They always refer to them as "Urban Youth" (which everyone already knows by now is code word for black kids.)
I live about 40 miles from Gulf Shores alabama, Every year during spring break there is a huge fight on the main beach involving nothing but white kids and i have never seen that make the local news.

maybe the media isnt reporting it simply because it is so common, not because of the race of the participants . notice how every gun death isnt reported(even with Newtown in the back of people's minds).

And even so, why would their race matter ?

Local news media is not mainstream media.

Mainstream media is MSNBC, Fox News, CNN and ABC. Local affiliates are not main stream. They're local affiliates.

Race matters because it is a repeating event with black youths the last few years.

Ok, but what truth are the other media sites missing? I mean by specifically calling the mobs black, how is that more helpful or beneficial to the public? Just curious.

That's because right wing news isn't politically correct. Isn't honesty and truth such an awesome thing? Too bad the left wing media is so overtly PC and dishonest in their news reporting. But then again, most left wing media is 90% opinion based anyway.
Its just seems focused on race. One outlet to call out race, the other doesn't. But the main content is the same.

If it were an all-white (or Asian or middle-eastern) mob, would the public also need to know that? What if it were 50% black, 25% white and 25% Hispanic. Would it be necessary to call out the demographics then too?

The Washington post has the 6th largest readership of any paper in the nation and is the 88th most viewed website in the country. 9th most viewed news site(i am including yahoo and MSN as newssites).

As i said the same thing happens just down the road from me with white kids, and it seems to be for the same reasons, young people disagreeing and not knowing how to handle their tension.

It has nothing to do with race.

Is the OP's implication that these people are rioting because they are black, and that white people on Spring Break in Daytona never fight or get arrested? Huh.

I suppose you could also put it down to them being drunk and male, but that's not as titillating.

So the conservatives can screech "See!!! See!!! It's always the blacks! It is ALWAYS the blacks!!!", thus justifying rounding them up & tossing them in internment camps, preferably on a deserted island far far away.

This is getting out of hand and someone needs to step up to the plate and start reporting on this degeneracy. Black mob violence is a major issue that's gone entirely unresolved and appears to be getting progressively worse as years go by. We're due for some pretty horrific black mob violence this summer when it warms up in places like Philidelphia and Chicago and only a handful of local media outlets will report on these events of mass violence.

Disgusting.
The continued need to interpret and understand human behavior based on skin color and the idea that this isn't a racist position is very confusing.

What do you want from this identification that black college students are misbehaving and some maybe behaving criminally?

What importance does their skin color have to do with anything?

This is why I say that the whole idea of race is a perversion. This idea of race distorts how we see things. More importantly, it hurts black Americans who constantly have to deal with racial prejudice and sometimes racism.
