Here is a question for you IceNine (or anyone) ~

Say that you are the parents of the little girl attacked in this racist crime? How would you nurture and guide her through this terrain so she doesn't become a racist herself? Or, more importantly, how would you prevent the poison from spreading throughout yourselves?

By the way, Jesse is in Benton Harbor, Michigan today trying to assist after a Black man died in a high spped chase ~ he was on a motocycle and it was alleged the police chasing him nudged his bike causing the crash. (this witness has since recated this allegation). There were riots and burning ~ an extremely volitile situation so Jesse arrived to offer his help.

All you could really tell her is that the assholes who beat her were not a fair representation of all blacks and hispanics and that she should not look at all members of their races in the same light as those who did the crime.

Just because one black, white, red, brown or yellow person does something shitty is no reason to hate ALL black, white, red, brown or yellow people. People should be dealt with on an individual basis, as there is nothing about a certain race that makes all of them good or bad.

To semi-quote South Park:

Should the motivation for a crime in any way affect the sentencing? If you killed a man for cheating on your wife, would that also be a hate crime? The motivation for a crime shouldn't affect the sentencing.

This is a terrible thing to read, and those criminals should be punished. As well, this terrible racial abuse holiday should be brought to attention. People should know that the attack was racially motivated.

But, they shouldn't be punished for beating someone up because of her race. They should be punished for beating someone up, period.

May 1 is 'Beat Up a White Kid Day'

12 girls, 6 boys accused of kicking, choking 13-year-old Caucasian girl

A 13-year-old Caucasian girl was brutally attacked by a mob of black and Hispanic teen-agers in what appears to be a racially motivated "hate crime" committed in honor of "Beat Up a White Kid Day," reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Authorities say 12 girls and six boys, aged 9 through 15, beat, kicked and choked the girl near Wilbur Wright Middle School in Cleveland, Ohio, in observance of a May Day ritual among the teens.

The Plain Dealer reports police were tipped off that a racial incident might happen and arrived on the scene as the crime was taking place.

Delinquency charges of felonious assault, ethnic intimidation and aggravated riot were filed against the 18 in Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court late last week.

If convicted, the teens face a minimum of one year in a juvenile facility.

Carmen Naso, supervisor of the juvenile justice unit of the county prosecutor's office, told the paper that evidence indicates the victim was attacked because of her race.

According to Naso, the victim remains under medical care and suffers blackouts as a result of the attack.

Five of the assailants attend the middle school with the victim and received 10-day suspensions.


Damn, me and my boys were doing this back in the 80's!


That is really good to know. I am sure that you are proud of that.


keep up your fucking whining and I'll come and give you a good old-fashioned beat down!

Good. Now we must make this a reality. Quick, go outside and drunkenly shout out that Carrot Top sucks. Yell it until the police come, fight them, get arressted and then state the holiday. If that doesn't work, it will at least be entertaining.

I sooo do not agree with this. Motivation should most definately affect sentencing!!!

I believe you meant to say ..."if you killed a man because your wife cheated on you, would that be a hate crime??" and
the answer is NO. That would be an act of revenge.

Hate crimes are crimes committed against another for no reason other than bigotry and intolerance. Victims are chosen solely for what they represent..be it white, black, jewish, etc.

I feel that "Special Circumstances" regarding motive is a good thing and doubling/increasing punishment will send a message to the perpetrators as well as the rest of the world.
IMHO...Ignorance should be a punishable crime in and of itself.

In my eyes ... if these kids beat this child up because she ripped off their lockers during gym class...they should still be punished but not with the severity they should receive for beating her up just because she is white.

Motivation is very much a factor in determining punishment.

My entire life, growing up in Hawaii, there was a similar "tradition" on the last day of school each year. It was known as "Beat-Up Haole Day." It probably still exists.

This thread should be locked.These types of threads do nothing but create negative feelings,heated disagreements and vicious name-calling.I wonder if that was why it was started in the first place? Yes,this "Beat Up A White Kid Day" situation is awful,but there are MANY racially-motivated examples of violence that takes place every day,all around the world.Are you gonna do a thread for those too?

You make a very well thought out and excellent point. Let me add some stupid thoughts of mine to it.


I also think that it determines whether this person will do the crime again. If you beat the shit out of your best friend for fucking your wife, does it mean that you will do it again? Probably not and while that person should be punished, I don't think he should get the same kind of sentence or treatment as someone that isolated a random person of a different color (and notice I didn't say black, in case any conservatives are going to get on my case!).

I believe...and I may be wrong...that the main point behind this thread was to demonstrate how "unevenly" bias crimes are handled.
If the situation had been reversed - if some white schoolkids in West Virginia decided to celebrate May 1st as "beat up a n*gger day"...they'd be having front-page stories all over the country the very next day. Al Sharpton would be there so fast, his hair might curl up.

Say that you are the parents of the little girl attacked in this racist crime? How would you nurture and guide her through this terrain so she doesn't become a racist herself? Or, more importantly, how would you prevent the poison from spreading throughout yourselves?

By the way, Jesse is in Benton Harbor, Michigan today trying to assist after a Black man died in a high spped chase ~ he was on a motocycle and it was alleged the police chasing him nudged his bike causing the crash. (this witness has since recated this allegation). There were riots and burning ~ an extremely volitile situation so Jesse arrived to offer his help.


I live in Michigan and I don't know if this particular picture of 'T-Shirt' (the guy who was killed) made it to the national news, but the one they showed on local TV showed him making a gang sign into the camera.

One thing's for sure, if it was a black girl who was beaten, there would be a major fucking uproar in this country. The NAACP, Jesse, Rev. Al, and all the rest would be going nuts right now. This issue will be forgotten about soon enough.

I think most of us would agree how horrible it is when abuse occurs -- especially when the motivating factor appears to be race, gender, religion, orientation, or some such distinguishing factor.

This sort of thing should be publically condemned by all people. I wish Jesse Jackson would hold a town hall meeting and talk about how crimes such as this one do nothing to reverse the evils of the past, only perpetuate them. Maybe he or reps from the NAACP will do that. Does anyone know if they have?

They haven't, as far as I know, and probably won't. I'd be pleasently surprised if that actually happened.

Hey guys, if you are joking, it's not being perceived that way by the rest of the 'org (or me). And since perception is reality, it's obviously in breach of the site rules. I'm warning you both... and ice, you cause enough grief for the moderators as it is, so I'd be more careful if I were you...

Besides, this thread has gone on long enough. Locked.
