Re: I was beaten, taunted for being white, Bronx man says after subway attack Read m
Addressed to Tettsuo, and Sangha,
I look to see if I can find the story, but I recall hearing last week on the news a prime example. It involved a 20 year old young white man heading home to meet his parents curfew of midnight. The young man was only blocks from his home in a solidly middle class neighborhood, when he was jumped by a group of five black teens and one black adult male. The white male was beaten so badly that not only did he almost die, but will have to now undergo plastic surgery on his face and jaw.
As the attack was happening the victim recalls hearing the assailants saying things like 'beat this cracker good', and 'you in the wrong place white boy..' etc. That was backed up by a prosecution witness.
The hate crimes division refused to pick up the case. Why? If this were a young black man with his future ahead of him and white assailants, the statements made during the beating would have been enough to level hate crime charges. Yet none are charged in this case.
That is wrong IMHO.
