“What would the reaction to the beating death of Sean Patrick Conroy have been if he were black and the five youths were white? Would there be an automatic assumption that the motive was race-related? I don’t know the answer, but if we are to continue to debate race issues as Obama makes his march toward the presidency, this type of tough question must be asked. “

Hey Robert, I think you know the answer to your own question.
If Sean had been Negro and the youths white, ALL of the screaming media, politicians and police would be calling this a HATE CRIME, and ALL of the white boys would be in jail.
