I guess the "silly speech" could go hand in hand with your silly responses

No double standard from the liberals, right?
You'll be happy to learn that you and Al Sharpton are on the same side with this one! And it came from a site that you would probably trust.

Marshall said this week he believed the attack was racially motivated.

Support for the Marshalls arrived this week from the Rev. Sharpton, a national activist for the black community. A spokesman said Sharpton is aware of the attack and does not condone the behavior of the teens.

Sharpton’s National Action Network supports the FBI investigation, the spokesman said.

“These teens need to be punished as much as any dumb redneck in white sheets,” said Richard Jones, a Sharpton spokesman based in Cleveland. “Nobody should be attacked like this, whether they are black or white. These young men who are responsible need to be brought to justice.”



This might pose a problem:

Marshall, in an interview today, said police questioned him late Wednesday night about the attack and the chants he heard. His wife, Yvonne Marshall, said she recalls telling officers and a detective about the chants the night of the attack.

The remarks are not noted in a police report released by the department. A box to denote whether the attack was a hate crime is marked “no bias/not applicable.”

I read the news from all over the nation. Black on white crime is out of control. The statistics speak for themselves. Whites let the "politically correct white guilt thought police" get the upper hand in this nation, and whites will never get it back. This situation is not improving, folks. And as a result look at all the dangerous ghettos in Ohio: Akron, Cleveland, Youngstown, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toldeo, Lorain, Steubenville, Canton! No wonder the Buckeye State has become the Ghetto State. And I have been to all of those cities and I wouldn't go out at night without 10 bodyguards.

Maybe it is but we'll see..Really stupid either way. This statement is very interesting though.

"The construction worker said he now fears for his family's safety, and the thousands of dollars in medical bills he faces without insurance."
He shouldn't fear losing thousands in medical bills he faces without insurance. Crime Victim's Compensation should cover it. I'm not sure that there are any states that don't have this. Ohio does.

Any black person that shouts racism today is just doing it so they can take advantage of others.

The reason the rest don't absolutely puzzles me.

A lot of black people are suffering from an unforgiving spirit. You can't move forward until you let go of the past. I hope they will soon be able to do this before they destroy our nation.
Oh, man... this made laugh! Reminds me of the spectacle that is the Sotamayor confirmation hearings... all these old, rich, privileged white men bemoaning how this Puerto Rican might have a perspective different from that of the privileged class... it's just too fun to watch.
