A viral video showing the beating of a 13-year-old white boy by three African-American youths in Florida has left hundreds of thousands of viewers horrified, but critics say the case doesn't seem to be attracting much sympathy from self-styled civil rights activists.
In the chilling video, three 15-year-old boys repeatedly beat and kick a victim police said was left with a broken arm and two black eyes.
Although Florida came under fire in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting and George Zimmerman's acquittal by activists Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson - who called it an "apartheid state" - neither has spoken publicly about the bus incident. But one reason the case has not become as racially charged as other attacks may be that many news outlets have either not shown the first few seconds, before the victim goes down behind a seat, and others blur out his face to the point his race is no longer apparent.

Gun control and, more importantly, roll-back of Stand Your Ground laws.
You are a good Dad. I rode school buses like this; or walked home and we endured endless abuse. And that was 40 years ago. My parents refused to believe it, and we just had to endure.
Thanks; I’m a mess, but I’d never tolerate that. I never understood trailer parks until I was old enough to realize that the alternative for many would be living in a city (with all that implies).
When I was younger Hispanics were just appearing, and they were a quiet lot. Now they’ve over-run the place, but for the most part are quiet, peaceful people. The youngest ones, raised in the wider culture, are different but still preferable to the alternative.
You can thank OPRY WATERS, UGLY AL, JESSIE, THE FOREIGNER, LITTLE SPIKE, NBC and the rest who falsely planted the seeds that these drones bought into about the Zimmerman case. You could see the hate in their eyes.
At some point, street monkeys like these will run head first into their “Bernie Goetz,” come to Jesus moment.
Then, the wailing and gnashing of black racist teeth will be heard for miles.

Aww Jeez, I posted it twice, posted it twice.
Sorry folks, a typo twit moment that I haven’t had in a few years.
Black Rage Ping?
Here’s my tale of riding the bus.
It was 1976 Alabama...and the bus was complete chaos. I was 6 years old, riding 4 to a seat and kids standing in the aisles, with kids of all ages - to include high school.
Some of the high school students would smoke...and I still remember the refrain “Mr. Nichols is coming”, which meant it was time to put out the cigs.
My brother and I were scrawny white kids, who got off at the very last stop (you see, the miracle of forced busing caused me to go to school a long, long way from home - instead of the neighborhood school that was close by). Our status of getting off last meant that nobody wanted to let us sit with them.
So, we would go through a daily ritual - we would ask to sit down...none of the illiterate high school kids would let us...and Mr. Nichols would make them let us sit down. After around a week, these feral students retaliated...and my brother and I got to ride the entire trip with knives to our throats. Just a pack of black teens holding knives to some scrawny 6 y/o whitey kids’ necks, as the bus rolled down the road.
My brother has always been very industrious, and he found a work around. We couldn’t afford school lunches, so we brought a packed lunch in a lunch box. We each would save one item from our lunch, and use it to bribe a black girl to let us sit with her. So, we changed from getting our throats nearly slit to a daily shakedown. Looking back on it, she was probably desperately poor, and probably didn’t eat at home.
Then the route changed. They decided to drive all the way to the end of the route (my stop), and let us out...and then work back towards the school, letting people off. I switched from last stop to first stop. The result: You ever see a pack of wild dogs on tv, fighting over a dead animal and tearing it apart? My brother and I were the dead animal. We’d step on the bus and get yanked into a seat...these guys would literally punch each other as they fought over us.
Anyway, I can very much relate to your story about getting stabbed. The bus was a lot like stepping into a cage with the animals at the zoo. You’re trapped in there, and in a lot of ways its the law of the jungle.
Yep. Been reported on Miami TV news...with NO MENTION of the race of the victim.
Got bias?
I can relate. My post #29 chronicles some of my bus adventures.
When I tell my story to people, they often ask “why didn’t you tell your parents?”
I don’t know. Its hard to explain...but it never even crossed my mind. It was a different era, and even at 6 years old, I felt ashamed that I couldn’t defend myself on the bus. The last thing I would have considered was bring my parents into the situation. One day my brother and I really got roughed up getting off the bus. We were near the back and had to walk a gauntlet of much older kids to get off. They started thumping us and pulling at our clothes and spitting at us. My shirt got torn...and this was a shirt that my grandmother had just given me after a vacation...so it had some tourist destination painted on it. It was clearly recognizable as the brand new shirt from my grandmother...and it was torn. My parents were furious that I had ruined it. I remember they pressed me as to what had happened, and I just felt ashamed about the entire incident...and never did tell them what really happened.
Oh Come on people, these are Africans, it’s ok, they live this way all over the world. Studies show they murder mostly their own. Sometimes they will attack others, but mostly they kill their own. Due to the fact they kill mostly their own kind, the beating of a white kid would prove they really aren’t being prejudice, just Africans.
like the PTO/PTA....the teachers do not really , really want the parents having a say about anything..
we are to be quiet little subjects, and take whatever comes our way, no matter what, and just shut up and go along...
if that means having our houses robbed, our kids attacked, our cars stolen, our persons beat and our female population raped, then so be it...the cops will "take care" of it...right?
Blacks brutalize whites disproportionately every single day. . For how much longer before whites say enough is enough?
Colin Flaherty, who writes for WND, has documented the media’s intentional failure to report black on white crime. I am reading his book, White Girl Bleed a Lot, and this incident in Florida is the tip of the iceberg.
Oh, a long time. Socially induced white-guilt has been carefully crafted and nurtured and runs very deep.
Just three ‘yuts’ breaking a “cracka”. Nothing worth protesting here - no money, no welfare checks, no extortion opportunities, no nuthin’.
Jackson and Sharpton no where to be found (because they don’t give a shit about white people).
Hope the next “cracka” victim is armed and willing to defend himself. Then JackAss and Sharletin will be there like “white on rice”. Oops, that wasn’t PC.
Rewrite: “Then JackAss and Sharletin will be there like flies on fresh shit”.
Now, that’s more PC and truthful.
Article in today’s, oh so objective (NOT), Tampa Bay Times also makes no mention of the race of the victim or those that beat him. Also, haven’t heard that President Obama has or will call the parents of the kid who was beat up......hmmm???
Everyone that sees this needs to remember this tactic.
If you go down they will stomp on you (and most notably, your head) unmercifully. When you are unconscious they will take everything of value from you.
They do not care if you die. They know there is no retribution, no real punishment and that they will be covered for.
This video is played out over and over in our public schools that have mixed populations.
I cannot say without being banned what would happen if that were my son...I am so, so very through with seeing the same suspects beating people...
That’s some story... really. I can only imagine.
