You won't hear from them--but had the bus driver got involved, they'd be camped out in his front yard callin for his head on a pike for violating these young lads' right to express their cultural diversity to the beat up kid...Where is Al,Jesse Now

"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." Booker T.

If Obama wants to be remembered in history as a leader he should weigh in on this instead of criticizing police officers for questioning the black professor who was trying to break into his own house or making a martyr out of the Johnson thug.
All this PC stuff has me second guessing myself. Other day I had to stay at a motel and the lady behind the counter was an Indian. (kind with the dot on her forehead) When I saw her I wasn't the least bit surprised. In fact, I half expected it and this got me to thinking that maybe I had unjustly profiled the lady. Profiling as we know is a terrible thing and has no place in our politically correct society. But then again, I am torn because there is another side of me that thinks when it looks like a horse but has black stripes then its probably a zebra and as I have learned zebras are prone to kick and bite you if you turn your back. It could be argued that this is knowledge learned from experience but then again it could be said that it is unjust profiling. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I owe this woman an apology for profiling her and maybe this is a fine specimen of a Tennessee Walking Horse that just happens to have an odd coloration and like to bite.
I don't know. I guess I'm just confused and do so wish one of these experts on political correctness would step in this pen and show me the light.

After reading the article, I honestly don't think it had anything to do with race. Here's why:
Police say the three youths, all African-American, attacked the boy after he told officials at their dropout prevention school that one of them had tried to sell him marijuana.
He snitched on them. That's why they beat him up. If he would have been black or latino or whatever, I think they would've done the same thing.
My response would have been, "I'll pronounce it however you'd like, DEEbra."greybeard":102vb8g1 said:I was haughtily informed one time by some socialite of no small standing (or physical width and stature), that the animal in that picture is a Zebra--like Debra--not a ZEEbra.
