Problem is, and this is one you will never fully perceive because of your inbred distorted and hypocritical colonialist mindset - no good evidence has been presented for this as a black-on-white epidemic of violence. Every story that has been presented has come from the perspective of people trying to deliberately stir racial tension. There is no journalism here, there are no facts, no understanding of the reality at all. It's just a bunch of bitter people reassuring each other that it's fine to wallow in hatred if you do it with other people who look just like you.

I and probably others would STILL see him as a target.
Why would you see him as a target? Is it because he's White, or is it because he has something you would like to steal?

Do you realize that more white people know about Al or Jesse than black people? Many white people use Al or Jesse as examples of leaders harmful to the black community because we look up or listen to them. Do you know how many years ago black people quit listening to those two? The only ones who pay them any attentio.....are white people.
Like/acknowledge or not, the system is STILL designed to trap most young black males. While white males and usually any other race than black will have a much easier time. Look at the politician here in Florida caught purchasing coc aine? Let that had been a young, black male. He would not have received the sentence this white guy received of probation.
Another instance, a white woman owns a childcare for which she doesn't have a license. A child drowned in her care. Her sentence: Jail for two days per year for ten years! Judge said he was making a special exception for her. Let that had been a black woman operating a unlicensed daycare. There would have been no exceptions made for her!
That's nothing more than a piss poor attempt to justify racism against Whites!
If it weren't for a GREAT number of Whites supporting the rights of Blacks in the US, Blacks still wouldn't have any rights in this country.

This racist country created these monsters you are now afraid of.
Yeah, and it will continue to be a "racist country" as long people like you keep making excuses for racist thugs.

But what would you consider worst: Someone sucker-punching you to sleep or someone refusing to hire you which keeps you from living a decent life?
Jack asses that get their rocks off "sucker-punching" people don't deserve a "decent life". They belong in a frigging jail!

The graphic part we are referring to,is not about black workers on farms that have been taken over-it is not a case of "Ok now the owners are dead,from tomorrow morning this is My farm"
The graphics are about the horrific way these farmers were tortured for hours and then brutally murdered,even a baby burned to death.
HOW THE EFF ARE *WE* THE RACISTS HERE????
Want me to u2u you the link so you can get a better understanding of what we were talking about? Because you are either willfully,stubbornly misunderstanding,or genuinely misunderstanding.

These cases are not 100% racially motivated.
Perhaps not, but the evidence tends to indicate that most of these cases are, indeed, racially motivated. Hell, even the apologists in this thread defend the perpetrators on the basis of racial motivation.
Most of what I've seen from you are denials based solely on your perception of the sources, and your highly prejudiced notion that those that see this as racial issue can only be racists.

Actually as someone who has both played in the game and been targeted for the game, I can tell you that it isn't 100% racially motivated.
It's an "easy target" type of thing.
Unfortunately, white people are usually viewed as the easiest target. As I said however, I have been targeted when sufficiently outnumbered and appearing to be prey. Fortunately being black, my reflexes are phenomenal or I could have been laying on the sidewalk like others.
To go deeper into why white people are so often targeted. It's a notion that white people won't and sometimes can't fight. This makes them easy targets. Though not all white people. White people who grow up around and associate with black people for some reason adapt our athleticism and aggressiveness. They basically know how to take care of themselves and aren't targets.
*On another note, perhaps studies should be done on why white people who grow up around and hang with black people can run and jump as well as us.*
Lost my focus....but my point is, anyone appearing to be an easy target can be targeted. Even other black people.
Sounds like you give a built in excuse to fight back against racism by attacking strangers. Must be a Hood thang. A lot of the Black people I know, friends, co-workers, parents at my kids schools, are escaping from the world you describe. They know it's messed up and heading nowhere. BTW, I grew up in the same kinda of neighborhood, probably far worse than most of the kids playing the knockout game. Gives some people a rationale of what they are the way they are, I guess. Myself, I think it's a cop out for their own lack of self worth and drive to be better. Always someone else's fault, isn't it?
The million dollar question is: Which came first? Black people sucker punching innocents, or innocent black people not being allowed to better themselves and their family due to racism?
Strictly speaking from the viewpoint of a thug, which I have been at some point in my life.
You see what a lot of people don't realize is having a gun doesn't make you APPEAR more formidable to a hunter...you are still food.
It irks me to see all these people yelling about "see that's why EVERYONE should carry a gun" that would have no effect except meek people being robbed/killed and their gun taken.
You can give a deer fangs and it will still be a deer and get its neck broke by a puma.
Firstly, you're absolutely right that a GREAT many whites supported Rights for blacks.

