So what if a member of your family has been murdered? TV reporters should be respected! LOL. Wish I had been there to pound on them also.

libsukbad   March 12th, 2008 - 10:01 am

Yet another worthless, excruciatingly short on details drive-by media effort. What were the details in the murder case? Was the white victim killed by a black? I have to guess yes because the story left that out as usual, did the dumb cracker B*&%H news director intentionally send an all black crew to get the “reaction” from the family that they clearly desired? I don’t care what that stupid white B(%#H news director says, the public does not need to see grieving families wounds reopened. If these questions are answered in the affirmative then that reporter should not have been just “punched” in the head. Next time how about some details, drive-by idiots.

Joe   March 12th, 2008 - 10:45 am

BREITBART I am about over you! How come when the races are reversed the headlines read “Teens beat woman on bus” or “Man attacks store clerk”?!?!?! But yet this story CLEARLY makes it a point to say White vs Black.

BREITBART you make me SICK! And don’t give me this “well it came from the AP not us” because your web guys are the ones who fill in the headlines and set the story to your html.

peaches1   March 12th, 2008 - 11:06 am

This was not racial. It was purely news media sticking their noses where not wanted. The news media just reports this way to piss you off. They are nothing more than a bunch of runny nosed bratty children.

Well   March 12th, 2008 - 11:07 am

I actually am in the media business…a part of the liberal media, no less. But that doesn’t mean I can’t see this for what it is.

The reporter was doing her job, and certainly didn’t deserve to be beaten up. And I’m guessing that the three women who beat her aren’t necessarily the classiest bunch. But come on, why must everything be a hate crime?

Actually, I hate the concept of hate crime. It should be illegal for me to beat you up, no matter what color you and I are. If you add hate crime legislation, you’re saying that you beating up a black guy is worse than you beating up a white guy. Nope. In either offense, you are in the wrong, and the penalty should be the same, no matter what your motivation.

Karen   March 12th, 2008 - 11:12 am

YOu can google the times that white reporters have been attacked by black criminals and their families, and they headlines are never what Breitfart has. Let us remember, two WHITE CO-EDs were brutally attacked and killed by black men last week, and the headline never mentioned race. What is says is that white straight people can never be victims of hate crimes.

libsukbad   March 12th, 2008 - 11:20 am

Well, again you are dead on in the post concerning hate crimes. I have posted numerous times regarding my belief that hate crime legislation should not exist on any level in this country following the same premise you alluded to, that perpetrator and victims’ racial makeup should have no bearing whatsoever on sentencing. I believe assault is assault, rape is rape and if the sentencing judges would simply do their jobs following sentencing guidelines instead of trying to unearth every “mitigating and extenuating” circumstance they could find to show leniency to the offender, there would NEVER be a need for “enhanced” penalties.

Joe, I also easily notice the headlines and how they are twisted by the writers, it’s the proverbial elephant in the room that’s pretty hard to hide.

SoCal Patriot   March 12th, 2008 - 1:25 pm

Racism is wrong no matter what color the racist scum is and sticking up for racist scum is just as racist…

Typical White Trash. So embarrassing I’ll have to double my time in the tanning salon.
Breitbart double standard does suck though.

Sean Rydecker   March 12th, 2008 - 2:34 pm

How can you tell if a white person is racist?

Easy. Show them a story about a black news crew getting beat up. If they condemn the attack as they should, they’re not racist. If the fail to condemn the act, and instead complain about the story and “anti-white bias” in the “liberal” media, then there’s a good chance that they are racist. Some of these Drudge readers are clearly and openly racist. I bet these dummies think global warming is fake, too.

Sasha   March 12th, 2008 - 2:38 pm

I am from the part of SC this new anchor was reporting. The crime was the grandson who killed his grandfather! Ms Brown along with another white reporter was reporting the murder on Public property. The women ran across the street and bypassed the white reporter and began beating Ms. Brown she never had a chance to defend herself! This is the home of Susan Smith! How sickening this should happen and to believe some in this country feel we are ready for a Black President! What a Joke…and joke 2..They should have been charged with lynching, but they have assault and battery charges! They should have been kicking the grandson’s A%%! Hope they don’t get to go to the funeral…This is clearly a family that is dysfunctional!

Libertarian PitBull   March 12th, 2008 - 2:38 pm

The incident was racially motivated at least in part because the whites were yelling the “n” word at the black news crew.

One of the armpits of America is white trash southern culture.

McLovin   March 12th, 2008 - 2:45 pm

WSPA-TV sent a black news crew to intentionally harass the family of a murder victim. I hope both the news director (Alex Bongiorno) and film crew are prosecuted for harassment and held responsible in a civil suit. And what a joke that Bongiorno is. She’s a horse-faced Sheryl Crow wanna be:

Here’s a bit of advice, cupcake. Go play dress-up somewhere else and leave broadcast news to the adults.

rb   March 12th, 2008 - 2:47 pm

Face it folks: Integration does not, has not, and will not ever work. Races are going to conflict. You can call it racism, cultural separation, whatever you like. The fact is most people want to live in a homogenous society. Nothing will change that. As long as the government forces integration on us, the problems will continue. This country is headed for a nasty racial civil conflict. It will be whites against blacks against hispanics. Mark my words. Nothing will stop it.

Whitey Ford   March 12th, 2008 - 3:18 pm

An investigation means people will go to your house most of the time. This family made themselves look exceptionally guilty, even in the aftermath.

BREITBART is censuring un-PC posts, so I’m re-posting again:

Breitbart – where’s the “5 BLACKS Beat White Couple On Bus In Unprovoked Attack” headline? http://www.wbaltv.com/news/15572148/detail.html

Breitbart – where’s the “BLACK Gang-banger Suspect In White UNC Student Slaying” headline?
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,337050,00.html

Breitbart – where’s the “BLACK Psycho Kills And White Auburn University Student” headline?
http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2008Mar09/0,4670,StudentPresidentKilled,00.html

Breitbart – where’s the “3 BLACKS Beat And Rob Elderly White Male” headline?
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,336093,00.html

If anyone really doubts that the VAST MAJORITY of violent crime in this country is committed by BLACKS, then you need to need to read the Department of Justice uniform crime statistics. If you dopes in the media never bother to report the main SOURCE of violent crime, do you ever really expect to have a SOLUTION to violent crime?

jim   March 12th, 2008 - 3:46 pm

Thems White voters! They could never be the ones at fault!

BREITBART has become more and more simply another mouthpiece of the far right.

True journalism in the USA is dead, or bought and paid for.

Just another disgusting BREITBART spin, hoping we wont notice what weasels they have become.

jim   March 12th, 2008 - 3:54 pm

This is another incident of the media trying to incite racial tensions. We all need to stop swallowing this crap. It is all too obvious what the actual truth is. Just look at the actual crime statistics of any major city in the USA. What you will find will shock you.

Russell Brown   March 12th, 2008 - 3:55 pm

Way to create a race driven crime out of something that had nothing to do with race? Pathetic example if news reporting; AGAIN!

