Drudge leads with a story re: Black kids beating up a white kid, be prepared for the fallout
This should never happen and there needs to be ZERO tolerance, however the fallout from this will be so far from inappropriate.
This will be used by the right to call out Obama and to further the agendas of so many folks who want their to be division in this country.

2. And what's really amazing is no white kids beat up any other white kids yesterday, too
Wake me up when the Civil War is over.

10. can't have a double standard if this video was reversed white kids beating the hell out of a black kid who just wanted to sit down, DU would be in an uproar over how racist it is but since it's a white kid getting beat up it's no big deal I guess? yes kids of every color get in fights but don't confuse that with this and don't downplay it when you know you wouldn't if the races were reversed.
After which the truemud primitive, who doesn't know shit about sports, posts a photograph of a 100+-year-old lynching.

4. I agree. And this is why saying it's JUST Racism is counter productive.
It's about bigotry and uneducated people being manipulated through fear and division.
When the Left insists on casting the Far Right's protests as nothing BUT racism, political discourse has nowheres to go but further down into a death spiral.

25. Except once again you distort the argument. NO ONE ever said it was JUST racism.

12. The question that conservatives probably would want answered is:
Can a black person be punished under hate crime laws if their specific crime against a white person appears to be racially motivated?

13. Don't worry - plenty of DUers will ask that as well...
It'll be funny to see them *not* "wait until all the facts are in" or "give them the benefit of the doubt", etc.

14. They should be.
But will they? If they can prove a racial motivation in this case then yes the little punks should be charged with a hate crime.
No double standards for anybody!

19. No, because only white people can be racists.

15. What does this have to do with Obama?

16. They should be charged with a hate crime.
If they can prove a racial motivation for the attack then add a hate crime charge to the proceedings.
I agree with the zero tolerance approach. No double standards for anybody!

20. Doesn't sound like a race crime
But it does sound like some of those kids are pretty dumb.

22. Notice that Black people are losing their minds?
And forgetting their place? Ever since Obama became President?
Serena.
Kanye.
Now this.
We need to return the country to what it was. When people knew the natural order of things.
This, my friends, is the subtext for a lot of the handwringing over these latest media events.
Obama is a racist.
Get ready for more of it.

23. I fail to see what a fight on a school bus in Belleville, IL no matter how wrong, brutal or unwarranted it was, has to do with the President.
And Drudge has been drudging up stories like this since the primaries, I find it best to ignore them. The more weight we give his opinions(or fantasy), the more important they become.
Bottom line - this has NOTHING to do with the president. I'm not going to get myself in a lather because assholes have been predicting race riots since sometime back in 2007.
I'm also not going to stop calling certain statements and actions racist no matter how many times several DU'ers insist upon it.

Things are coming home to roost at the DUmp..a purge is in order to get everyone back on the same page.
Only white conservatives are racist and no other view will be tolerated.

You're probably right about that, even some of the 1000+ post drones have been bringing in pollen from the wrong plants lately, I'm sure $kammer doesn't want to risk CCD in his hive.

If he tombstones some of the heavier-donating ones, he will.

SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you not watch the frikkin' video? Ya wanna know why the black kid did not want to let him sit next to him? Are you that ****in' STUPID???????

They watched it - they understand what happened. They are simply denying it happened at all. Like Mike Barnicle reporting the ten thousand protesters on 9/12. If it doesn't fit the liberal worldview, it doesn't exist. EOM.
