What about the fact that Black Folk have to eat shit all their lives and White folk are never exposed day after day to racial stereotyping. Don't you think Black Folk should be allowed to go crazy at least once a year or so and maybe punch a lot of people?

How fair are you to ask what you yourself have never had to deliver? Let's have the world follow you around for half a lifetime insulting you and see how you do controlling your rage. You may be able to give better instructions on how to manage yourself constructively as advise to others.

So you think some people should be above the Law? Maybe you can get a law passed "Day or Week or Month of Rage Law" that will permit some people to act out violently against specified targets with no legal repercussions. Sounds like a great plan Moonie.

Yeah, I think this sounds fantastic.

I'm sure every single one of us fits into some sort of protected class - race, religion, sexuality, etc. - and at one point have been the subject to cruelty by others. Atheists should get to punch theists, gays should get to punch straights, and tranvestites should get to kill anyone they want.

I'm sorry but blacks are not the only ones who have been repressed and there is no excuse for this racism.

Maybe it can be a sliding scale. We can go back to the Native Americans who can do ANYTHING they want...

It isn't fair and *I* shouldn't have to pay for something that my great-great-great Grandfather did. I don't know him...don't even know his name.

Quit fighting racism with racism. Quit justifying racism for past transgressions.

White people are never exposed to racial stereotyping? People assume because I'm white that my ancestors had something to do with slavery and I some how owe black people because of it, yet my ancestors were from Eastern Europe and Russia. They were poor and didn't come here until the early 1900s. But I have white skin so I must have had something to do with oppressing other races.

The apologists, like we see in this thread, will soon be a dying breed, much like the racists of the 20th century.

The "white guilt" crowd will die off and all that will be left are people who want to get along, and not treat anyone differently based on race.

wtf are you talking about? A black man punched a white women. So what? How does that mean you have to pay for anything? You just want to use this one moment among 330 million people to cry about how life isn't fair. Get over it.

how about we all just get over ourselves and learn to use our words before our fists?

1) everybody seems to forget that he punched a woman, and they, arguably, are only a little in front of blacks on the historically downtrodden list...

2) that's what the laws are for... you use your fists and you get jail time to learn to get over yourself...

LOL - My great grand parents weren't even in this country during slavery and then came over here to build a rail road. Where is my restitution.

Hell, my people were enslaved by the Roman empire. I demand respiration for how the Roman empire set back my people.

Black dude and white woman get into a race argument. White girl pushes black dude and he pops her. Keep your hands to yourself. At least thats what my parents taught me.

My fault he pushed her, then he popped her. Thats not good. You can't go around punching women in the face for no reason. But there is some stuff missing in that article though. Because the police didn't file charges against him, she did. Usually you assault someone the police files charges.

You have it wrong, he pushed her and then he popped her in the face. She never touched him.

White folk are never exposed day after day to racial sterotyping?

Really?

Looks like you just engaged in racial sterotyping of white folk yourself.

(And I see white folk living in the South subjected to racial sterotyping here on a daily basis.)

Nothing is missing from the article. You just have a racial bias that makes you want to side with him. This is demonstrated by the fact that you think there is some media conspiracy to hide the truth. Let me tell you something; there is no conspiracy. Get over it. Everyone knows this.

Look, it looks like there is a lot more to this story. But clearly he shouldn't have punched her. But please spare me the bullsh!t that whites got it tough with stereotyping. Especially in the south. They do hump their cousins down there, so that is not a stereotype :p

What? This is usually the case with domestic violence (to protect women who refuse to press charges on the husband), but not regular assault. They need you to press the charges to know you will testify.

Otherwise it is mutual combat.

Sometimes in bar fights they will come in and arrest those who fought for something else, like drunk in public, disorderly conduct, etc...because they cant get you for A&B when noone will press charges.

Are you sure about that?

I think the 'victim' needs to file charges, unless it's a domestic abuse case or the police actually see the fight.

Anyway, that's a matter of state law and will vary. I.e., what hapens in my state (NC) won't necessarily be the same way it happens in NY.

Nothing missing huh? Really? How many men can punch a woman in the face and be released without bail? A black dude punching a white woman at that. The article states they had been going at weeks prior. So who was talking trash on who? And what did she say to make him push her in the first place? He should have kept his hands to himself and walked away. Another thing, the guy is nicknamed Mac at the bar, so obviously he goes there a lot. But yet the woman is only nice person is this clash, despite the fact this had been an ongoing saga.
Fact 1, he should have kept his damn hands to himself
Fact 2, clearly there is some stuff missing in this story

No they don't. If I hit someone and the cops are called, if anyone witnesses it the police files charges, not the victim. Not when it comes to assault and battery.

Wow.....no. Maybe in some jurisdictions, but certainly that would not be the norm.
