Scary story you portray from your classes.My theory is blacks hate EACH OTHER way more than they hate Whitey,The Jews or”the System”.And,as you point out,lots of that hate comes under the category of colorism,where dark skinned blacks hate the lighter ones.Yet mostly its just jealousy because its well known that light skinned blacks get most of the”props”in black culture.
I am in”the hood”most every day and I see it first hand.Mr middle aged white conservatively dressed me gets ignored most of the time.The worst vitriol is reserved for those”niggas”who”ain’t s****”
In their words,not mine.

I suppose I'd go into more detail but the system is messed up. I'm just happy I escaped with my life. The general rule is if a mark is left on the attacker the whole system goes after the staff member even though you may be just trying to protect yourself so I took it even though I used to teach martial arts. Now I'm injured for life and the culprits are back in the LA streets. Had I left a mark on the attacker I would have been up on charges for assault with a deadly weapon due to my prior training. That three staff members ended up in the hospital and it was documented by outside sources was problematic because the gov't couldn't very well cover it up and I thoroughly made certain there was not a single scratch on the attackers. AND, I pressed charges. Staff attmpted to "hang" me asking the 20 questions LOOKING to see if it was all done by the book....thankfully it was.
Now, were I administration, a psychologist or some such title those young kids that attempted murder on myself and other staff would go away for a long time and the staff member would be transferred to a cozy job the way it's supposed to work
Basically I had to sell everything I owned for the bills and such, took me four years to prove to workers comp and the pension board I was injured directly from the incident and not from a war I was in etc. The hard part was being thrown back into the fray with the same predators....they never moved them even after pressing charges, and the administrator began a paper trail on me( it was duly noted she was after me as I was labeled a "troublemaker," they kept a second chart I sort of found one day revealing incredibly nefarious statements by very high ups to try and nail me any way they could, also photocopied by me) until finally I won the Comp case, then won the following case....it took the lawyers years to decide whether I was this percent or that percent disabled. I can no longer work, can no longer teach martial arts and basically am starting over despite the pension....I'm too young to really retire and too old to consider another profession but trying anyway.
Yes, the "hood" speak is pretty nasty used on each other. I even saw black staff getting hammered by using the same lingo with the kids and written up. It was sad to see young white or hispanic kids not understanding that blacks could use the "ni**gah" word on each other which was socially accepted, but wham, when another used that slander the kid would get clocked and even staff would chart the kid was a rascist. The racial baiting was as tension filled with the adolescents as it was with certain staff members and one always had to be very very careful to not use the same terminology. I even had one staff supervisor to tell me not to directly quote the curse words, ghetto slang and racial statements( ordered me to in direct violation of the rules nd regs manual) As I said, I'm happy to be out of that hole but it burns me up to this day certain staff were running paper on me when I was the victim

Are you an officer? I don't really have much of a theory except in certain socio-economic areas hatred breeds hatred and with broken families, gang mentality and the lousy city life in general it's hard for kids to break away from the ingrained learned hatred just as the palis hate the Jews for no other reason than their parents hated them, and the whole mentality on the West bank and Gaza is to kill the "apes." the MSM picks up the internationally accepted anti-semitism and negates the fact that there isn't a fair and balanced news network that doesn't spin the story to reflect the politically corrrect views of whatever the international comunity wishes to hear. Even our own State Department is anti-Israel, but I'm on a tangent.
Back to this article/horror story, these kids/young adults as far as I can see, enacted a hate crime most probably for a variety of dumb reasons and it should be considered a hate crime. I've still got this nagging feeling journalists steer clear of stories like this because one word mis-spoken, one phrase mis-interpreted could start another riot like the dumb Rodney King riots I saw first hand. There are activists that LOOK for these things and weigh every single word...believe me though this story deserves more media atention I'm sure it's a "hot potato" and declared off limits....very two faced, again similar to the thousands of Qassams dumped on Israeli cities yet the retaliation is considered" Israeli aggression" upon the "refugee" palis...it's sick, sad and true.
