BTW, you ignored the rest of my post. Why pick only that part out?
a one-sided attack is not a fight.

I ignored the parts you've repeated hundreds of times.

What are you going on about? I wasn't defending the violent people that you mention above. My comment on generalizations refers to some posters lumping all black people together the good ones along with the bad ones that's what I'm referring to.

Fortunately, the law, and imo the common sense of most people disagree with you.

Well, I repeat those parts because it seems to be things people are stubbornly intent on ignoring as a way to further one's own agenda. Kind of like said persons who constantly complain about Black people.

Kid gloves? Are you kidding me? Until 1988, it was legal to sentence an infant to death in America. Our country's insistence on punishing children and teenagers as if they are rational adults is bizarre.

This girl needs mental help and counseling. I'd say the same of other violent bullies who are minors. Criminal punishment should only be for adults.

An attack is a one-sided fight. One person is fighting, but the other person did not join. The victim was the one not fighting, but getting jumped by another person. I've used the term fight and attack interchangeably before, no one ever spoke to me about it until now, so this is news to me.

Failing to comprehend the English language, and not caring to, just shows ignorance. It may be interchangeable to you, but they are not the same.

And I highly doubt that given the same scenario you would tell the police you were in a fight. "911? can you send someone out right away? I'm in the middle of a fight with someone!"

I don't see it as an indictment of the 'entire black population' as you constantly insist.

Show me where the OP claimed that.

Well, I'm not you. If I'm around a large group of hood rat types, no I won't like it. And I make that distinction. Hood rats are the low lifes of the Black population. If I'm around Black people who conduct themselves like decent human beings(such as the people who work at my place of work), people I had college classes with, not a problem.
