Negative. The liberal media beats the racial drums when it's white on black and disappears when it's black on white.

In truth the attack may or may not have been racially motivated, it's something worth looking into, but nobody can say that it definitely was just based on what we see here.

Dude, you need to get a grip. As soon as this thread was posted, generalities started flying out from everyone....

"Blacks only fight in groups, they're too afraid"

"The white man is getting screwed" and yada yada yada.

Sometimes this site makes me embarrassed to be a Chiefs fan.

Look, there exists a reality where both crimes, in Jena, and this one are completely heinous, and even if it were racially motivated on either side, making wholesale accusations about an entire race based upon a sample size that could fit comfortably in an SUV is a ridiculous and ignorant leap.

I want to clarify that I did not say all blacks do this, nor are they the only ones. I have seen rural white kids pile up 2-3 on one before...and have been under one of those piles in another town.

Someone was taping this, because they knew that particular group of clowns was about to dog pile a 13 year old kid....It should be treated exactly the same as it would if it were 7 white kids and a black kid. No less, no more.

So do you think as a black man I watched that video and was like "Get that white boy!" No I wasn't. It made me feel sick to my stomach because I have a 12 year old son and have friends white and black with sons that age. I would never want that to happen. Don't let some thugs have you generalizing all black people.

How is this breaking news? It's been on Fox News' site for several days.

It's just plain sick that this crap happens, but it does. Update, original story, and Norfolk TV station WAVY report:

"UPDATE - Teens face charges in mob beating

Sep 25, 2007 03:36 PM CDT

Investigators say that by the end of the day they will have secured petitions against 5 teens in connection with a mob assault of a 13-year-old victim on Saturday.

Suspects range in age from 13-16. All of the teens are charged with Assault by Mob, a class one misdemeanor. They each face no more than 12 months in jail and a fine of not more than $2,500.

Investigators believe the altercation between 5 black teens and one white teen was not race related. They also believe that an earlier altercation escalated into an assault caught on video tape. They further determine that the incident was not gang-related.

Assault by Mob is a serious offense and all teens charged will have to answer for their action in a court of law."

Funny if a judge would rule that each of the perps when convicted would be sentenced to the same ordeal.

I don't give a shit if the kid beaten was white or black, but I give a shit as to that it happens. Where are the parents? No where to be found.

Shocked, I tell ya!

I agree that we can't say that it is racial until we see/hear all the evidence. I know this may be hard to fathom, but just because it happens to be a group of black kids beating up on a white kid doesn't mean it was because he is white. There may be a good chance that has something to do with it, but I don't think we can assume anything until all the facts come out.

I completely agree with that.....but, if the roles were reversed, would that still be a possibility to some people in this country? Or, would it be a bunch of KKK members jumped a defenseless black kid?

I know the media tends to jump on white on black crimes and ignore black on white crimes these days. So, you may be right about that. But that doesn't necessarily mean any of these crimes are racially motivated. And don't even get me started on hate crime legislation as I think it is ridiculously unnecessary.

BTW, in Sharpton's defense....they asked him about this the other day on Fox News and he said something to the effect that his organization would condemn these kids if race were indeed the motivation.

That was my point. To me, it doesn't matter either way. White on Black or Black on White. Just because their are different colors does not necessarily mean it was about race. But, when you get to the point of 6 on 1, the race aspect should at least be looked at as a possibility.

So who was video taping this attack and why the **** didn't they jump in to help the kid?

They watched Seinfeld's last episode before going outside?

Good question. I guess I just assumed it was one of their friends. You know, filming so they can gain street cred.

Maybe they were planning to put it up on youtube.
