I guess one of the lessons here is that while it is tempting to read accounts like this and look at all black people as low-life savages, there are some good and very brave black people out there. The ones who intervened are risking a lot - they have to live in the neighborhood.
The story reminded of when I was in grade school. I used to take the city bus and after school each day I was chased by such gangs while waiting for the bus. Got my butt kicked many times and after having all my money taken I would have to walk 10 miles. One day a old black guy came to my defense and I never forgot it.
We shouldn't think of all black people as low life savages -- but we should worry that youths of any color behave like this.
Humans need a good 15-20 years of civilizing by competent adults. We need to worry about babies being left uncivilized and growing up godless and wild. PC prevents us from looking at the cases in our country where de-civilization is quite evident.
Yes, and there lies another huge difference. If a white person had intervened to rescue young black women being beaten by whites (highly unlikely in the first place), that white person would have nothing to fear from the rest of the white community. Everyone would be congratulating him/her for doing the right thing, the honorable thing. Instead, because the good samaritans are black, they have to hide in fear from street savages of their own race.
Agreed. Makes me think there is hope.