Charles   March 12th, 2008 - 3:55 pm

Amazing. This was not a black / white issue. It was about a murder investigation. Once again, the media is trying to make up news. Which isn’t really news is it ?

Kevin   March 12th, 2008 - 3:57 pm

My son was severely injured last year when robbed by a gang of BLACKS in New Jersey. Guess what. No one cared. Why? Becuase he was WHITE. The blacks are for some crazy reason, a protected class in America. Like the cows in India. They can do whatever they want and it’s OK.

Dave R.   March 12th, 2008 - 4:00 pm

Why isn’t it a hate crime when the BLACK GUYS shot and killed the white girls last week??? But a BLACK reporter can harrass a grieving family, get her ass kicked, AND IT’S A HATE CRIME !!

GOOD GOING !!!

Here’s a story with a bit more perspective:
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gEtDnVBWSq8zHAmN79xak-Vhb5ywD8VBJ8NG0

White grandson killed white grandfather. White reporters from another station where near by and weren’t attacked or harassed. It could be a racial thing, or possibly they just don’t like that particular station!

Jerome   March 12th, 2008 - 4:08 pm

I am a black man, and I have robbed people of all races. I does not descrimate. I will rob everybody. But it make more cents to rob white folks cuz theys got more money on them most of the time. Blacks are too poor to have any moeny.

I stole this laptop from a whiteguy at starbuks.

Jerome   March 12th, 2008 - 4:10 pm

Travis   March 12th, 2008 - 4:16 pm

Edward people like you make me sick. I understand where you are comming from and I live in charlotte, NC where crimes happen all the time. Yes some black people commit crimes, some white people commit crimes, some asian people commit crimes, most likely there are even some mentally retarded people out there who have too. Whats your point, I got lots of friends and many of them aren’t white I dont worry thinking they are gonna rob me out of no where. Crime is everywhere all kinds of people commit it. Just like you shouldnt assume all black people are gonna rob you many people need to fix there view that all these white people are out to be racist and screw them over all the time.

paul   March 12th, 2008 - 4:18 pm

Judging by the diverse comments, the anger should be directed towards the legislators that have continued to make race an issue. Whether it be quotas, hate crime legislation, applying for college, filling out tax forms or even global warming (western countries seem to only be the ones required to make changes) race is the driving factor. You add the modern-day definition of racism to the mix, that only the ruling race of a region can be racist and minorities therefore can not be racist and you get the broken system we have now. Of course the media is going to capitalize on a story like this because the media has not tried anything new in…well…since the printing press was originally invented! I am from the South and if I took offense each time I heard someone use the term REDNECK I would not have time for much of anything else. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can win me a favorbale lawsuit. I would like to comment on the verified specifics of this story but since there are none. On a lighter note did you know that Social Scientists and Political Scientists do not have to take Science classes! They are not part of the School of Science but rather Liberal Arts! I’d rather trust someone that has gotten us to the moon rather that someone that has gotten us nowhere.

Steven Belsky   March 12th, 2008 - 4:18 pm

Hate crime laws exist because people who hate:

PUNCH a little harder;

STAB a little deeper;

When using a object (BAT, OR A CLUB OF ANY TYPE) they would hit harder

IF THAT DIFFERENCE BECOMES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

1. NON PERMANENT AND PERMANENT INJURY

2. PERMANENT INJURY AND DEATH

THERE SHOULD BE A DIFFERENCE IN SENTENCE.

Blacks have been getting a free ride in this country long enough. The blacks in this video provoke a grieving white family and then act all self-righteous when they lash out at them??

Forget it, you whining, annoying blacks are not getting anymore sympathy from us. If you want to be treated equally, you can’t have special laws that give you blacks extra rights and priviliges.
Why can’t you blacks perform on a level playing field? Why do you have to have laws to give you extra rights and privileges?

I hope they fire the black crew and send them back to the streets where they are from.

The Media has one objective as a part of the Left’s overall scheme of things: use its ink and control of information to break down all social norms and sense of values by fomenting division and hatred. If they have to use hyperbole and sensationalism to pay a few bills along the way, then so be it. Either way, it meets the goal.

Boycot the Media-Left.

Justa Thought   March 12th, 2008 - 4:54 pm

What I want to know is did they send another crew down there to stick a camera in the faces of those that had been beaten to get their reactions, “Sir/Maam, how does it feel to be beat by ________?? When exactly did you KNOW you were going to get that beat down??? Was there NOTHING you could have done to stop it?? You HAD a microphone, did you NOT THINK to use it as a weapon??” On and on like they do with fire victims…

hahahah ignorant southerners. get a grip. so superior, yet resort to illogical and emotional violence at the drop of a hat. Typical Scotch-Irish pugnacious and irresponsible. When asked why they would do such a thing, I’m sure the response was something akin to *sputter-sputter n-word sputter spit* Unable to deal with reality, so they lash out at someone they figure should bear the brunt of their confused aggression. Is *anyone* surprised? I thought not.

All you sad sack white complainers need to get a grip. It’s not the blacks, it’s not the jews, it’s not the mexicans who own the deeds to your trucks, take your rent money, and pay you such paltry salaries. They have almost zero effect on your lives if you’re honest with yourselves. You’re just pitiful, and things won’t get any better until you look long and hard at reality, without feeling the urge to chuck a rock at some colored boy’s head. Grow up, White people.

OH AND TO THE PERSON THAT MADE A COMMENT ABOUT THE UNC AND THE GEORGIA GIRL THAT WERE KILLED, HOW MANY BLACK OR HISPANIC WOMEN COLLEGE WOMEN GET KILLED OR ARE MISSING EVERY DAY AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA BARELY GIVES THEM A SECOND LOOK! A LIFE IS A LIFE AND EACH SHOULD BE EQUALLY VALUED, BUT IN AMERICA, A WHITE LIFE IS MUCH MORE VALUED THAN A BLACK LIFE. IF A BLACK COLLEGE STUDENT IS KILLED, IT IS NEVER THE LEAD STORY FOR A WEEK. Sad, just sad.

Why do blacks need extra rights and privilages? becuase of crackers like you edwards. WHy is there hate crimes Laws? Becuase there are thousands of NAZI skinheads out there that terrories minoirities everyday. These NAZI’s target specifically, blacks, hispanics, and specially Jews. Fight the Power…. the power is racist like Trent Lott, rupert murdock, rush limpballs, Sean Insanity. And all the white people that kept the brother down… Look at your history books… do you remember the 60’s if not ask your white sheet wearing father or grandfather… he will tell you about the goodold days..hahahaa

Popeyecpo   March 12th, 2008 - 5:11 pm

Let me give you a hint people. When babies are born into this world the only sin they have is original sin and that is erased at Baptism. The programing is up to parents, churches and schools. The child developes opinions from what it sees and learns.
Is is possible that years of racism have left older blacks bitter and let that come out to their children and grand children while the 60’s love generation of whites tried to build a bridge and many programes to enable blacks to achieve equality? White youths today are sick of recriminations and the haveful attitude of underachievers. The tolerance level for unjustified name calling and playing the old race card will not work anymore. The blame of passed wrongdoing placed on the nexted generation to cause a feeling of guild to get what you want will not work any more. The black race themselves as have all races had periods of grevious attrocities commitied such as Dufar. I suggest we all look in the mirror for the problem.
The tv crew showed bad judgement and stired this up while it is no excuse for the attack I can understand how it happened.

