Most people are not racist even though they would rather prefer to congregate with their own kind, be it blacks, whites, Japanese or Jewish. The issue people have, and rightfully so, is that crime committed by blacks is unproportionally high compared to their population numbers. Latinos have the same economic inequalities as blacks, but the number of violent crimes committed by them in this country is half of what occurs in black communities.
And with the advent of the internet, where news spreads fast, we see more and more that the individuals doing these kinds of outrages are people of black heritage. For every video of a white beating someone there are four videos of blacks doing it. For every incident of a Latino assaulting others there are three where blacks are the aggressors. This unproportionality is what causes people to feel angry at the thug sub-culture that exists within the black community. They are wondering, what is causing them to be like this?
I thought this thread had been closed. Maybe they were waiting for my opinion. After all, I really do know everything.
Anyway, I call these kind of threads "incident threads" because they are about isolated incidents and not something like government policy or debates about war. This is not to say that "incident threads" aren't ever worthy of discussion. But they are about one, single incident, and nothing more. Another words, we are not talking about cross-racial restaurant beatings becoming a fashion trend. As bad as the incident is, it doesn't beckon any reason for a society-wide concern. It might just as well be a thread containing a video of a cow being struck by lightning.
Okay, having gone through that, is there any real evidence that the incident has any real racial components, or do we just project a racial component on the incident? I don't know. I'm asking as kind of a devil's advocate sort of thing.
As for Sharpton and Jackson, their jobs generally are not to defend white folks. That should be understood. See, if a union truck driver is in an accident involving an ordinary motorist, the truck driver's union will not come to the aid of the motorist in an effort find the union truck driver at fault. It doesn't work that way.
So now the problem is public housing and government assistance?
Um... NO.
It's called No Cohesive Familial Structure.
Children have been raising children for a long time, and this is the result.
This thread is not about what "black people need to have done to them so they get their act together".
This thread is about two teen girls (14 and 18) who beat the hell out of a 22 year old transsexual at Mc Donalds.
Nothing more or less.
And because he was using the women's bathroom.
Probably the beating didn't have to do with race at all. We don't really know, and probably there was some pack-mentality going on that encouraged the young girls to keep it up, plus the fact that the victim never put up any resistance.
You'd have to see what all transpired -- it seems that it was the use of the bathroom that triggered the event. Probably not just that guy's presence in the restaurant. It had something to do with him being in the women's room.
But - he could have been beat up for using the men's room dressed like that.

I agree with you that it's important not to give too much weight to any single one incident, but in my experience as someone who is non-gender conforming and who has been in a long-term relationship with someone who is non-gender conforming and black, transgender people are even lower on the totem pole discrimination-wise than black people. This incident confirms what I've already experienced having been part of the LGBTQ community and the Black community through my ex.
I was talking about murder specifically. I think murder specifically tends to be more black on black.
I am talking about interracial murder. Blacks kill more whites, Asians, and Latinos than vice versa.
But of course blacks are going to kill blacks more, since they live next to each other.

Sounds like a guy. 
Was he in the 'ladies' room, or should I say 'genetic born female' room?
