Everything you said is true but it doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with this case. Until you know that all the perpetrators were born out-of-wedlock, or that all the people who cheered them on were born out-of-wedlock, then you're just dealing in assumptions. What if it turns out that one of the perps or cheerers has his father at home? Would that change your opinion?
Look at post 333. Someone bounces in and, probably sarcastically, wonders if a hate crime has been committed. He's hoping to have something to throw in the liberal's faces. He's almost wishing that it was a white girl. That's what the libs race-consciousness about everything has led to, and that's what I've been trying to fight, as mentioned in my original post.
If you are saying that fatherlessness is a bad thing for society, and has been horrible for blacks, I'm right there with you. But if you're saying that something like this couldn't be committed by white kids, we'll have to part company.

For the record...when I FIRST heard this story without any of the details...my INITIAL assumption was that everyone involved was WHITE. Sociopaths come in all colors, and abhorrent teen behavior knows no racial bounds.
My only point is that the ROOT cause of this type of behavior...not ALWAYS, but LARGELY...is illegitimacy and fatherlessness...behavior that is endemic to the black community. And while I agree that the focus should NOT be on the race of the perps, I sincerely believe that it is not possible to openly address the topic of illegitimacy without any mention of race...especially because the mere mention of illegitimacy will almost certainly draw instant accusations of racism FROM the black community.