HENCE: RACE CRIME.

Let’s see, last week 2 white college coeds (Auburn and UNC) are gunned down by worthless black scum. I guess once they go to trial some illiterate black will lie their way on to the jury and nullify the verdict. As long as blacks stand by garbage like these (See Jena 6) you will continue to be treated like the second class citizens you are impersonating.

Ricardo,
Wow, Whiner?! I am a whiner!? Isn’t every person on this site that is whining about black men killing white people whining? Having to hold their bags cause they are gonna get stolen by a black person, and they aren’t whining.

Oh, and about the slavery thing, don’t you think I know that we sold our own people into slavery? and hoorah and a gold star for your ancestors!! Its looks like their desire for equality and to free slaves didn’t pass on to you.

As far as Ivy league educated, that doesn’t mean anything. I know a ton of so called “Ivy leaguers” that still don’t have a clue. One prime example is George Bush.

And as far as me being arrogant, If telling the truth is arrogant, I guess I am arrogant. And I will be a phenomenal lawyer, with or without your approval.

Bob Loblaw   March 12th, 2008 - 5:35 pm

There is nothing in the story about the motivation of the attackers. Was it really about race? I doubt it. People get weird when they are grieving. It was a stupid event, but I doubt it was about race. Another attempt to sensationalize an otherwise non-story into a media event and stir up a bunch of crap. No wonder people don’t watch the news anymore.

Nietzschean   March 12th, 2008 - 5:43 pm

GeneralFury, we’ll have to take your word for that since you’ve conveyed next to nothing with your comment. Care to fill in the blanks, or is “white people” supposed to read your mind?

Edward   March 12th, 2008 - 5:45 pm

Not many details are given to determine if it was racism, with the exception of the slurs. Was there baiting involved by the reporter? Did they just see a black news crew and see blood? What was the context that led up to the confrontation? Without that, how do they come to the conclusion it’s a race crime?

If they are white trash and attacked for no other reason then the pigment color of skin, they should get punished. If the reporter is throwing salt in a grieving family’s wounds, she should get punished.

Bottom line, if you hate another for different skin pigment, that’s racism and you’re a moron. It’s universal.

It is not racism just because you read Drudge, and anyone who thinks that way, that is your opinion. My opinion is that you are a pompus idiot.

Darryl   March 12th, 2008 - 5:51 pm

The reporter was on public property doing her job. That does not call for being called racial terms. And all you who are making excuses for the inexcusable are pretty pathetic.

Good gried, how many DOZENS of times you have watched local media reporting on a murder at the scene of the crime. This is nothing different, other than the reporter was called racist terms for just doing her job. SHEESH!

Sturgis Drain   March 12th, 2008 - 6:00 pm

Actually, it doesn’t look like the reporter is defending herself in the tape. She wants a piece of somebody so bad, she even hits her own cameraman.

Well   March 12th, 2008 - 6:10 pm

The murder was a grandson murdering a grandfather, so it wasn’t a black-on-white crime.

But let’s not turn this into a racial thing. Yes, the victim in the beating was black. Yes, the perpetrators were white. But they were pissed off at the world and would’ve beaten up any reporter who showed up. It’s not a hate crime when that happens.

They deserve to face the penalty for assault, but it wasn’t a hate crime.

publicopinion   March 12th, 2008 - 6:12 pm

this is all out of context already, the lady that was attacked is a reporter, not a young African American associated with gangs, and the white folks…funny fact they live in a trailer, why should anybody be so shocked that they are racist, they are a freaking cliche, geit it ? they are white…live in a trailer… can’t act like a normal person and respond or not to questions, have to yell some racial slurs, why is this shocking? it was just and incident between white ignorants , and a reporter that happened to be african american, that’s it. Racism is bad, but everyone insist to feed into it, this is a sad place…..and it won’t change, unless we all change. There’s good and bad people everywhere , get over it, nobody is better than anybody just cause of their skin color, this is stupid.

If we reversed the roles a bit, as I guess Drudge readers wish was the case, and it was a pack of 3 angry, trashy black women attacking a white news crew just trying to do its job – what would your reaction be? Would you excuse their behavior as a “grieving family” being tormented by the “librul media”? LOL, I bet.

BillyBob the redneck   March 12th, 2008 - 6:21 pm

Wow ..this sure got the race discussion going. Here is my take on this headline and some of the comments here. Everything I say is a fact and will make everyone on both sides mad.

1. The headline is puke-inducing reflection of typical liberal media which is always using unusual events to push a perception of the norm which is exact opposite of reality. The fact remains that black on white crime is vastly more prevalent then white on black crime. The media will not report this because as liberals they feel the ignorant white redneck public out there can’t handle it. This shows what idiots they are. Everyone knows the reality. Even black people know it. Liberals know it too..its just a game they play.

2. My ancestors were slave traders in south Louisianna. I do not feel one ounce of guilt for it. I had nothing to do with it. Anyone who says I should feel any guilt about this is a bigot. To identify a person with the cultural inadequicies of his ancestors is bigotry for which you should be ashamed. Shame on you! Get over your hate..praying might help.

3. I can’t decide which makes me sicker…whining black people or whining white people. They both do…but actually I think its whining white people that make me sicker. All other circumstances being equal, black people are definitely more disadvantaged then white people in this society. I’m not for or against affirmative action; i really couldn’t care less. I’m a white person and can deal with it if a black man gets a job before me because he’s black. I’ll just go get another job. But one thing I will not do is whine and cry like a bably and act as if this is the norm in society. The norm is that most people get jobs because of who they KNOW. This is a fact. It is also a fact that most people in a position to hire people are white people who know mostly only white people..hence white people get hired. There is no doubt that racism exists when it comes to hiring people..i’ve seen it. I’m sure that black employers are just a racist as white employers…the difference is that white employers are over-represented when it comes to being a person in a position to hire. So its ok with me if the government tries to rectify this disparity that black people in general suffer from.

4. A higher percentage of black people are criminals then are white poeple (or asians and hispanics). There is a reason for this…and its NOT an ‘institutionally racist society” as so many of the black race-baiters like to say. There are several proofs that these people are ignorant demagogues. One is that when racist really was the number one factor holding blacks back in this country…black crime was much less then it is nowadays. Also, many studies have been done in which the prison population was surveyed and only men who had fathers were counted. Every study has shown that of the prisoners with fathers….the whites population is more represented then the blacks! Thats right. A black boy with a father in the home is less likely to go to prison then a white boy with a father in the home. The liberal media can’t focus too much on this though…because it destroys two of their most cherished fantasies: A. That racism is the number one problem facing blacks, and B. That stable marriages are critically important to society.

blklawstudent1   March 12th, 2008 - 6:24 pm

Ricardo,

Whining, ok, like everyone on this board that is so afraid of black people robbing and raping their kids aren’t whining. You all see reality those your closed-minded lense.

