[QUOTE=-primetime-]I am not going to click that video and give them the fame that they were seeking
also, if YouTube was decent they would remove that video themselves...[/QUOTE]
They did remove it. The recently posted one is 2 dudes getting jumped by 30
[QUOTE=SonOHammerwafer]The girl did something too, she provoked the little psychos by calling them sluts on myspace or something. 30 v 2 vs 6 on 1 is alot different.[/QUOTE]
This isn't a race issue!
Get off whatever it is you're standing on, and look at the motive of these teens.
To bash someones face so it looks like it did on page 2, for what?
Youtube fame do you know how sick that is.
No comparison to a little skuffle for 2 guys prob. caught cheating in a game...
The dudes were fine absolutely fine.
Then I wonder why they didn't report that one case a couple years back where a bunch of black kids almost killed two white girls in Long Beach. The neighbours were too afraid to even help because they thought they would get killed too. The only time CNN reported on it is when the KKK had a rally demanding some major station to say something about it. lol

Not countering your point, but it's not like the media is looking out for white people as a rule. They have reasons for what they do and it doesn't always coincide with being on the white person's side. A lot of the time it does however.

You could really go on and on forever with cases where somebody got off far too easy, or got excessively punished and question how much the motive had to do with race or social status or sex or religion or some mitigating factor.
It's kind of pointless and doesn't get anything accomplished though. What's more important than what if, coulda shoulda woulda happened is what did, and how will they handle it.
I just hope they don't get some slap on the wrist punishment. And I hope nobody gets on tv to pull the whole, "what if they were black" nonsense, except Jane Velez Mitchell. I'm sure she will do it if she gets the chance, and she's hilarious when she race baits her cohosts. Everyone else just pontificates in a rather annoyingly predictable manner.

[QUOTE=SonOHammerwafer]The only reason this is such a big deal is because it's suburban white kids. Stuff like this happens in cities all the time all over the country and no one cares and it gets no publicity because the victims are hispanic or black.
Just like Kosovo got 10x more attention and military aid that Rwanda and right now Darfur are getting[/QUOTE]
Kosova got so much attention because of Monica Lewinsky. Think a little d[FONT="Arial Narrow"]i[/FONT]ck lips.
[QUOTE=SonOHammerwafer]It is racist durr....that's kinda the point. How do you explain all of Europe+America sending in military aid to Kosovo?
And none of those same nations responding to Darfur or Rwanda while the same thing is happening there?
Did you know in Rwanda when the genocide started, there was a compliment of UN troops from Belgium occupying the International school? The tutsis (the Rwandan ethnic group on the wrong side of the genocide incase you didn't know flocked to the school for protection. The school was surrounded by Hutu shouting chants of how they were going to butcher the Tutsi. It was three days before the UN troop and all Europeans were evacuated. The UN left the tutsis to be slaughtered, because it was their job to observe and they didn't get any orders to put down the genocide. Explain that.[/QUOTE]
Bosnia lost over 200k people and it took the US and Europe a while to step in. The main reason why the Europeans and Americans don't go into Africa is because they have nothing to gain. Why is America in Iraq? Why hasn't America/Europe stepped into chechnya? Why won't America liberate Taiwan with bomb strikes?

:applause:
So much for that idiot and his idiot professor's "white damsel in distress". Despite what you said about not countering his point, it was still a "point....followed by a fierce counterpoint". :oldlol:

This case
Ana Nicole Smith
The Peterson Women
The OJ case
Natalie Hollaway
The Berreta Case
The Specter Case
Damn near every lynching(they were sometimes advertised in newspapers days in advance)
Nancy Grace and Greta Van Susteren pretty much make their living out of the white damsel and distress case especially if that woman is pregnant. The media is a business and some stories sell more than others. The white missing woman is tried and true goldmine and we will have another one this summer.

what exactly did America have to gain in Bosnia?? we went in APPARENTLY to "end the genocide". What aren't we doing it in Africa? Look at race. And are you crazy? Liberate Taiwan with bombstrikes? And piss off valuable tradepartner and future super power China, who's ass if anything we need to kiss? Do you know anything?
