Black Mob Lynches White Man?

Question

In October 1999, a white man named Troy Knapp was attacked by a mob of black men wielding pipes and trash cans, while riding his bike with a companion in Charleston, SC. Knapp was beaten so severely that part of his skull and brain had to be removed, leaving him barely functional.

Witnesses told Knapp's family that after white police officers arrested a black suspect in connection with the shootings, someone in a group of people was heard saying: "Yeah, we are going to get us a white boy." Seventeen suspects were arrested and charged with second-degree lynching. However, local prosecutor David Schwacke commented, "We haven't been able to establish hate as a motive."

According to a Fox News report, Schwacke, "acknowledged that if it had been 17 white suspects and two black victims, hate would more likely be considered a motive." The report went on to note that, "Federal hate-crime law could apply in this case, but seven months after the incident the U.S. attorney's office in South Carolina is not even considering charges."



Many incidents that are virtually ideantical to this have occured across the country. It is time to end the discrimination. If we are all equal, then we should all be treated equally. You can see that Hate crimes against whites are not being filed as such. As the article mentioned, if it were a white on black crime, hate would have been considered as a motive. And 9 and a half chances out of 10 the courts would have said hate was the motive. We need to stand up against this discrimination against white Americans.
