I am so sick of hearing that this is only because the guys who beat the white boy up are black. If people wouldn't make such a big deal about it all, it wouldn't have escaladed to this point..don't believe everything you hear in the media...but anyhow...
So, as a resident of Louisiana, this S*it is everywhere. For most of you from up North, you wouldn't understand the racism down here.
Kids fight. End of story.
Is hanging nooses right? By all means, no. Are fights right? By all means, no. But what many of you don't understand is that seems to be the way it is down here. I, however, seem to be "used" to hearing stuff like that since it's been around all of my life. Kids (especially in high school) will racially taunt one another. It happens. It doesn't mean, because you are called the "n" word, that you should go start beating the hell out of folks. I grew up in a pretty much mixed high school with a graduating class well in the 300's with about 900 kids total in the school. You hear stuff like that. Most people just blow it off. People call others names. Is it right? No. But they're kids.
If the shoe was on the other foot, though, it would be all over the place as far as the news. If a group of white guys beat up a black guy, it would surely be considered racism also.
Sadly, racism exists and it's still pretty strong down south, especially here in Louisiana. I, by no means, am racist. Alot of my friends in high school were black. I heard from them and from the white kids at school all about the name calling, but of course, it always goes both ways. Blacks talk about whites, whites talk about blacks. It's just skin color, people! Some people are so shallow as to only see the skin color of a person.
Do I think a few kids who got in a fight at school over something so stupid (name calling) should spend 22 years in prison? NO WAY! It just goes to show how screwed up the system is.
Best of luck to those guys and I hope they don't have to spend 25% of their lives behind bars over a stupid fight that happened between immature students in high school. :( Maybe jail for a short amount of time to make them learn that beating someone to hospitilization because they called you a name, doesn't mean that you get off the hook so easily, in my opinion.

I am planning on wearing all black - down to my undergarments!
If I can finagle a way to go, I'm totally there.
And in response to the Bean Counter, that's the most ridiculous thing I've EVER heard. The rest of the world could have turned their heads during WWII when Hitler was killing all the innocent Jewish people and said, "It's not our fight"...but they didn't - DID THEY?! And just what do you think would have happened had he been able to carry on? Thank GOD someone stood up for what was right. And that's all we're trying to accomplish here.
