That being said, anyone who commits a hate crime, Black, White, Hispanic, whoever it is, needs to be punished and sent to prison. No exceptions. I say take the criminals in those flash mobs to prison.
White people aren't racist. They are the savior of the black race and are trying to help set them straight.

Interesting how all of these flash mobs happen in the racial utopias of the north and west and never happen in the evil racist dirty south.

It's because the South isn't smart enough to use Social Media. A Flash Mob is a different sort than these idiots.

Yeah, we also talk slow and use the proper contraction of you all, so it makes sense we are all too stupid to know how to use a computer. I'm the exception, I feel special.

Black folk in the South are too shook to confront white folks as brazenly as they do in other parts of the country. Someone may shoot them.

Really? Are you being sarcastic, or do you mean this?

Disagree. We've been there, and done that, and realize that it's not conducive to a harmonious future. Looks like maybe the rest of the country is going through our trials. For the most part, we get along around here.

Why it keeps happening, I can't answer, as I don't know those persons. I live in the suburbs in northern Cobb County, in the Atlanta area. I rarely make trips into the city, and when I do so, it's during the daytime. I have never actually witnessed any of the flash mobs, as I am rarely ever in the city.

I wondered why it didn't happen in the South. Actually, after a google search, I found out this stuff was happening. I just wasn't hearing about it. I don't watch the news, so I usually have no way of knowing. I'm not looking for this kind of news.

Maybe it's because of what I went through in high school, but sometimes I disagree.
