Some people are confusing this fight with an older one where a child was injured. In this case, we don't know where the people are and there are only a few leads. The one screenshot I posted is one lead.
Reading the comments at that link just confirm my belief that there are more good people that care than ones like that female bully. Most people are disgusted by her behavior.

sad but true.
heck, on this forum, even daring to notice that this event happened evokes non-stop shrieks of 'racism!!' and 'stormfront!!' from the usual suspects.


it is quite odd.

I think that it's ludicrous to question the actions of the victim instead of the actions of the savage who attacked her.

For what it's worth, I'm a Black male, late 20s. When I was in the 6th grade, I moved from an area, where both Blacks and Whites got along well, to a place that was like a throwback to the old days. Confederate flags flying in some places. My parents didn't know the area was like that.

I got bullied alot, mainly by White boys. It was either the skateboarder types or redneck types doing this. I also got subjected to some racial intimidation. Interestingly, as I got older, the Black population got larger in that area.

My little sister(we're 4 3/4 years apart), however, got alot of flak from Black girls. She got teased and berated for "acting White".

I wasn't "shy" so much as I was a nerdy kid. I read books. I was shorter and skinnier than the other kids. Alot of those kids were cowards when I look back on it. They went after kids who they perceived were targets. Were there racial tensions? Most likely. However, I noticed that many of those kids would not try anything with the Blacks who appeared "rough" or "aggresive" or who had some size on them. I was slight-statured and bookish, not to mention, I was socially awkward. I was considered an easier target.

It is similar to what happened to my sister. She was the meek kid. She wasn't loud or aggressive. She, a Black girl, caught far more flak from other Black girls than anyone else. I caught alot of flak from the "redneck" types and Whites where were of the "trashy" type. Later on I started getting problems from Black kids for not being "Black enough".
Sorry that happened to you guys!

I grew up in Clifton NJ which had a nickname of lily-white Clifton even though it wasn't. There were many black families who had lived there for generations. Of course they were still the minority.Many nationalities there. Lots of Dutch and Central European, then people from Ukraine and those areas came in and also Italians.Apparently a lot of folks from India , Bangladesh and those areas have settled there now.

My black friends from up there had parents who were teachers, doctors what have you. There were a couple of shoddy areas but those places had whites and blacks (I'm not talking about Passaic and Paterson-do you know the Hurricane Carter story?) Clifton was different. Kinda sheltered.
We moved to Deerfield Beach Floida in 74. When you think about it that's not so long after desegregation.I don't know how it is there now but there were lots of trashy white and black folks there then.
I wasn't used to seeing entire sections of town with just black people, and they were either poor or unable/unwilling to go into better neighborhoods. Many blacks wouldn't move out even if they could afford to.

I understood why they might get angry at a white person from NJ so . Aside from being shy, I was perhaps too understanding.We moved to Delray in 77. There was still racism from both sides but nothing like Deerfield. Delray was still agricultural and a real ghost town then.Deerfield was much more of a city. Anyway, it was a pretty corrupt place. But the black people there were so proud of their history in the town and most were very interesting charming people. It was odd because in many ways Delray was like a time warp back to the 50s. The "black" high school had its last graduating class a few years before. I don't remember the whole history but coming from NJ it was a shock.
The mobs of people with kids from the northeast hadn't really started invading Florida yet so I guess there was still that good ole boy old South mentality.

It is quite sad to think in such a way. So some Blacks act unruly, the whole race is like that?

There are 40 million Blacks in the USA. Are you sure that at least 20 million behave like that?
FWIW, I treat people as individuals. I simply avoid places that draw large numbers of blacks. It's about freedom of choice - my own personal comfort level and self-preservation.

The thing is...what happens if she tries to walk away? Does one of the black girls try to grab her baby while the other unleashes a beating? How do we know she wasn't too scared to try walking away? The black girl could take walking away as an insult and give her an even more severe beating. There was really no way for her to win. Her best option was to sit there and hope they calmed down or someone stepped in to help her.

Thank you for being honest. I owe you a sandwich.
