White kid being beaten unmercifully by black kids

Looks like the kid was just being bullied to me. Not a pleasant thing to watch. I can relate to that somewhat. I was never actually beaten up before though.

The qoute said not becaus he was white, but anyway those idiots should be expelled.

umm what? its school kids get beat up.. kids fight.. that is part of school. your view is quite childishwuziJ

Getting beat up is part of school?

Interesting.

Not racially related.funnymario

So, if they're expelled, what will they do? Oh, that's right, beat people up on the street instead of beating them up on a bus. I think there's more than one way to deal with these kids. Also, yes, I do believe that it was racially motivated, and perhaps there is some way they can learn to make peace with other races that they hate. I think it's ignoring the problem by saying the attack happened just because the white kid moved the black kid's property. The black kid didn't want, what he considered, an uppity white person touching his stuff, let alone sitting next to him.

I have only read the first two pages, but am glad to see this thread has not gotten ugly.

That's the opinion of the journalist/police. Of course they won't say it was racially motivated, just like they said it wasn't racially motivated when they beat the crap out of Rodney King (which was a 100% racist action).

His topic title isnt even a contradiction.:?

nowhere in the title does it mention anything about being racist. it just states the truth. a white kid was beaten by black kids. doesnt neccesarily mean it has to be racist.

but it seems anytime the words white kid and black kid are used in the same sentence it is automatically racist?

there is something seriously wrong with that imo

Nice post, although I don't think anyone will actually answer the questions.

Isn't it funny how many say something like "if that was a black kid getting beaten by two white kids it would automatically be called racist" while the same people automatically call this situation racist just because a white kid got beaten.

I think you need to start thinking for yourself instead of blindly trusting what journalists write.

And I think you need to educate yourself more on what goes on in schools--especially among african-american students when it comes to bullying before feeding into race baiting assumptions.

[QUOTE="streloksbolt"][QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"] I can pull up a number of articles where the writer can say it as plain as day that X was racially motivated. The writer didnt say so because pretty much its confirmed not to be so. That being said, TC created a misleading thread to pull people in. TecmoGirl

I still do not see why people are assuming this was automatically racist. Also just because you think if the roles were reversed people would label this racist(which some of you already are), does not automtically make this a race issue.

If a bus full of white kids attacked and beat the crap out of a black kid while everyone cheered them on EVERY SINGLE PERSON would be saying, "OH MAN, That was so racist, terrible children." and Jesse Jackson, Al sharpton, Etc. would be all over T.v. asking for apologies from everyone whoever looked at the bus, but since it was black kids beating on a white kid we're supposed to assume that its not racially related at all. At my school SOME of the black kids will beat up a white kid if he even looks at them the wrong way, but if a black kid walked up and yelled the N word at him he would just laugh and let him go.

That you shouldn't feed into a racially motivated factor if you aren't aware of the common behavior when it comes to how blacks bully people. The attack most likely wasn't racially motivated at all. This happens all the time at schools(on the way home walking and riding the bus) to people who don't stand up for themselves--I've seen other blacks get bullied by blacks more then anyone else. Most likely, the kid is considered a loser. He didn't fight back or anything--and that made it much more difficult to watch for us. He should've grew a pair and started throwing some punches back himself. Instead, he curled up and just took the blows thrown at him.

While he came across as weak and defenseless white boy against two black lame ass bullies, some people aren't realizing this is nothing new when it comes to black kids. They tend to be more aggressive in their bullying approach then whites are when it comes down to it--much more attitude and aggression.

Most likely, he simply didn't want to sit next to a loser and he just wanted to keep his cool factor up among his friends--it had nothing to do with his race. Justifying anything otherwise blindly without knowing that is usually just trying to prove a point from the other side of the fence and nothing more(ex: if it was two whites, and one black it would be considered a hate crime.)

Yes, we know that already. That doesn't mean anyone should blindly consider this one a hate crime in that regard just to gain fairness in the matter. Everyone knows it's totally unfair.

GGAH! Some people here are so ridiculously naive it makes my blood boil. I know in a better world, race would not have played a part in this altercation but it did, that is reality. Black people (particularly in the deep south and in poorer areas like here) view white people differently from themselves, this is a legacy of a long period of discrimination against blacks and the whole rotten history behind the reason behind why there are so many black people in America. You simply can't be so naive to think that that black kid was colorblind, this is not how America works for the most part and DEFINITELY not how small town Missouri works,Memberino

Wow very gross generalisations.

You underestimate how easily a fight can start, if you think touching someones property can't start one. It was very stupid, but that is what some poeople are.

Yes also there were a good handful of white kids on the bus who did nothing but smile and cheer.