Wow, Ricardo, Gold Star for Ricardo’s ancestor’s!!! I know that black people sold other blacks into slavery. Spare me your history lesson. Its too bad that your Amish ancestors quest for equality did not pass on to you.

As far as people on here being Ivy Leaguers, Your precious president was an Ivy Leaguer and he is doesn’t have a clue!!. I know a lot of Ivy leaguers who also don’t have a clue. Going to an Ivy League school doesn’t make you smart or more superior.

And I can guarantee you that 95 percent of the people on here would not have the guts to say half of the things to a minority in person. Just like some of their ancestors had to hide behind sheets, people on here are hiding behind their keyboards.

As far as me being arrogant, I guess if speaking the truth is arrogant, then I am proudly arrogant.

Toodles!!!

northstar62   March 12th, 2008 - 6:29 pm

How do you tell if this was a racist attack? Were there any other news crews covering this story? What was the racial make up? Were they also attacked?

I don’t know enough about the incident but I don’t trust the media regardless of color.

sam   March 12th, 2008 - 6:36 pm

definition of racist – see above messages.

Looks like the good ole boys are gathered round. With their age old complaints of how the black race has ruined their lives. They claim the news studio intentionally sent black reporters there to harass the white family, of which the victim and the perp are a part. And when the young lady attacks the news reporter, somehow 300 years of American black-white history is to blame. As well as the vast liberal conspiracy to charge higher taxes and give white jobs away to brown people. Are you getting all of this? Some of you actually take this seriously. Its..its amazing actually. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

libsukbad   March 12th, 2008 - 6:36 pm

Well, if your facts are correct you should get into the media business, because you shed more light on the details in one sentence than the whole “professional” news staff released in that story. The whole reason that a racial angle could even be intimated was due to poor factual reporting in the original story, and let’s face it, the racial angle is getting a more prominent place in discourse because of poor quality, PC driven media that seems to be focused on continuing to make a huge deal out of symbolic perceived slights like nooses ( most of which were found to be planted by blacks in the first place) while whites are being viciously assaulted by blacks with nary a peep from the same media. Thus the growing divide and the burgeoning “white rage”.

White man beat by black guys…Failed to get in headline…

Robert   March 12th, 2008 - 6:55 pm

The so-called racists have been proven right time and time again.

They said letting Blacks in to White schools would destroy them. It did.

They said letting them in White neighborhoods would destroy them. It did.

They said letting them vote would result in them just voting themselves more welfare. They did.

So where is it, exactly that the so-called racist were wrong?

I agree with those that say hate crime legislation is nothing more than legal racism. A crime is a crime and to persecute someone because of what they may or may not have been thinking at the time is ridiculous! Murder is murder. Assault is assault. Period.
Second, the liberal drive-by news media, Bightfart, Reuters, AP, NYT, Network TV, etc…, are currently the cause of most of the hate on the planet. They intentionally wind people up. Of course they don’t publish race when minoriteis are involved in a crime unless they are white. And they certainly aren’t eager to publish the political party of politicians involved in crimes and scandals unless, of course, they are Republicans.
The news media is already seeing that their continued left wing bias is hurting them in ratings and financially.

From Justa Thought:
“Whites have LOST ALL POWER”

You’re right. That’s why in November, “we” are going to throw white people a proverbial bone and allow John McCain to become the next American president. Whites have waited so long for this opportunity, to have one of their own in the Oval Office. We hope it will ease the tensions from keeping “the man” down all these years.

CrackerJack   March 12th, 2008 - 7:45 pm

A lot of people are torqued off about the double standard in a lot of the media: if the attacker is white and the victim is black, both races are noted. If the victim is white and the attacker is black, races are not mentioned
(like the baseball bat attack against the white guy in Florida by the three blacks).

JB   March 12th, 2008 - 8:38 pm

Why is this story listed as “White attacks black reporter”?
Why on earth don’t you list attacks against whites by blacks in the same descriptive way?

Ace   March 12th, 2008 - 10:22 pm

For what its worth, actually the crime was not racial — white guy murders his grandfather.

The attack on the reporter was racially motivated. (I write that as a conservative white guy.) There was another news crew there on the scene (actually closer to the family’s property) that was not attacked. You can see their video of the whole altercation at http://www.wyff.com. The reporter that was attacked said that the people beating her (4 on 1) were using racial epithets the whole time.

RG   March 12th, 2008 - 10:27 pm

Beating up reporters? Is this a Great Country or what? As they were arrested I guess beating up reporters is illegal or something. Were they out of season? Is there a bag limit?

DAVE said:”your racial double standards are breathtaking.

Thanks for that link. In that whole story, I don’t think they mentioned race once. That is how it should have been reported.

Basically, one of the grieving family members asked both of the reporters to stop filming and go away. The white reporter (who did the later filming) complied and went down the street to interview other neighbors.

The black reporter was also asked to leave. She replied that she was allowed to be there as it was a public sidewalk. She was correct, albeit used poor judgement. She could have moved down the street and did the reporting and respected the family’s wishes and avoided the whole conflict.

That attack wasn’t racially motivated. It was the grief of the family mixed with a lack of respect and good judgement on the part of the reporter. If the two reporters would have swapped places, I’m sure the white reporter would have gotten nailed. The family was upset and emotions got the better of them.

In any case, the family was in the wrong. She was on public property, doing her job. She did NOT deserve to get hit, no matter what.

Dan   March 12th, 2008 - 10:42 pm

Race is never mentioned in assaults unless the perp is white and the victim is black. It is very rare.
Anyone who ignores this absolute double standard is a blind fool who has swallowed the liberal mantra hook line and sinker.

Ms. Randi Scott   March 12th, 2008 - 11:00 pm

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only White person who ses the double standard of media reporting.

Anytime I read a story about someone killing or raping or robbing and the criminal isn’t identified as White, I KNOW the perp is black or Hispanic.

I’m very glad that other White people are aware of this racist reporting too.

Ben   March 12th, 2008 - 11:05 pm

Why is it rarely a story when blacks attack whites, but a sensationalized story when blacks are attacked by whites? Why do black leaders rally the community when black people are the victims, but defend black hoodlums for being “victims of society?”

As a minority myself, I am more outraged by the hypocrisy of the media, the black leadership, and the community.

John   March 12th, 2008 - 11:16 pm

Hey, I’m starting to get the hang of this media race thing. Black(s) attacks white(s)? Nope, no racial motivation and rarely any mention of the races of parties involved. After all, we don’t want those honkys to get all riled up. White(s) attack black(s)? Oh, clearly racially motivated. In fact, let’s make sure the headlines reflect the races and story outlines the “motivation” of whotey. Got it. Anybody interested in hiring me as their producer, station manager, or editor? I am clearly qualified now.

