So Proud To Be A Baltimoron This just left me speechless: [url=http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/09/us/maryland-beating/index.html?iref=obnetwork]Onlookers jeer as man is beaten, stripped and robbed in Baltimore - CNN.com[/url] Watch the video. Pretty despicable. I hope they catch them all and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. One question, though, how would this be covered if all the African-Americans in this video were white and the sole white person (the victim) was black? |

The double standard is so ridiculous. And I'm moving this to the debating with the enemy forum, because that's the direction this thread will quickly go. |
re: So Proud To Be A Baltimoron I never even heard about this before you mentioned it. But (and I'm only answering this because you asked, it's not my intent to start racial discussions) if the guy beaten/stripped/robbed had been black and the criminals white, no doubt it'd probably be a national story by now, and Jesse Jackson would probably be booking his plane ticket to Baltimore. EDIT: Scud is on point, both on moving this to the proper forum and in regards to the story. |
re: So Proud To Be A Baltimoron Shame. This and the situation in Tulsa are just ugly |
re: So Proud To Be A Baltimoron It's things like these that really make me wonder about humanity and contemplate just how close to barbarians we are. In Tulsa, white guys go on a vengeful killing spree targeting folks just b/c of the skin color. In Baltimore, we have a complete breakdown of civilized behaviour that is proudly displayed by its participants. The level of "You just dont' get it" is both mind boggling and dispiriting. I know good and evil exist and it is our lot. It's just depressing sometimes. (And, yes, 12th, I am talking just to hear myself talk). |
re: So Proud To Be A Baltimoron My buddy lives in Canton and we go out on occasions. Even in Canton never do I walk alone in B-more. If the east coast has a arm pit it is Baltimore. It is such a low class shit hole, honestly. |
re: So Proud To Be A Baltimoron Agreed. The double-standard is sickening and inexcusable. Anyone remember this being national news?

re: So Proud To Be A Baltimoron OK, since the Black Panthers have uniforms for riots...here's ours: [IMG]http://www.liquideggproduct.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/fightingwhites.png[/IMG] |

re: So Proud To Be A Baltimoron Good article. Quite frankly, I am almost regret asking the question I stated in the original post. Race has been in the news so much lately and not in a good way. I swear, I wish we could just somehow get past it as a nation. |

Good insight by the author. |

It is the complete lack of humanity in some people that just makes me sick. |
