I fault the parents, both black and white, of all these children for raising their children to be racist. Racism is a learned trait, it is not something you are born knowing. Granted, hanging a noose was not the brightest thing to do, it has been pointed out in the media that no law was broken by doing so. One poster stated that a sawed off shotgun with a pistol grip was illegal, in some states as long as the barrel(s) are a minium of 16 inches long, then even a pistol grip is legal.

One thing I don't understand though is why did it take six black boys to whoop up on one white boy? And unless I misread the original post, the black kid chrashed the party the night he got beat up, yep that's what generally happens when you crash a party. You get invited to leave with the help of a few of the invited guest and end up being tossed out on your ass.

Everybody was wrong here, period. And everybody exacerbated the situation far beyond what ot should have been. And everybody is STILL exacerbqting the situation. THe white kid should never have said racial epitaphs to the group of black kids. First and foremost, that is just plain stupid. Second, the black kids should have never over reacting, and beating him up, that is assault, by law, regardless of age, motivation, or degree of damage inflicted. That is what the kids should have been charged with, period, and been punished for. Violence has been set as zero tolereance across the country in schools for some time, and, yes, it is still not applied equally by administrators and teachers, but legally, is supposed to be. The idiot from the city who told the group of black kids staging a protest under the now cut down oak tree, was really stupid, for threatening the group of kids. He should be fired, and brough up on threat with intent charges. The idiot kid(s) who put the nooses in the tree should be suspended without recourse for the year---in case you have forgotten, kids on school gorunds do NOT have the same rights to freedom of speech or right to privacy, or any other rights--look it up. Teenagers do NOT have the same rights and responsibilities as adults, as right or wrong as that may be. Nobody is going to come out of this a winner--everybody loses, because one kid mouthed off, and a group of kids couldn;t keep their cool. THe rest becomes ugly history.

this never even got to trial... come on... do we need to dive into every case that the "max" applies to.. and then when the rubber hits the road.. the actual sentence is country club like.. come on, you're better than that.... you bottle feeding off the media...

likewise, oh the white couple that brutally raped... by blacks a few months ago... that the left media REFUSED to touch/highlight and so and so on and so on.

The "walking on glass" on race is getting ridiculous....
Dude. One of the boys is sitting in a jail cell right now. Please do your research.

And my issue with your delivery is that you keep playing up "Black vs. White".
Everybody was wrong here, period.
Thank you. I'm glad SOMEONE can see it.

The issue here is that everyone was wrong, but for all of their wrongness, no one deserves what the DA is proposing to give these kids. Jail time? Trying one of the 16 year old boys as an adult? Surely, you're smoking something to believe this just.

So I guess that you, faceking, wish to punish these boys for the White couple that got raped, eh? "Punish one of the Blacks for the sins of them all, because they're all bad!", huh? Well while you're at it...throw a sheet over your head and burn a cross in my front lawn. I'll only look down on you even more.

This whole thing was a cock up from jump street. The kids who hung the nooses should have been made an example of and suspended with a formal apology to the whole school and this whole beatdown would have been avoided. Anyone who wants to argue the hanging of nooses is full of it. There is only one reason they hung them and it wasn't Halloween.

The white kids basically got no punishment for inciting a riot and the black kids are being treated like gang bangers for beating this kid. The question in my mind is were it 6 white kids beating up a black kid like that, would they get the same punishment?


thank you ..I couldn't have said it better

Hmm, I was thinking more along the lines of, as soon as their identities were discovered, they should have been arrested and jailed on charges of terroristic threatening.

I agree, and you should have ended your post there.

Thanks Shelby. I have been reading Jason Whitlock for years. He interned with my older brother at the Star when it was the Star/Times back in the day. I love his plain and up front take on things and love that he is getting some national exposure on some well respected shows.

Whitlock really brings forward some facts I didn't know and in some ways I have to agree, but I'd take it further and to do that, I'll bring up another debated "failure", Michael Vick. Now here was a man who had it all. NFL career making millions, influence, and was "living the dream". So why did he do such a stupid criminal thing? Because somewhere he felt his athletic stardom was a "Get Out of Jail Free Card". When these young men are in high school and college, often times the coaches and athletic programs will protect it's stars and we all have heard this (LeBron James and his Hummer "purchase" is another example).

If Bell was one of these protected cases, Whitlock is right. Where were we when this kid was in real trouble? Why weren't we there after incident one. Whitlock tells us, his career was being protected by the school because he was a star. This kid probably believed he could get away with anything due to this. So not only were pepole not there to help and protect, they in some cases said go ahead and do it, we'll squash it for you.

I still say the nooses wer handled wrong and I disagree with Whitlock, they may have contributed to the rage in these men. In the South, black folks are often taught to take it on the chin. That is the old guard way of thinking. The new guard has a loud voice and thinks they should fight and be heard. Though the way it manifested was wrong, perhaps this was a case of that loud voice gone awry from "keeping it bottled up" and not protesting from jump.

And again, we are all looking at this from our living rooms and don't have all the details or the hands on to truly judge. The whole thing is a mess of epic prooprtions.