Stinky McStinkheimer   March 12th, 2008 - 11:26 pm

What I can’t figure out (as a white guy) Is how Blacks can allow the Democrats to arrest ALL the black men, abort ALL the black babies, allow Mexicans to take over ALL the construction and custodial work. It is a fact, that a black man with a pistol in his car gets arrested, and a white man doesn’t. See, a white man gets to have the right to keep and bear arms, but a black man doesn’t. Therefore, when a white guy gets car jacked, the jacker gets shot, the black man loses his car. Fact: Police TARGET black neighborhoods, because all the crime is in black neighborhoods, because honest law abiding black people aren’t allowed to have guns. Go try to rob in a white neighborhood where everyone has guns. Can you say “Joe Horn”?

Rob   March 12th, 2008 - 11:29 pm

From Sean
“How can you tell if a white person is racist?

Easy. Show them a story about a black news crew getting beat up. If they condemn the attack as they should, they’re not racist. If the fail to condemn the act, and instead complain about the story and “anti-white bias” in the “liberal” media, then there’s a good chance that they are racist.”

From the liberal handbook: How do you tell someone is racist/sexist/homophobe? If they disagree with me on any issue relating to race, sex or sexuality they’re a racist/sexist/homophobe!

Nate K   March 12th, 2008 - 11:35 pm

The story wording was in bad taste, it should have been, for instance “News crew attacked by murder victims family”, plain and simple and to the point, without skin color making any difference.

Jorge K.   March 12th, 2008 - 11:47 pm

It doesn’t sound like that was the victims family. It sounds like it was the family of the murderer. Those family members obviously behaved like savages. I’m glad the crew was okay. They were only doing their jobs.

Jay   March 12th, 2008 - 11:59 pm

This is poor journalism.

In addition, just because they were using racial slurs does not necessarily make it a racially motivated attack as the title suggests. I’m sure if I was angry enough to attack someone I wouldn’t be concerened about the profanity that I was using.

It is also very possible that this attacker(s) was using racial slurs for the simple fact that they are just not very creative.

Travis   March 13th, 2008 - 12:02 am

These headlines do make me sick. Im sure they would have had some crappy names for white reporters that showed up too if they did. They felt lots of anger and spewed it at those reporters the easiest way by adding racial remarks. Pathetic how we wonder why racism continues in this country when all we do is label groups of people and constantly look for “racists.” Sure there are people like that out there but this will never stop unless we treat individuals like individuals and stop assuming they are a certain way because of skin color, how much more racist can we get. Like voting for the next pres based on race/gender what a stupid idea; how about voting based on their accomplishments? The founding fathers would have heart attacks if they could see how pathetic we have truly become.

Edward in Texas   March 13th, 2008 - 12:02 am

Whites have to deal with being assaulted by blacks in this country every single day. How do you blacks feel after reading this story? Well, welcome to our world. You blacks may live with having to deal with getting second looks every now and then, but we whites have to live our lives in constant fear of being attacked, robbed and terrorized by you people anytime we walk out of a store with a bag, or our homes to our cars.

Welcome to our world. This is a daily fear we have to live with.

We whites have to constantly look over our shoulders and be on the lookout for blacks who are looking to rob and steal and beat us. Don’t even pretend you don’t know it’s true.

Chuck in Las Vegas   March 13th, 2008 - 12:05 am

blklawstudent1   March 13th, 2008 - 12:48 am

Wow, it is amazing to me how when people get on the internet knowing that they can post anonymously and suddenly grow the balls to say anything they want. It is unbelievable(though it shouldn’t be) to me that people still think like this.The reason we have affirmative action and other programs is because of every poster’s WHITE ANCESTOR perpetuated a system of racism and injustice in this country for 300 years of slavery and Jim Crow to maintain the status quo of white supremacy. You have bad people of every race. If anyone on this page actually read the story and saw that the family that beat the reporter was not a grieving family. Their dumb a$$ grandson killed the grandfather and they didn’t want to be on the news!!! And to the poster that said we get looks “every now and then”, please!!! Live one day in my shoes!! I am highly educated and have never committed a crime in my life and I get looks frequently. Get a clue and get a life. People on this site are so UNEDUCATED. There is a difference b/t racism and prejudice. Racism involves POWER, power that blacks and other minorities in this country traditionally do not have. ANYONE can be prejudiced, there is no power structure involved in that. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!

blklawstudent1   March 13th, 2008 - 12:52 am

Granted, the headline of he article was slanted, but as we all know, the news is not reported to inform people, its is to cause sensationalism and sell newspapers. Sad, but true. Like another poster said, the headline should have read differently.

Justa Thought   March 13th, 2008 - 12:54 am

blklawstudent1: “Racism involves POWER”

I agree, but with those nasty ‘hate crimes’, Whites have LOST ALL POWER. It doesn’t matter HOW you have lived your life, it matters what color your victim. BUT ONLY when the perp is White!

Nietzschean   March 13th, 2008 - 1:02 am

I wonder how many of the blacks commenting on here have ever used the terms “white bitch” or “cracker”? This family was grieving. I personally can cut them some slack. And the term “white trash” really should be avoided unless one is prepared to hear and accept a correlating expression–e.g. black trash, the N-word etc. You accept or you accept them all.

Linda   March 13th, 2008 - 1:04 am

Joe your comment needs repeated!

BREITBART I am about over you! How come when the races are reversed the headlines read “Teens beat woman on bus” or “Man attacks store clerk”?!?!?! But yet this story CLEARLY makes it a point to say White vs Black.

BREITBART you make me SICK! And don’t give me this “well it came from the AP not us” because your web guys are the ones who fill in the headlines and set the story to your html.

In fact all the liberal news is guilty of the same bias!

“we whites have to live our lives in constant fear of being attacked, robbed and terrorized by you people anytime we walk out of a store with a bag, or our homes to our cars. Now you know how it feels.”

Hah. Cowardice finally admitted. And statistically Whites probably fear 90% of the blacks they deal with, where 3% of them may be inclined to violent non-drug related crime. Plus it seems the author doesn’t know anything about history. Whites are always portrayed as angst ridden, neurotic, and full of fear. When you add in a violent streak, you have a recipe for the America we see today. Pitiful.

Geo   March 13th, 2008 - 1:07 am

How ironic, so many of these comments lament the evil white racists. One comment by Sasha said the family should be tried for a “lynching” crime. But then you see they repeatedly the term “white trash” is used. Now, um, what if a person used the term “balck trash”? Would that be politically correct? Or Mexican trash, or Muslum trash, or whatever. Double standard! I can understand how white racism is being created and enouraged by schools, politicians,likemaster race-baters such as Jesse Jackson, and the media.

hector   March 13th, 2008 - 1:11 am

the white man should stop fearing the dark man. this is what racism is all about. the white man after opressing the dark man for so long is afraid of losing the power. they believe that when they lose the power the dark man will turn around and treat them the way their former masters did. That is why through out the American History, white have formed paramilitary groups, such as the KKK to systematically opress the dark man. This opression was also done through the government. Dark man was forbidden to be educated at one point. if you learned to read you where sentenced to death. later in time you where cut off from service and credit from banks, and jobs themselve… any read history, educate yourself, and stop being such a dumb ass cracker.

ricardo maxwell   March 13th, 2008 - 1:11 am

In fact, if you weren’t so busy whining, you would know that most Americans did not own slaves. You would also know the slaves were sold into slavery by their own people!

