So Proud To Be A Baltimoron
This just left me speechless:
Onlookers jeer as man is beaten, stripped and robbed in Baltimore - CNN.com 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?

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
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? Murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And The Brutal Murders of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian-Truth! |

Violence and race: a two-way street - CNN.com
Kind of a good read though I generally dislike this author.

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.

So true, I could careless about their color victims or attackers. It is the complete lack of humanity in some people that just makes me sick.
