We spoke with the man, who, almost a week later, has two black eyes and a swollen face. He told us he was leaving the restaurant when a group of black men near the door called him a "tree honkey." He said he had never heard that, but it "tickled" him, so he turned to ask them what it meant. He said that is when one man hit him, and another hit him in the head with a stun gun; he fell, and others began kicking him in the head.

What ever happen to these guys? Anyone know? Happened in Mar. 2011 There was 2 sides to the story.

This is supposed to be in Chat. Why is it here?

Sorry, but six against one boils down to there being just one side to the story.

Thanks TribalPrincess2U.

He told us he was leaving the restaurant when a group of black men near the door called him a "tree honkey." ...one man hit him, and another hit him in the head with a stun gun; he fell, and others began kicking him in the head.

What the heck is “tree honky”? I may be one. Some of my relatives probably are! haha.

[VeniVidiVici]

I would say that only one or two even look like they posses an IQ over 75.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Didn’t want to a make a big deal of it but I cam across it in my archives
and I wondered if they were all behind bars.

We should never judge a book by its cover, etc. Several may be scientists at MIT or CalTech. LOL

[Old Sarge]

I’ve combed the usual suspects, and I can’t find any reference to “tree honkey” anywhere.

[dynachrome]

I will proudly declare myself one, then!

How much of our debt will China forgive if we ship these six to Africa to work in all the gold mines China is buying up on the continent?

(start CNN mode)

well obviously it's the white guy's fault, must have said something - and by leaving the restaurant he was clearly provoking the situation ...

LOL! You might be right. Maybe they invented the Tree Honky!

That’s true and they got in the same way the Great ObamaNation got into law school.

That sounds like BS. I’m sure getting your ass kicked by 6 people isn’t pleasant, but I’m not buying that story
