Sam, I take it that you went to AND graduated from a college that you believe makes you a much more superior person than the '95 local grad. Oh, the irony
Oh look, the nypd has a special task force dedicated to social media and "yoots." http://gizmodo.com/5829640/the-nypd-has-hacked-together-an-social-media-taskforce
That would be a tad difficult to do from African Americans considering their ancestors were robbed of the human right to tell their children who they truly were
Yes, I would... that is, if I harbored a deep-seated distrust and cultural aversion to white people such that I would be motivated to push a narrative that vilified them and thereby, validated my ignorant beliefs. That was a mouthful... Anyway, that is clearly not the case. I don't need to make a thread for white on black violence or vice versa and in doing so, present it as a widespread problem--it's not. These acts are relatively isolated incidents and have little to no bearing on either demographic as a whole. Racial strife is not a new or exceptional phenomenon, and history gives us plenty of information to help us understand why these horrible things happen. To act like this supposed uprising of black youths is particularly newsworthy is disingenuous and only serves as a barefaced attempt to magnify the sins of the "other side" while trying to play the victim.
ive never been on stormfront myself, although i believe it is some kind of white supremacist site - samuel seems quite familiar w/ it so maybe he can enlighten us.
Maybe I've been overestimating you. The claim is racially motivated and organized ahead of time. The social media would have to read something like "Hey guys let's go beat up some white people. We'll all meet at South Street Seaport and find some whites down there that we can beat up.." That kind of thing hasn't been in any of these stories.
fact is that saying the media doesn't like to report on black crimes against whites is a stupid as claim fueled by political correctness paranoia

Slideshow: Images From Teen Attack Video The incident happened on the afternoon of July 29th near 4th and Spruce Streets, and just blocks from the location of the Mastery Charter High School. That was the same day that saw violent attacks near Chestnut Street in Center City that injured two other bystanders. The incident on the tape obtained by Fox 29 was acknowledged in a letter from Mastery to neighbors in Old City. In the letter, Mastery said the students would face expulsion or suspension. Mastery also said in the letter it would meet with neighbors concerned about student behavior. Police public affairs told Fox 29 no one has yet been charged in the incident. The video shows a normally calm scene just after 1:45 p.m. on Friday, July 29th, and just blocks from Independence Hall. A man is walking down 4th Street near Independence Hall toward Spruce Street as a group of teens starts to walk by. The man is wearing hospital scrubs. As the students walk next to the man, one teen turns around, without warning, and punches the man in the head. Six to eight students then swarm the man as he is pushed into a wall, kicking and punching him. The entire group runs away, and a second camera catches them running away from the attack around a corner at 4th and Walnut Streets. Another bystander runs over to check on the man, who gets back on his feet. Sources tell Fox 29 that man was taken to Jefferson University Hospital with injuries to his head and teeth. Fox 29 spoke with Mastery CEO Scott Gordon, who said he was very upset by the incident. "It makes me sick. We're very very upset about it, that any student, but particularly a student that's been in a Mastery school, would behave like that, to think that that's okay, is very disturbing," he said. Mastery's parent company received $1 million from Winfrey last September as part of her Angel Network. Mastery Charter Schools are also part of Philadelphia school district's Renaissance Schools initiative as a "turnaround team" school group that partners with other schools. The Renaissance Schools program has been championed by superintendent Dr. Arlene Ackerman. On Monday, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter announced new measures to combat teen violence after another mob of teens attacked two bystanders on July 29th in Center City. Spoiler In that incident, teens used social media networks to meet on a Friday night in an area heavily used by tourists and visitors.
Apparently you have a problem understanding what pre-meditation and racially motivated means especially when used together. Using social media is no different than using a phone. Yes, people might use social media to suggest meet ups. But to be pre-meditated racially motivated the messages would have had to have said something like "Let's meet up and beat up some white folks today."
basso's post translated: Do you see how out of control and dangerous these black gangs have become? Obama is black, too.
disturbing image of blacks using digital networking techonology to enact murderous violence - maybe NSFW: Spoiler
If basso is right, which he isn't, maybe we should worry about the black soldiers serving in our armed forces as well.
