. I had heard about this three times before I saw the video - race is never mentioned. When I saw the video it appears to be a group of black people, including black kids attacking a white male referee. One black kid, that would be 13 or 14, hits the Ref and then celebrates. Why is there absolutely zero speculation that race was a factor? They have taken down the Video, but pictures at a left near the Top: http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20110831/ARTICLE/110839898/2416/NEWS?Title=Youth-football-player-tackles-referee-leading-to-brawl .

The video is up. I'm a little hesitant to put a color on the problem. The coach went after the ref he was arguing a call with, evidently one that had quite a few upset. Other than the ref being white, while the coach and team members attacking him were AA, I didn't see any other fights that would result from color. There were quite a few white coaches and players there. Knowing how upset I have been with ref's before, the only color I noticed then was their uniforms! That said, it would not surprise me if "hate crime" charges were filed if the colors were different in this situation ...which indicates a problem with how "equal" falls out of the equation often when laws are enacted and enforced. |

Race-related or not, what a saaaaaaad statement. And then the guys in the medium blue shirts who were mixing it up with the refs come over at the end and want to shake everyone's hands like "sportsmanship" can be something you just put on a show with every once in awhile and call it good. Too bad there ain't no shame in this society no more. |

Well when you have the top U.S. law enforcement man in the U.S. say he will not prosecute Black on White crime, I think you have to at least consider the race card. For all practical purposes Holders' statement puts a target on the backs of white U.S. citizens. With flash mobs attacking whites at random in Philadelphia and mobs of blacks attacking whites leaving a carnival in Wisconsin, what's next? |
