Hey, I like a good race thread as much as anyone, but except for posts like this one, I don't feel the desire to say anything in most of these race threads. Even I have my limits.

Here's what you clowns (and I use "clowns" with all due respect) need to do; When you start a thread having to do with race, make it relevant to something. Don't bother starting a thread with a flash mob video along with text saying something like "When will this end!?" The thread serves no purpose. True, maybe some person with insight will come along and put in a valid post, but those posts are rare and besides, those seldom-seen posts are not the motive behind the thread's inception. If you can't include some kind of reason, plausible theory, or solution for the OP's featured heinous act (and there usually is a featured heinous act), don't bother starting the thread.

No need for any of this crap, white side, black side and in between side. It is not right and here in 2011 no way this crap should be happening, guess we have learned not a thing.
I don't condone the violence at all, what the helll does it accomplish, except set us back even further to the past.

Unfortunately, the race card has been so over-used that I now question any claims of racism or hate crimes (thanks liberals). In no way do I excuse the actions of the three boys who beat this poor kid as it is inexcusable. I don't doubt that the four boys got into an argument that led to a physical altercation. However, I'm not so quick to just label it as a hate crime simply because the kid who got beat up was black and the three others were white. Who is to say that the beating was racially motivated? We've only heard his story of the events. There are always two sides to a story and the truth lies somewhere in between. Charges of hate crimes and racism are too easily and too often made for me to take it at face value.

The only black American at a party, gets singled out for talking to a white girl at a party in the early hours of the morning?

I would assume alcohol and ignorance were in ample supply.

Because that's relevant to the topic at hand, which is that whites are evilwhiteracissnazis.

Why would anyone believe the white (devils) guys? After all we all learned from Reverend Wright that all whites are liars. I frequently learn from C-D that all whites are racists, whether they know it or not.
