Something smells really bad and I think this is another big fat racist white man lying to create their long sought after race war. Did they count these black youths? Were there 50 or maybe just 43 or perhaps there were 54 of them. How can they be sure there were 50 black youths? Were they all black or were some of them light brown? Maybe a couple of them e Asian or native. How can they be sure they were all black?

I see now, big fat racist white men never lie when it comes to a mob of 50 black youths attacking them. So much for this bull shit.

Why can't you liberals give this family the same consideration. And to the poster who indicated that the family is a good example of inbreeding...how ignorant. Where's your evidence of inbreeding?

A liberal sees things as s/he wants, everyone else sees the reality.

It's alright in the black community to hate white people.

It's a fact.

And until black people police their own on bigotry, like white people have done for a generation, there will still be stupid acts like this one.

The real white racism in this country is fuelled by incidents like this.

Kwame Kilpatrick broke a white police officer's ribs while making racial comments, and it was spoken of only in the newspaper, never on TV.

This appears to be a hate crime, yes virginia its not just white people beating black folks, and the perpetrators should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, for the sake of black people.

I am liberal, and actively pro equality,

BUT if a black person goes into the wrong neighborhood he will possibly get harrassed by the police, if a white person goes into the wrong neighborhood they will be killed. That kind of in balance is identical to what happens in Israel, the stupid racism engendered by systemic oppression feeds dumb violence that justifies horrific reprisals.

The wingnuts are right about something, its time for Obama to speak about race again.
