If a mob of white boys beat up a black family yelling \"It's a White World!\" I think it is safe to say that the media and the police and all the race baiting pimps like Sharpton and Jackson would be screaming Hate Crime and Lynching from the rooftops and a thousand cable TV shows.
But if the colors are reversed apparently the definition of Hate Crime gets lost in the translation.

F***ing BS!!!!!!!

Wow....Epic Bs

hmmm, interesting to see how this will develop. Am I the only want to whom \"its a black world\" sounds somewhat off, i.e. would teenage attackers really say something like this? I am sceptical.

x2 to Pandora's skepticism. There's definitely a disconnect somewhere, and as someone who has been around black gang members, something doesn't sound right.

Personally, when an article's description of an event contradicts the police or court decision, I've found that usually the article is the one with the skewed information/perspective.

For example, there was a thread here a couple of years ago regarding an article about a court ruling in a rape case. Based solely on the information in the article, the court was very wrong, and people said so. However, someone eventually found the court's decision, which made it clear the article badly mis-represented the case.

While neither can be fully relied on, I'll trust the authorities over the media anyday.

I don't see how the article contradicts the police comments.
The headline reads: Akron police investigate teen mob attack on family
The police quote says: \"''We don't know if it's a known gang, or just a group of kids,'' police Lt. Rick Edwards said.

Where is the contradiction?

For me the disconnect is this the guy was in the hospital for five nights. If the colors were reversed we would have seen cable news outlets running stories on it before he got released from the hospital complete with Rev. Al and Rev. Jesse camped out in front of both the hospital and the police station asking why there is no arrest yet in the case!

Not sure, Will. Something sounds fishy about this. The quote \"this is a black world\" just seems wrong.

I might be imaging things, but to me it seems as if the police also is not quite sure if the guy's story is the full story of what happened there, and this is why they are calling it a hate crime YET. I don't see a problem with the police being prudent, especially in cases like this --- and I would expect exactly the same when the colors were reversed.

Agreed.

I also agree with Will -- if this was a black guy claiming attack by a bunch of white kids with the same sort of fishy/inconsistent bits to his story, the professional race baiters would be up in arms about hate crimes, and it would be seeing widespread news coverage. We wouldn't see the same caution or skepticism from those quarters, even though it would be equally warranted.

The disconnect is exactly what you pointed to in the first post:

Article wrote:...attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted "This is our world" and "This is a black world" as they confronted Marshall and his family.

vs.

Article wrote:Right now, the case is not being classified as a racial hate crime.

x3

WHatEVer. Truth be told this would have been all over the news either way, if there were even a shred of truth to the story.

I for one haven't heard one news story concerning this event, and I'm a news junkie.

Of course MJ's glorification may have had something to do with the lack of reporting on this.

Does this really surprise anyone? Life isn't fair. Nothing to see here. Move along.

This is the kind of thing I would expect in a country that uses the term “reverse racism” “reverse discrimination“ etc.

Racism has only one direction…from the hater to the hated. The term “reverse racism” implies that racism is always from white people, I have been railing against this kind of thinking for years.

This is the result…IMHO (not the event, itself)

It’s all about the brainwashing.

Your reaction is the scariest thing I've read here in a while. The idea that if the mainstream media doesn't make a big deal out of it then it must not be true!

What a dream come true for the media elite! They tell you what to think and you happily go along with them, just think of all the wonderful ★■◆● they can now force you to accept....oh, that's right, you can't think about it because they didn't report it!!

Wasn't there a Bond movie about that?

Trust me FOX news would have reported this story, perhaps I missed it hidden somewhere within the MJ over reporting.

You think my response is scary? LOL Whatever!

If memory serves, Fox morning edition did report on it

I believe it's a non issue because of this story.

it's a few years old but it can happen that hate crimes can be charged to other people other than whites

All that shows is a prosecutor said he could be charged with a hate crime....not that he really was. If he never was it just adds to my point.
But my main problem isn't the prosecutors choosing to ignore equal justice but the media's take on these things. Their selective application of the hate crime label just perpetuates the perception that blacks are inherently the victims as whites are the bigots.

The hate crime charge against Mr. Grant stemmed from statements he made in a rambling, 45-minute confession videotaped by detectives. On the tape, which was played in court, Mr. Grant said he suffered from depression and anxiety and was desperate for medication. Paranoid that a group of white men were following him and plotting against him, he shoplifted a steak knife, hid on the top floor of the garage and waited for hours, he said, until he spotted a white person

I don't recall reading that before. Did you add that after I posted?
Regardless, it does nothing to address my main point and reason for my rant which is the media hasn't had it's usual feeding frenzy for the race baiters like they do if it is white on black crime.
I understand the law is the law and the link you just posted shows the law will cut both ways but in public opinion and in the eyes of the mainstream media the law is different for people who attack their victim/pets than it is when their pets do the attacking.

On this we can agree the media and the law are 2 different things.