Actually, history lesson. The majority of African slaves sold by Africans were sold by muslims to europeans. They targeted tribes that refused to convert to Islam from Christianity or their tribal religion. If you converted, you were spared. There were still a large number of slaves captured by whites, who took any African regardless of religion.

Nietzschean   March 13th, 2008 - 1:20 am

White people should be afraid of blacks. We’re no different from Jesse Jackson, who himself admitted that young black males frighten him. Roughly 6% of the US population (i.e., black males) are responsible for half the murders. It’s sensible to be scared of them, unless one doesn’t value his life or isn’t afraid of using lethal force to protect it, which itself entails a good deal of grief. It’s unfortunate for the law-abiding blacks; but they should blame the black criminals.

BillyBob the Redneck   March 13th, 2008 - 2:18 am

:::::Note to brietbart moderators..i corrected a mistype in this post..please ignore my previous post:::::::::

Wow ..this sure got the race discussion going. Here is my take on this headline and some of the comments here. Everything I say is a fact and will make everyone on both sides mad.

1. The headline is puke-inducing reflection of typical liberal media which is always using unusual events to push a perception of the norm which is exact opposite of reality. The fact remains that black on white crime is vastly more prevalent then white on black crime. The media will not report this because as liberals they feel the ignorant white redneck public out there can’t handle it. This shows what idiots they are. Everyone knows the reality. Even black people know it. Liberals know it too..its just a game they play.

2. My ancestors were slave traders in south Louisianna. I do not feel one ounce of guilt for it. I had nothing to do with it. Anyone who says I should feel any guilt about this is a bigot. To identify a person with the cultural inadequicies of his ancestors is bigotry for which you should be ashamed. Shame on you! Get over your hate..praying might help.

3. I can’t decide which makes me sicker…whining black people or whining white people. They both do…but actually I think its whining white people that make me sicker. All other circumstances being equal, black people are definitely more disadvantaged then white people in this society. I’m not for or against affirmative action; i really couldn’t care less. I’m a white person and can deal with it if a black man gets a job before me because he’s black. I’ll just go get another job. But one thing I will not do is whine and cry like a bably and act as if this is the norm in society. The norm is that most people get jobs because of who they KNOW. This is a fact. It is also a fact that most people in a position to hire people are white people who know mostly only white people..hence white people get hired. There is no doubt that racism exists when it comes to hiring people..i’ve seen it. I’m sure that black employers are just a racist as white employers…the difference is that white employers are over-represented when it comes to being a person in a position to hire. So its ok with me if the government tries to rectify this disparity that black people in general suffer from.

4. A higher percentage of black people are criminals then are white poeple (or asians and hispanics). There is a reason for this…and its NOT an ‘institutionally racist society” as so many of the black race-baiters like to say. There are several proofs that these people are ignorant demagogues. One is that when racist really was the number one factor holding blacks back in this country…black crime was much less then it is nowadays. Also, many studies have been done in which the prison population was surveyed and only men who had fathers were counted. Every study has shown that of the prisoners with fathers….the whites population is more represented then the blacks! Thats right. A black boy with a father in the home is less likely to go to prison then a white boy with a father in the home. The liberal media can’t focus too much on this though…because it destroys two of their most cherished fantasies: A. That racism is the number one problem facing blacks, and B. That stable marriages are not critically important to society.

Willy   March 13th, 2008 - 2:21 am

Where is it written that the media has a responsibility or a requirement to report to the American citizens as the station reps says they have too? Look this is not a black against white crime so don’t go there. Nobody should be hit or punched while on public property BUT the media what ever colour they are should have some respect but media people believe they a GOD!

jColes   March 13th, 2008 - 2:29 am

Since details of what actually transpired and led-up to the attack are woefully lacking, all we can say with clarity is that an assault and battery took place. Beyond that, who did what to whom and for what motivation is speculative and a ’she said, she said’ situation.

Seems to me that poor judgment was shown by all sides in this affair. Hate crime? Possibly. Stupidity crime, most certainly.

I’m deeply disappointed that the hate mongers and race-baiters among us seem to be successful in perpetuating myths and stereotypes that have long out-lived their time; and that these same people have succeeded in separating Americans from other Americans. How are we supposed to face-down and defeat our enemies when the only people in the world who care about America — Americans — are at each other’s throats?

Black, white, brown, brown, yellow or red; we are Americans together…not the same, all from different backgrounds and all with slightly different cultural norms — but at its core this country is built on the concept that all persons here are brothers and sisters together, equal under law, one family with many branches. No family is idyllic, no law is perfect, humans are frail and flawed beings…but by the gods, if we, then don’t make a better effort to get along together all that we have, all the good we have done for ourselves and for helpless, tattered millions around the world will be lost.

You people who speak to each so shrilly, who call each other names, who fail to respect each other — all of you — you harm and demean and us all. Our beautiful land, a place abounding with every resource mankind needs to flourish, could be lush a with the rich foliage of people blossoming into their beautiful selves. Instead, when acid and venomous behavior inflames the worst sort of behaviors, I see the desert — an arid place, devoid of beauty — encroaching.

Shame on those on all sides in this sordid incident who endeavor to make us all less than we could be.

blklawstudent1, Sir can you name one nation where Blacks have all the power and are thriving and not killing each other ? The world monatary fund has spent billions to help these nations and warlords say they are for the poor, where is the change? Look at Chavez another socialist out for him self. How long? Our Republic is based on the bible and we have come up short many times we are all sinners. The only thing that will ever unite us is the love of G-d. All power comes from G-d and leaders serve for a time at His pleasure for good or bad. The bad ones always seem to get theirs in the end. G-d Bless my educated friend. Good luck on your studies and degree. Remember that the statue of Lady Justice is blindfolded and has scales to weigh the truth. The republic always refers to the Bible IE ten commands, and known G-d given rights to measure out justice. Mercy is a part of justice also which must be measured out. With out these truth as corner stones and markers there is no justice only mob rule. We are close to that today with the secular humanists and the politically correct. What is correct in the eyes of the Master. Repost

Sigh, this is some inflammatory white loathing headline nonsense. Whoever owns this site should be ashamed, I’ve seen this video on another site and it said nothing about a racially motivated attack, neither did the video interview with the victim. This is some biased nonsense and the news and media are rife with it. The one way bias towards white people and coddling of black people in the news, both print and video is out of control, and serves no purpose, it does nothing to elevate society or enhance the publics critical thinking. If you want to use silly words like racism, and hate crime that for the most part polarize intelligent thought and rev the engine of idiocy in those incapable of reason then you must at least let it swing in both directions. Of course network news is useless these days and pretty much anyone who gets their info from their TV alone already has serious problems, and it seems some internet sites are following suit.

Redneck   March 14th, 2008 - 12:26 am

OOO Boy, Somebody call Al Sharp, Heres him another story since no celebrities are yelling the N word.

Anything a white person does these days are considered racists.

