[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a bunch of suburban white kids started attacking a stranger in front of a Hilton in DC, and a white teenage girl went so far as to spit a victim who was knocked out, the first thing everyone would do was ask why these kids did what they did and assume the victim did something to provoke an attack by kids, especially young women.

But I guess because they're young black kids, no one cares to explore their motives, what provoked them to do what they did, etc.

Oh come on. If a group of white kids attacked a black man and kicked him in the head and spit on him, you KNOW what the narrative would be.  [/quote]

The victim from what I read was black, so your analogy doesn't apply.

If a bunch of a 13-14 year old white kids yelled "that's him" and beat up a white man as he was walking into a hotel, and girls in the group spit on the victim as he was lying unconscious after almost getting killed, A LOT of people on this forum would assume the victim did some very heinous stuff do warrant such a savage attack. I think everyone knows what kinds of theoretical violations by the victim would be floated around by posters on here because they would [b]at least give the children the benefit of the doubt[/b] and be puzzled by what would lead them to commit such a brutal attack on a man they identified by saying "that's him!"

For some reason this same benefit of the doubt and curiosity as to motives is not being extended to these very young black children. It's odd when you think of it, especially when it's not being extended by supposed "enlightened" and "liberal" white people on here. [/quote]

These are not very young, black children. These are children old enough to know better and of course, they do know better. If white kids did something like this, I would say the same thing. I would not care why. What could possibly be a good enough “reason” for this? Can you think of one?[/quote]
