According to this, this white kid gets beat up by a group of black kids for dating ablack girl. His dad has to fight not only for making this a hate crime but also the fact thatthe community is ignoring this incident all together. He maintains that if this were a group of white kids beating up a black kid for dating a white girl, everyone would be screaming. and I agree.

Where is Jackson and Sharpton on this one? I mean they are for the racial equality right? More evidence of your racial double standards, and the notion that only white people can be racists. add this to Gates gate.

Haven't you heard? Minorities can't be racists or discriminate. People say it all the time in D&ST, so it must be well-founded...right?

Jackson and Sharpton aren't for racial equality though. They're racists, pure and simple. Everyone else however simply ignores it because it'd be controversial or something. I don't know why though, it seems pretty clear cut.

Police have made no arrests and are still investigating the motive, he said.

Wait till after an arrest to see what they are charged with. I'd be surprised if it wasn't racially motivated.

The story has touched a nerve with several members of Buffalo's African-American community, including a local pastor who leads a predominantly black church in Buffalo.

"At first, it didn't affect me the way that it would have if I heard it was a black teen attacked," said the Rev. Darius Pridgen, who spent years fighting for civil rights for African-Americans.

"But after I saw his father on TV pleading with the community to find the assailants, I decided I had to go after the people who beat this kid."

Pridgen said he felt that the community has turned a collective blind eye to the beating. So he gave a fire-and-brimstone sermon at the True Baptist Church on a Sunday after the attack, appealing to his congregation to help find the culprits.

"He didn't deserve to be beaten this way," Pridgen recalled saying at the service. "If you believe this, put your hands together."

If it was a black teen, Pridgen said, "We would have been protesting with flags and everything else."

Shouldn't you be asking where are the white protesters Lowing?

Why should there be protesters at all?

Nope because either way, there would be no white protesters. The only time white people show up is when justice has not been served regardless of race.
