A few comments:

1. So where are all the black people condemning this? Again it needs to be said that everyone damn well knows if the person being attacked was black and the perpetrators were white that the outrage among blacks would boil over and they would be out on the streets yet again protesting and yelling for justice and harsh punishment for the attackers over this racial attack.

But because its blacks who YET AGAIN are attacking non-black people like they so often do on a daily basis, we won't hear ONE DAMN WORD from any black person on this unprovoked and vicious attack because you know 'this is just a minority' of blacks behaving this way.

2. Blacks keep crying about being negatively profiled and being stereotyped as a violent people. Well when crap like in this video keeps happening again and again without any end in sight, blacks have no one to blame BUT THEMSELVES for how others perceive them.

People continue to time and again give blacks the benefit of the doubt, but instead of actively working hard at changing how people perceive them, they instead go full speed ahead in the opposite direction and do NOTHING BUT REINFORCE perceptions of them by continually committing acts of violence like in the video again and again with little remorse or care as to how it affects their image.


Seriously I'm so tired of the double standards that we have in our society today where one group of people can get away with so much racial violence and yet STILL have the gall to call themselves victims, while the people who are actually the victims most of the time can't call out the perpetrators and demand a stop to this violence for fear of being called racists. What kind of messed up and sad world do we live in that the perpetrators of the majority of racial violence are protected so much more than the victims are?? >_>
This, and many similar acts, is why blacks are profiled.

Perhaps cutting down on violence, crimes, and supporting education would help.

Default "Question about Michael Brown leads to beating on St. Louis light rail train"

3 black Men on a light rail train asked a white man who his phone, when he said no, they asked him what he thought about Mike Brown. He responded that he hadn't thought much about the case, which led to him getting repeatedly punched in the face.

Question about Mike Brown leads to beating in St. Louis - CNN.com

When these incidents happen, like Michael Brown, we need to try and NOT fan the flames of hatred - especially before all of the facts were in. As evidenced by this recent deliberate attack on an innocent man, it can build resentment, racism, and more violence.

How is the OP generalizing that "there isn't white on black crime"?


Crime is crime, and any crime against a person because of the color of their skin is racially motivated and should carry additional punishment.

However, the Obama loving liberals don't seem to understand it or just choose to ignore it!
The O administration shouldn't be getting involved in any of these or previous similar incidents.

This crime is sick.

The most disturbing thing is no one tried to help the man after the idiots left the train. He had to get off at the next stop, walk up the steps to get the attention of a bus driver to get help. Too much! The Black man will face charges because of the assault. It happened on public transportation. Possibility of a hate crime.

The first racial incident in our region happened earlier in the week in suburban Fenton. A Black man was attacked by a White man at a gas station after using racial slurs. He will be charged for a hate crime. Did anyone help the Black man?

I don't look for any further explanation of either one of the incidents other than they will be charged according. No one needs to speak on behalf of anyone particular race just because. I don't blame anyone other than the person responsible. If you are a racist before Ferguson you're a racist after.

If the guy had shot his assailant in the process of being beaten.....we'd have a thread here, riots, marches etc. about how a white man shot another unarmed black child.

Supposedly he was asked what he thought about the Michael Brown case, but answered wrong.
