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...

I think he had sarcasm intended with truth at the same time ;)
Lol.. can’t believe I missed that one, although that is a word I have to always have to make sure I got it right ;)
Thank you :)
I am so sorry, I totally hijacked the thread >.<
:D
“dsc found no humor in my post. He took me seriously and gave me a good dressing down”
Holy crap, you didn’t see the humor in “Department of Redundancy Department?”
And pointing our the difference between a redundancy and a typo is “a good dressing down?”
Jeez, butch up, candypants.
Relax, I was just trying to get a rise out of you :)
“The educated or endowed ones may move overseas to Australia, those with savings may be able to get out, but considerable numbers are going to be left behind to slake the race-hate of the (equally immigrant) black Xhosas who run the ANC and PAN parties.”
Seeing a bit of truth about Africa made me want to jump up and dance. Thank you.
“A person stands IN line, not on line.”
Limey poofters say “on line.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
“I couldn’t care less. I’m not thinking about tiny bits of spelling minutiae like yourself.
Now go put your little tinhorn spelling badge away and go to bed so you can make in to your 5th grade class in the morning.”
(But since you couldn’t care less, I’m sure you won’t need to lower yourself in order to respond to such minutia.)
“on line”?! I’ve never heard that one.. would bother me too :p
Of course, I have to hear a lot of different English Dialects here (and online chat) from the Brits and Canucks :)
Not true.
Race and the reaction by the media to this brutal assault have everything to do with race.
If it weren’t for the Internet, I would know nothing of this brutal racist attack — and I’m a news hound.
Remember the James Byrd dragging case? It was 24/7 news here on the West Coast, on the front page of the local msm, above the fold for months on end. Same on TV.
The “White Supremacist”, Lawrence Russell Brewer, who was responsible for the dragging death was recently executed.
Crime stats from the DOJ and FBI show clearly that blacks attack whites more frequently than the reverse.
According to The Color of Crime:
*Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
*Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic.
*When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
*Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
*Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
