consider this my friend, say a mob of whites attacked a black couple, and those whites had been conversing on a whites only website- do you think the media would have been indulging in a racist frenzy (which they are not doing here)?

so, your argument here is not that the media are bad because they have misrepresented this story, it is that they are bad because they might misrepresent another similar, hypothetical story?
are you for real? let me just get this straight, the fact that this incident isn't presented as racially motivated in the media, a motivation for which there is no evidence that can be found, means that the media is racist, in your eyes.
you think that the media, in order to be truthful, should present facts that there is no evidence for? and you're making this claim on ATS? are you high?
EDIT: i felt a need to add the quote.

Secondly, I smell a personal agenda, because the "leading African American" social network site is Black Planet.
Or has the OP along with many of the other band wagoners proved themselves gullible yet once again to distraction and misinfo ?

Dead right man, too many pussies.
Getting out of your car to talk to them, what an idiot.
I definately would've hit them with my car, no problems with that whatsoever. And it's self defence anyway.
If I was out 'lookin for trouble', like these teens were, and I was gonna bash the hell out of some couple in their car, and they ran me over, I would 'suck it up', I'd understand that I derserved it. I'd have paid the price for my actions and I probably wouldn't do it again.
That's why I'd hit teens with my car. To teach them a lesson, don't gather in crowds and get violent.

As for the racist aspect of this? I'm just curious what you guys and gals think would have happened if, instead of a white couple in a jeep, it was a car filled with other African Americans?? Do you think they would have attacked them or would they have thought otherwise??

so, yeah, if a black person got out of the car to confront them, i think the youths would have attacked.

Very interesting. The original article has now been edited to remove the "ourspace" reference. In addition the very very few other news stories on this are now saying it was organized "on sites like myspace and twitter".
The only reference to ourspace is now a couple of other forums and blogs that commented on the article.
If they got conflicting info that stated it was organized on other sites why not mention that in the article? Instead of just removing the reference to ourspace? Hmmm....tis a mystery.