I think Andy Rooney Sums this up real nice.

I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens…Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability.

It is very strange, as alot of people pointed out, that when Blacks attack whites the headlines never mention race and that it’s never labeled as “racism” or “hate crimes” . Yet when whites attack blacks, they are very quick to write just that and label it racism.

odd…

Roscoe   March 14th, 2008 - 4:33 pm

We are not getting the whole story here. Was the family member murdered by a black person? What were the reporters saying to the family? there are many things we don’t know and it is sad that automatically so called tolerant people label these family members who have just gone through a great loss as “rednecks” “racists”.

Dexter Mathorfan   March 15th, 2008 - 1:14 am

“Black TV news Crew attacked by White Family Members”.

If the races of those involved were reversed there’d be no story.

Do you understand?

In other words this is newsworthy because it’s whats called a “Man bites dog” story!

Not_a_racist   March 16th, 2008 - 3:26 am

Though none of us know the full details about what the family was going through or why “who did what,” it IS clear that Breibart is trying to enflame people in order to get ratings.

I clicked on the video because it was entitled “Racist rednecks attack black news crew while taping story.” First of all, the term “redneck” is extremely racist in and of itself. Just like it is not ok for non-blacks to use the N word, IT IS NOT OK FOR NON WHITES TO USE THE R WORD!!! period!

This term refers to a physical characteristic of white people and is used in a derogatory manner. How is that not racist?

Imagine if the title were: “Racist n****s attack white news crew while taping story.”

Way to go media, you’ve succeded yet again in helping people live together in perfect harmony…. you shmucks…

Skepticus   March 16th, 2008 - 12:29 pm

The title to this story is intentionally inflammatory. What possible purpose could that serve?

hmmmm   March 18th, 2008 - 4:31 pm

Mr. Rydecker is spot on. The people who complain about double standards are really complaining that they are not free to air their racist ideas without repercussion any more.

They do not denounce the racist behavior of the white people in this story. They merely whine that other bad behavior is allowed in their minds, and are not able to reciprocate freely without bad press.

Joseph   March 19th, 2008 - 12:15 am

Sean Rydecker — Yes, the “man-made” global warming hysteria is fake, made up by communists who had no where to go after the Soviet Union quit funding them.

All you people that think Blacks or other minorities can’t be racists should just ask some Blacks and Mexicans what they think of each other. It would surprise me if it surprises you to find that their opinions sure sound “racist”. Keep on lying to yourselves. In this day and age in the United States, a Black who hates Whites is as bad as a White who hates Blacks.

Joseph   March 19th, 2008 - 12:25 am

What I always love is when the police are looking for a violent criminal and they ask the public to be on the look-out for, say, a man, 5′11″, approx. 185 lbs., in a red hoody and sneakers, but do not say what race he is (unless he is White)!!!

walter thomas   March 19th, 2008 - 1:36 pm

blacks shouldn’t stand for such behavior. we always find excuses for letting whites get away with abuse inflicted upon us. i say we put those bibles down and start fighting back !!! yeah, i said bibles. once the white man handed us those we have been acting like we have no heart. let jesus take care of it (lol) we are the only race of people on earth still fighting for our right to be treated like men and women.. wake up !!!!!!

A guy   March 20th, 2008 - 3:57 pm

Sean Rydecker March 12th, 2008 – 2:34 pm

How can you tell if a white person is racist?

“Easy. Show them a story about a black news crew getting beat up. If they condemn the attack as they should, they’re not racist. If the fail to condemn the act, and instead complain about the story and “anti-white bias” in the “liberal” media, then there’s a good chance that they are racist. Some of these Drudge readers are clearly and openly racist. I bet these dummies think global warming is fake, too.”

Ha ha, I can’t stream video at work, so I have no comment about the incident, just the liberal jackass that posted this. So the moral is Sean that white people can’t callout obvious race baiting when it occurs and anyone who doesn’t subscribe to the Church of Man Made Catastrophic Global Warming is a dummy. This is just too funny. What a moron. I’m an engineer, I design and build many of the jet engine parts you rely on as well as those in our military aircraft. In fact, every jet you’ve ever flown in has our company’s parts. I don’t believe in Man Made Global warming AT ALL. So either realize as an engineer I probably know more about the subject then you, or fly in fear cause I’m (and all the other engineers I know) are “dummies” for not believing this crap.

Los Angeles   March 20th, 2008 - 8:43 pm

Remember Reginald Denny? Non-rioting, level-headed, ordinary but White guy driving a truck, doing his job, attacked by “blacks” rioting in Los Angeles, who nearly beat the guy to death with bricks and their feet?

Black violence on Whites has been going on for a long, long time and most of that is violent crime. Yet it’s only news (today) when two emotionally deranged (for understandable reasons, I add) White females strike a few body blows on an invasive (but Black) camera crew?

Stupid excuse for a “news” video and article. These two females appear to be newsworthy to this crew ONLY because they punched two Black people, not because they lost a family member to murder (for Heaven’s sake, take their circumstances into consideration — how many times have we seen marauding, screaming and yelling Black females (and males) on television due to some family issues or otherwise, trauma?

I’m thinking that there’s got to be more to this story than the mere fist-flinging White females. The camera crew obviously is hiding something.

Allow me to refer you to something “BlackLawStudent” copied and pasted earlier here:

PREJUDICE (defined):
(5.) damage or injury; detriment: a law that operated to the prejudice of the majority.

If you (or anyone) actually can’t stand racism and/or racial/ethnic prejudice, then don’t engage in it. Calling other human beings “crackers” in a denigrating reference to racial prejudice IS A STATEMENT OF RACISM.

And “special laws” for people based upon skin color and/or ethnicity are, themselves, an essential expression OF prejudice.

Racism/Facism   March 21st, 2008 - 5:17 am

Please. You know that reporter was running her mouth which is why her camera man had to stand between her and the other people – facing HER. Watch the reporter push the camera man in response – obviously confrontational. Right, you had to defend yourself. Clearly you ran your mouth and got your @ss beat for it. Tyrannical media outlets must be destroyed before they destroy our country.

JimmiP   March 21st, 2008 - 10:38 pm

Physically attacking anyone is wrong. It is against the law and there are punishments. Verbally abusing anyone is wrong, insulting them is wrong too, but not against the law. There are no laws against being an idiot or saying stupid or hurtful things. Calling anyone who fails to assign what you feel is the appropraite racial outrage a racist, demonstrates as racist an attitude as that displayed by those you call “rednecks” and “hicks” in the video. Displaced guilt perhaps?

KansasGirl   March 21st, 2008 - 11:48 pm

Oddly the camera man has no video of this attack…Did she say the camera man was already in the car while she was being beaten to a pulp – her face was obviously swollen and bleeding from the beating and it will take months before all those stitches can come out – but anyway if the guy is already in the car can’t he run tape? How long would it take to start the camera? 15 seconds? The beating apparently didn’t last very long. I know some redneck women who could have cleaned her clock in 15 seconds and she wouldn’t have been looking like she was a beauty pageant contestant with her make up all nice and her hair lookin good. Some thing smells a wee bit fishy about this story.

this site shows me who is reading with comprehension and who is dumb as a door knob those white people were the family of the suspect !!!!!!!!!! not the victim now can each and every last racist jerk correct their racist and ignorant comments accordingly thanks !!!!

