Have you noticed that these types of crimes are typically perpetrated by teenagers or young adults? I think it has more to do with their age and the lack of maturity, plus the raging hormones that seems to disregard all rationale. And I'm not talking just about white young adults, but young adults of all races. They're the most likely to do stupid things.

im not mad, i just think you should think about your thread titles more carefully.
How so???
That is a direct quote from the video in the OP
Troll:
One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevence to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.

That sucks, but if it were to happen to a white guy...same thing, except it wouldn't be such a big deal.
When does this sort of thing happen to a "White Guy"
Then around the closing time of 11 p.m., witnesses told the Journal Sentinel, dozens to hundreds of black youths attacked white people as they left the fair, punching and kicking people and shaking and pounding on their vehicles.
MacBride says the teens surrounded his house, picking up rocks and throwing them at him. That's when he says in his eyes, the mob stopped being a bunch of kids and became a big threat. He says the teens were reaching for his door handle when the the sight of his Soviet rifle had an instant reaction.
It came after a family night of celebrating America and freedom with a fireworks show at Firestone Stadium. Marshall, his family and two friends were gathered outside a friend's home in South Akron.
Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family.
The Marshalls, who are white, say the crowd of teens who attacked them and two friends June 27 on Girard Street numbered close to 50. The teens were all black.
Marshall was the most seriously injured. He suffered a concussion and multiple bruises to his head and eye. He said he spent five nights in the critical care unit at Akron General Medical Center.
The grainy images show Morat, who was using a walker, trying to leave her apartment building when a man attacked her and hit her in the face. Morat suffered a fractured cheekbone and bruises. Her assailant got away with $33 and her house keys.
The attack occurred about 8:40 p.m. Nov. 27 after a black male stepped onto the trolley, made eye contact with a white man and then made "racially motivated, derogatory" remarks, according to San Diego police.
He later told police he had left the Brooklyn housing project where he lived and took the subway to Manhattan's East Village, where he looked for "happy" white people to avenge the mistreatment of black people.
He shot and wounded three people, including a police officer, and sprayed kerosene on several customers and threatened to set them on fire.

I hate that the crime happened. I would hate it no matter what the demographic make up of the participants.

The government made it about race when they passed "hate crimes" laws. They insured that men would be punished for thoughts and not just actions.