This country doesn't need a reason to continue being racist, it would be so even if black people were as meek as they were 100 years ago.

So it's not a 100% racial thing yet it yet you say things like this:Sounds like you give a built in excuse to fight back against racism by attacking strangers. Must be a Hood thang.

So attacking "prey" regardless of color is somehow acceptable behavior because of?????? What exactly? Racism?
Well, now those same actions (Knockout Game), are further stereotyping Young Blacks. Way to go there Dude, I bet all those Civil Rights leaders are Damn proud of you. You yourself, by participating in and giving a convoluted rationale for why it's understandable behavior, set back your own cause.
And you wonder why White America has such a low viewpoint of Black youths in General. You might as well put on blackface, you are creating the stereotype that you claim is "holding you down". Pretty hopeless exercise, isn't it? Just calling it as I see it.....

Peter Rosello is pleading not guilty on assault charges despite having filmed himself punching a homeless man in the crotch.
An attorney for Rosello, whose mother is "Real Housewives of Miami" season one star Alexia Echevarria, entered the plea in court Friday, CBSMiami reports. The 22-year-old aspiring model is accused of punching 62-year-old Gary Lee Brown in the groin, which carries a felony battery with prejudice charge in the state of Florida.
Florida police are investigating why cops did not arrest the son of a police lieutenant who allegedly punched a homeless man from behind and knocked him unconscious.
"After I saw the video I was shocked," Sanford Chief of Police Brian Tooley told ABC News. "I was very surprised after watching that video that we did not make an arrest that night."
Tooley said as of Wednesday night there is a warrant out for the arrest of Justin Collison, 21. He is being charged with aggravated battery, which is a felony. Tooley said he is disappointed in his department, especially because this case directly involved someone in the department.
"Since this involved the lieutenant's son, we should have made sure everything was [done] according to the books," Tooley said. "It wasn't handled well at all."

I know that I'm "absolutely right" about that. It's a real shame that so many choose to ignore that particular FACT so that they can use racism, on the part of Whites, as an excuse for the criminal behavior of young Black men. Making excuses for criminal behavior, only encourages more of the same.

Sorry, but I have to reply to this.
1. Easy Targets - yes, kids, woman, and old people. I do not see these guys showing up at KKK rallies or Skinhead concerts picking targets nor stalking gang bangers or welders leaving a jobsite. Anyone who would play this game is a wuss...straight up.
2. White people who grow up around black people are more adept to athleticism and aggressiveness? Really? That is like saying black people who grow up around white people talk better and have higher IQ's. It is quite dumb and racist to boot...You are who you are.
3. Know how to take care of themselves? Black people are not needed to teach white kids to fight. You need a peer or family member who gives you street smarts which is what I think you are getting at. A kid raised in Brooklyn and a kid raised in Dayton Ohio can have the same street smarts and sensibilities without growing up around blacks...
4. I could dunk a basketball at 14 and went to an Irish Catholic school with 2 black girls in the whole school. I think maybe this one also needs not be researched.
Problem is, as it has always been, is the peers and family preaching hate and ignorance. Anyone who would play this game is a problem to society. If you are bored go read a book..educate yourself and break the cycle.
Wow...I mean...wow...I cannot believe how someone could believe or share the statements you did as you think they are true. It is a glaring example of how screwed up the country is. I wish you luck man in the jungle out there...
If you would read a book you would know that black people have done quite a bit in this country but the race baiters do not want you to know that. The first black woman in the US to earn a college degree awas in 1862. Slavery was abolished in 1865.
