Hate Crime : it's a Knockout.

Reading this thread I would be led to the conclusion that a black guy was racist because he crossed the street in Jackson, MS in 1964 to avoid a few white men he didn't know and had never seen - even if what led him to take this action was a fear the white guys would attack him because of his race. His action would be just as irrational as the white guy in Philly who crosses the street today to get away from the black teens out of fear he's going to get sucker punched because of his race.

Neither is a per se "racist" act. Racism is the belief races have distinctive characteristics that lead one race to be superior to another. If you are afraid a group of people doesn't like your race and may hurt you because of it, that doesn't make you a racist. You are likely an irrational tool, but it doesn't make you racist for craps sake.

That's one the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard In 1964 MS, black people were still strung up and put in jail for no reason. Comparing to white people today is insane.

Common sense is common sense, if common sense is to cross the street then its common sense.

I def think this whole "knockout" game is overplayed.
 
I wish DeacMan would go back into hibernation. A mix of an insufferable know-it-all and wrong all the time.

I need some context here. What other ridiculous statements did you hear in 1964 in Mississippi?
 
I am just realizing I was probably a victim of this. At Rock the Block in Winston in 2009 (I believe) I was randomly punched in the back of the head by a teen-age kid for no reason at all. This is as good of an explanation as any I've come up with.
 
Hell back in the 70s this happened to Dougie twice. Once happened at College Beverage. He was sitting in his car, smoking a cigarette. A guy came out of the store, put his bag on Dougie's car. He punched Dougie in the face, picked up his bag and walked away.

Another night Dougie was minding his own business at Shakey's. A guy asked him to hold his beers. Then he punched Dougie, grabbed the beers and walked away.

God dammit, Dougie got GOT.
 
Haha. Dude looked like a little bitch. The guy in grey showed restraint after that kick.
 
Here's a documented example of a white on black knockout game incident, and the DOJ is jumping in with federal hate crime charges.

Read the article before playing the victim card, LK.

"Barrett filmed the attack on his cellphone, prosecutors said. And in other videos on his phone, he used a derogatory word describing black people and suggested he “found the perfect African American suspect” to go after, according to the federal criminal complaint."
 
Who played the victim card? I have zero issue with this guy being charged with a hate crime.
