It is a racist comment.
Most species engage in "tribal chest beating" when they are grouped together, from your trailer park good old boys, to your frat brothers, to any others you care to name, birds, cats, deer. Have you ever watched animal behavior? We are no different than many other species, in that regard.

I am not surprised by this at all. The statistics are there on rape and blacks engage in it far more than any other race in America. It's a fact. All of you that deny the numbers are lying to yourselves. It's in the "music", the "culture" and when something happens, the wagons are circled and the "he jes a good boy" bull$^&! comes out with the wringing of hands about how its the system and whiteys 400 years of oppression that made these poor mistaken youths to engage in subhuman behavior.
A break must occur, and I for one am looking forward to it. I am sure you will call me a racist and I don't care. I am sure the the numbers and everything else will be blamed except the behavior of the degenerate animals that should have been swinging in town center the same night.

I agree. According this NYT article:
Residents in the neighborhood where the abandoned trailer stands — known as the Quarters — said the victim had been visiting various friends there for months. They said she dressed older than her age, wearing makeup and fashions more appropriate to a woman in her 20s. She would hang out with teenage boys at a playground, some said.
And that could be one of the reasons
The girl has been removed from the custody of her parents.

"They" who can go down where together? The accused?

ok maybe your right, we had the duke lacrosse team, BUT from what we get from the media, for every 1 story we hear about white people involved, we hear more involving minorities. how do we explain that in a way that does not cause racial tension?

You are fairly correct. The media shape our perceptions by how they report. Even though it's a "fact" that the accused are all black, which the media then report, it results in even greater racial tensions because we feed on these things, these differences, this unconscious racism. Why are we conditioned to fear the black man? Why do the media always cover the minorities, it's always an "african american male" who attacks (even if it's a fabricated story)? I don't exactly like the guy, but Michael Moore addressed this in Bowling for Columbine, and our culture of fear.
I think it says a lot about our society than anything else, and the media's complicity in reinforcing stereotypes.
How do we properly address the issues, indeed...

I assume you are referring to the Knoxville Massacre. No hate crime there for butchering and raping BOTH of the white victims by 6 black "youths".

So would it be a fair statement to say, no matter what I do in life I will just be another 40 ounce drinking, watermellon cutting, fried chicken eating 'n-word' to you, huh? Because the "NUMBERS" say so. Thats sad. Be that as it may, we are all human reguardless of our skin color. There are bad apples in every barrel, and there are good ones to boot. Be safe brother.
