Yeah that would totally tick me off, I guarantee no one is that stupid to do that to me or my homeboy. We would seriously jack those teens up and I honestly don't think a person would go to jail if they defended themselves, I bet if one of those teens got knocked out, the rest would back off and run away. Call the cops for good measure to cover your butt and your in the clear. It makes me want to carry mace now that's for sure, I have honestly never heard of popping or whatever it was called.

Well then I'm screwed then! lol. I don't believe in that, I was always taught that if someone hits you that you have the right to defend yourself and hit them back.

Btw, good post on the one above that was kinda long, I read it and I feel the same way, you have a choice, either fight or get knocked out. If you get knocked out, you are at the mercy of whoever is around, and if there isn't anyone, well there is a good chance that you are dead.

I wonder why Obama, Jackson and Sharpton are not commenting on this one?

Yanno, if all 3 of those men wanted to do something productive for the black community, they would speak out openly about how when you make a decission to do something wrong, it affects not just yourself, but everyone who knows you and loves you. They would be preaching and I mean preaching education...both moral and scholastic....I mean they would be doing everything they could to re-educate poverty....
Bullies as in this video are dangerous, and this is what the President, Jackson and Sharpton should be honing in on....

The better question would be, why haven't white leaders spoken out about the white community issue.

your right, but basically, it reminded me of Philly, and how the mobs there attack others....even the girls, they act like animals....and yes, the white community should also speak out...
there were both white and black kids involved in that video, weren't there?

I don't believe this is a white or black problem, I believe this is a problem that faces all groups, as one...Bullies.
this is an issue all to often happening all over the country...

I hope, like anything they find out who all those kids were, and they get in big big trouble...
This is what you get when kids do not fear a consequence for their actions.

I don't believe this should be a black or white problem, but a problem for the entire united states as a community

They have the American Flag flying proudly in front of their homes actually a couple hispanic families that do. They have pride in the example setforth for their children, both husband and wives. College eduacted, beautiful homes, paid for, and own their own business.

This may not be rich to some, but they are pretty well off, that counts to me. And what they do buy, is paid for immediately, most people could learn that lesson.
Please re-read my post and try again since you should have written this in response to the OTHER poster that implied they couldn't be hispanics because they were from a rich kids school. I was challenging that assertion, and you just launched a rant against the wrong guy.

If you aren't going to take the time to read peoples posts, then please don't bother responding.

Because this doesn't happen disproportionately among white kids. It's a problem, but "whiteness" doesn't seem to be a substantial statistical factor.

This isn't exactly rocket science, it's just common sense.

White "leaders" (do we even have those?) should be speaking about issues that solely or disproportionately affect whites. Anything else, not much point in speaking to it from the standpoint of whiteness.

haha, look at the black infatuation with this ONE story, but refuse to acknowledge the many, many more that happen in the black community. HILARIOUS!

Over some minor house-party brawl?

What exactly is the "white community issue"?

Can we please at least use ethnicity instead of the pigmentation definitions where apparantly there are just whites and blacks in the US and that's it?

Too bad we are not allowed to teach in the schools, "Be ye kind one to another; tenderhearted loving one another." A lot of people do not like the Bible and its teaching; but it would certainly solve a lot of the problems we have in this country today.
