I often agree with Rev. Sharpton, but to call 6 guys beating up one white guy a "fight",, that's horse shit.

Furthermore, it plays into that old myth that one black guy is ok, but if there are two or more, then they like to cause trouble and act like "Niggers". I've heard that all my life. I was in the service in the early 50,s, and white guys actually believed that. Now, what I saw was just the opposite. It was the white guys who went looking for trouble and getting thrown into jail. We had 4 or 5 blacks in our ship and they didn't even socialize with each other.I never saw them walking the streets looking for trouble.

My point is, it's this sort of thing that keeps that myth alive, and believe me, this is not the end of this. Those white boys will get even, and where does it end? The KKK is still alive and just waiting for an excuse to come out from under their rock.

I don't give a damn who you are, what your history is, whether or not you have been insulted, no one has the right to throw the first punch.

Finally, those idiots who hung the nooses need some lessons in rising above redneck stupidity.
