That will never happen. Whites just don't do that. My high school in the '60s was about 50/50 black/white. The blacks did things like this all the time. Gangs of them would jump on lone whites in the halls and beat them. They robbed from white students, threw white students' lunch trays on the floor and then ordered them to clean up the mess, etc. Did the whites fight back? Not at all! They meekly handed over their possessions or cleaned up the lunch mess or whatever the blacks ordered them to do. Whites simply do not fight back, and that is the whole problem. Even if, by some miracle, gangs of white kids started fighting back, the headlines would say, "White supremecist youth viciously beat up African-American honor students." I gave up hoping that whites would fight back long ago. Whites "fight back" by moving, (white flight,) or staying away from things like fairs and festivals, giving up their right to do something that used to be safe and fun. And there you have it. Wish it wasn't so.

It is a shame that many Whites have been conditioned my society to not fight back. Mom told me a story when, back in 1948, 10 Black girls bullied my aunt, her older sister. Mom was 10, my aunt was 11. First off, it is kind of bad going to your younger sister to fight your battles but my aunt did that. My mother challenged them and they backed down without much of a fight.

We have to stand up to this, be it racial or not. I was bullied a lot in the 1970s as a geeky kid, I was into things like space and radio electronics. Mom told me then that I would have to stand up and fight no matter the reason.

I'm to the point where I would not care that, if I had to stand up and defend myself, they would call me a Nazi, racist and whatnot. I think we need to quit worrying about PCism's and just defend ourselves from any attacks.

In the same way, people get conditioned to expect to do things and get away with it. Just recently I found the wallet of a young twenty-something progressive who had, the night before, been robbed at gunpoint outside his house by the typical 20-30 year old, 5'9", black male. In talking to him later along with two older women from his workplace, he said that if the other victims during that spate of about 4 or 5 robberies in two hours within several blocks wanted to identify the guy to the cops, that was okay, but that he didn't want "to persecute" the guy, but was more interested in knowing what drove him to do that action. The women said that other potential victims depended upon those that could to identify him and get him put away. I said that people act according to their expectations and that if this guy gets away with it, then he will act on his expectations of getting away with it and harm more people and then who would be responsible for that. The young guy seemed more interested in being committed to his ideology on behalf of what he thought was a downtrodden black criminal than to acting to help protect other people that he would prey on. I'm looking forward to subsequent conversations. He seems like a really nice guy, but getting mugged by reality just reinforced his progressive ideology rather than disabusing him of it.
