http://www.topix.net/city/miami-fl/2007/09/four-teens-charged-in-hate-crime-attack
So let me get this straight. If one or more white kid(s) attacks a black kid, it's a hate crime. On the other hand if 6 black kids attack 1 white kid, it's not a hate crime. If anyone believes this statement they are racist idiots!I honestly feel for the black kid here, but since they are always screaming for equality, where is ours? OF course these kids should pay for the crime, I hope they do, but the Jena 6 should too! Oh, and have M. Bell's Mom give her new Jaguar to the victim's family! Criminals and their families should be PUNISHED, not REWARDED!There probably WON'T be a white march to override the law here, Americans are more civilized, and worse, we have jobs...I don't know how the Jena 6 marchers support their families, except the old stereotype of minorities on welfare...Otherwise, why would they support criminals of ANY race, even "one of their own"?That, and whites don't have a demagogue whiner-with-power of the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton model...
Oddly, though, did anyone bother to check the names of the 5 accused? Miguel Aranda, Gilberto Maakaroun, Nicholas Checa, Marino Biondini and Jose Osorio. It doesn't appear this is a traditional white and black issue as some might want to make it, but an issue of a group of dirt bags that were looking to beat up the next guy coming off the boat regardless of his color. To suggest we should let these dogs go free is irresponsible as you or I could be their next victims if we're in the wrong place while visiting Miami. We're just lucky that the victim in this case survived the ordeal.
Why are Hispanics being called "white"?

Ummm, Ep, did you bother to read the whole article before deciding to call this reverse racism against white people?

18-year old Miguel Aranda and 17-year old Gilberto Maakaroun were charged with battery, attempted felony murder, and a hate crime. 15-year old Nicholas Checa and 17-year old Marino Biondini were both charged with battery and a hate crime. And 21-year old Jose Osorio was charged with aggravated battery and attempted felony murder, but not a hate crime.

They don't sound like the Aryan Nation to me....

I didn't, I just pointed out that in my own article...read it all...Oddly, the Hispanics are being called "white"...It just further entangles race-relations...
Or should we dismiss this as "just kids playing in the pool", the same way the Jena crap is supposed to be dismissed as "just a schoolyard fight"?
I believe there WILL be a Hispanic march of solidarity...Paid for by the taxpayers!

im not taking any sides as i did not read article. we have had 4 melees intown and a bunch of fights- ironically it is hispanics against the blacks.

try not to misunderstand this- but when one moves from a metro to a small town- the locals will shoe you away if the city boldness is displayed. take that as advice as i had to learn this for myself if i wanted to stay here.

Ditto with The Heretic--the language is nonspecific enough to not merit a white vs. black rant. I see your point, but there are better hills to die on.
