The story is shocking enough, even without bringing race into it: on the way to school in Ocala, FA, a thirteen-year-old girl was beaten unconscious and reportedly went into a seizure after being attacked on the school bus by a group of fellow students.
The girl reportedly was riding the bus for the first time. Someone threw a shoe at her, and she threw it back, hitting a student. That's when the beating began. At least seven students surrounded the girl, punched her, held her head to the floor by her hair, and kicked her. The bus driver pulled the bus over, stopped the beating, and then continued driving. But the beating started again, so the driver diverted to a nearby school and called officials, and the girl was taken to the hospital.
Aside from the brutality, there was another troubling fact about this crime -- a fact that predictably did not make it into the news: the attackers were black, and the victim was white. Yet, for the first few days after the attack, not a single news outlet reported on the race of the victim. Since the attack occurred, only one news item has even indirectly mentioned the victim's race. This can't be because the information was hard to come by. The Ocala Sheriff's Office responded to my inquiry about the victim's race within hours.
Many well-meaning people will ask why race matters. Violence is violence, and people are people, so why bring race into it? I sympathize with that sentiment. The trouble is that, if the races were reversed, this would be a larger story. It would be a larger story because we have a system of racial double standards -- some written, some unwritten -- that serve to conceal the reality of crimes like this...

Not a hate crime.
What did the white guy do to infuriate Holder’s people so?

OOPS. White girl.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for hate crimes charges.
Who stole the balls from the white boys..?
A couple of white boys should have been beaten up as well..
You know,, trying to protect her...
Public schools.
There is a special place in H*ll where LBJ resides.
The cancer he helped spawn is destroying the foundations of our Republic.
Somebody call Bawb Dulls wife to cater a support rally for the beatdown supporters!
Their hypocrisy should disgust everyone.
Don't know who stole them. Maybe the same person who stole your willingness to phrase your suggestion properly. |
White guilt destroyed our culture’s capacity to hold blacks responsible for their own actions. White guilt is true racism....
Typical! I have found over the years that blacks are cowards. They will never take anybody on one on one. It is always a gang of them that attacks another person.
The fact is, blacks are far more likely to commit violent crimes on whites then the reverse. Also, blacks are far more likely to commit violent crimes on other blacks then whites. It could lead one to conclude that blacks are more prone to violence then whites. But then that would be racist, so just forget I even brought any of this up.
“...blacks are cowards.”
Not all of them. But the one’s who aren’t are unlikely to do something like this.
Ocala, FA?
...blacks are cowards.
Not all of them. But the ones who arent are unlikely to do something like this.
Agree. You said it better than I did.