AlaskanCracker   March 24th, 2008 - 9:25 pm

Wow, so many opinions and energy. First off, I thinkk the press is so out of line. They shold never have been set up outside those peoples house. The Family just had a major tragedy, they lost a grandfather and a son, and brother(the murderer). A picture of the house on the news would have sufficed. Yeah, the family may be racist and that is too bad, a product of our culture we have fostered. I grew up in New Mexico, I have Mexican, Black, Asian, Native American, and white friends. When I was a kid I loved hanging out at my buddy Mark Lujans house, his mom or dad always had some awesome Posole or Green Chile Stew. Mark’s dad taught me how to play the horses, took me along on family vacations to Mexico. My other buddy Troy Martinez, he was raised by a Scottish man, his birth father died when he was two. As a kid in Albuquerque, I also lived in some poorer parts of town at times. It was in those times that I experienced racial tension and agression. Getting home from school sometimes was like an obstacle course, consisting of climbing fences and hiding behind walls, to avoid the roving groups of mexican and black kids looking to put the beat down on a white boy. Sometimes I didn’t make it home without getting caught. Those kids got that way from listeing to their parents blame whitey for their problems. My “minority” Friends on the other hand had Parents who didn’t poison their kids with that crap, they taught them to work hard, accept resposibility for their actions, treat everyone with the respect that they expect to get in return. And I respect their Parents and love them, they rose above the hate and racism from their youth. When they were young, and a White person came to the door at dinner, the Tortillas and Beans were stashed in the oven. Why, because white people made fun of thier food, called them Beaners. Then went home to thier mayo and baloney sandwich. Now, there’s a Taco Bell in almost every country in the world. Racism comes mainly from poverty, and bitterness of past generations being pushed on the next generation. Acceptance is the key, accept people for who they are, respect their cultural differences. Their is always a common ground, like being an American.

DMAC   March 26th, 2008 - 12:03 am

I’m from this area and saw this run over and over on the local news before it went national. The black TV crew was on the sidewalk across the street from the crime scene house. The incidident was actually filmed by a white news crew on the street from another station. The three attackers actually had to pass the by the white crew to get to the black crew. While I agree with the argument that the headline was biased, it truly is correct, those three epitomize the term “redneck”.

William Washington   March 27th, 2008 - 1:37 am

What is the “N” word?
What is a “racist”
How come calling someone a racist REDNECK is OK but use the N word is the utmost crime. Give me a break

Negotiate   March 27th, 2008 - 6:08 pm

Here’s the video of the attack.
http://www.wyff4.com/news/15573951/detail.html
Here’s some facts about the incident. These are NOT my opinion..they are the facts.
1. The reporter was on a public sidewalk.
2. The attackers were yelling the “N” word and other racial slurs before they attacked.
3. The reporter told them she was on public property.
4. The reporter was attacked with no provocation at all.

Facts also:
1. Calling a black person the “N” word usually supports the fact that you are racist.
2. Attacking someone, unprovoked, usually supports the fact that you have some anger management issues.
3. Acting the way these attackers did will buy you some time in jail.
4. Regardless of what color you are, attacking someone, using racial slurs and acting like a total idiot only shows your true ignorance.

I was born and raised in Mississippi. After living there for over 30 years I moved north. I admit before leaving there, I used to use the “N” word and was prejudice against black people. HOWEVER, after being out of the “hate all blacks” environment for over 15 years, I no longer have those prejudiced views. I believe this world has enough hate in it without hating someone because of their skin color. Love should not see color. We all bleed red.
Just as I believe whites should “get over” the whole race thing…I believe the same about blacks. Black people should let go of the idea that their race should be compensated for what whites did to them generations ago. Many blacks still pull the race card.
However, this has been going on for generations and isn’t likely to change any time soon. There have been changes and it is slowly getting better. I hope my grandchildren can enjoy a society that is much more loving and kind …..I can hope.
Not everyone will agree with me and that’s okay. I won’t argue with them for their opinions…and certainly wouldn’t attack them because I feel they are less than I am. God’s peace to each of you that have hatred for someone because their race is different than yours. HE will be our ultimate judge.

ctown   March 27th, 2008 - 9:28 pm

What a double standard? When black ministers say white people injected AIDS and drugs to drag down the black race, then its okay cause history affords them racism. When white people attack a black reporter for nosing around where they knew tensions were high, well, they must be racist, hayseed, rednecks affiliated with David Duke.

Black people, if you keep voting and believing the same way, NOTHING WILL CHANGE!!! Take responsibility and quit blaming and whining and looking for reasons to drop the race card. It’s hurting your cause.

HistoryMan   March 28th, 2008 - 2:38 pm

What? Racism in South Carolina? That’s impossible!

The only thing less surprising than the racism was the hack nature of the story covering it. We learned nothing about what happened other than “Some racist rednecks attacked a black news crew.” There’s GOT to be more to it than just the headline.

Teresa   March 28th, 2008 - 7:40 pm

NoGuff   April 5th, 2008 - 12:36 am

I seriously doubt this was a racially motivated attack. Yes, they may have yelled racial slurs at the reporter, but I think it was more a case of reporter-hatred than it was racial-hatred.

These reporters (vultures) come into neighborhoods and report ENDLESSLY from the ‘crime scenes.’ They’ll do their “live standups” from the scene for each and every edition of the newscast, from the early morning until about 1:00am or later. They never leave.

And the victims of these crimes are supposed to feel what? We’ve all seen times when the reporters disparage victims with weird descriptions and inaccurate reporting. If someone was doing that to me I’d lose my cool also.

I just think the racial aspect of this was just the spoken part. The people saw it was a Black reporter and decided to shout racial epithets. If it was a White reporter, he/she would have been attacked, too.

genay   April 5th, 2008 - 7:50 pm

The videotape doesn’t show anything useful and makes the reporter look like she wasn’t being calm or respectful since her own crew member was having to turn her around and push her away from the scene. She appeared to me to be standing too close to the victim’s families than would be prudent.

As I stand her looking down at the events on Earth, I noticed that there are several black teenagers in the background of this so-called “racist” attack. I am sure that the whites
living there would not live next door to blacks if they were indeed racists. If you doubt my observations, look over the tops of the trash bins just a few seconds into the tape.. 2 or 3 black amles are standing by.. wearing sun glasses
and looking on.. Obviously the reported incident of the whites using the “N” word are bogus, as the young black males are not upset. Once again.. more media bias when it comes to interracial conflict.

I’ve got 10 bucks says they were on private property reporting. The reporters have little respect for where they are filming.

they filmed once on my front lawn in front of my house i came out when it was a live feed. Told them to get the h#ll off my front yard and they argued they had a right to be there.

Ironically my house and front lawn nor I had anything to do with their story.

So why they were there I don’t know, called the Michigan State Police that got rid of them.
