking, “Oh my God, is she okay?” Everyone was talking at once.
