Please do not upset the melon cart.
"Black" and "white" I can understand, but it's "white" and "African American" in the article.
The news just said it was the white kid's friend.
The difference between friend and enemy is...... the friend posts it on YouTube.
Sorry; is my impertinence showing?
I understand. I was only responding to the other poster's post that mentioned the "PC" option of saying "of African descent" or "of European descent", which is exactly what I'd like to see people begin saying (but I won't hold my breath waiting).
Attacks on white people from blacks have been occurring for years. This is nothing new, except that this time it was caught on tape. It is hatred, anger, and prejudice, when a group of cowards attack and hurt another person, just because of their skin pigmentation. This group of black teens is just as guilty of hatred, as a group of white supremacist skin head klu-kluxers attacking a black person. There should be outrage in either case. These juvenile delinquents in Norfolk and Jena should be prosecuted and punished. If the black community really wants to be part of a civilized society these should advocate punishing violence, regardless of the color of the skin of the perpetrators.
