In reply to the discussion: (White) Man Beaten By Mob, In Critical Condition "Justice for Trayvon" [View all]Beacool
(30,249 posts)A white guy gets the crap beaten out of him by a group of AA, but the story is somehow "fishy". Nope, it couldn't have happened. Although the guy is in critical condition in the hospital and there were witnesses who saw the attack.
When are people going to view others beyond the color of their epidermis? There are good and bad people in all races. I don't get this attitude that white people are somehow inherently evil and other races are just too good to do something heinous.
Trayvon Martin was shot by a cop wannabe who should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But how about facing the reality that most AA youths are being killed by other AA youths. That's the real tragedy, a whole generation of young people (mostly young men) are being killed in their teens and 20s.
Where is Obama, Sharpton, Congress, etc. on this issue? Forty young people were shot in Chicago during the course of one weekend in March. Ten of them died, including a 6 year old child. Couldn't they have been Obama's children too? I didn't hear one of them mention the wave of violence that is killing so many young people, particularly in Chicago.
Politicians pander, but where are the real solutions?
