Just asking NB why the victim wouldn't be black.

Personally it doesn't matter to me, I just find it weird that some folks here thinks it matters.

From my experience there is usually a reason why the local media do or do not comment on such things.

And there are plenty of cases where it does seem to matter, the most obvious being Hispanic/Black that we can not discuss.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

It's a sad statement of where we are as a society when someone can be beaten to death in front of a crowd of people and no one helps.

If the guy had a poodle to protect him, none of this would have happened. We'd be talking about yet another life saved by man's best friend, the poodle.

It can be discussed, as long as folks keep it respectful. That's the hard part for some.

I was thinking of media reporting.

The media can do it, as long as you have level headed people heading the conversation. Once you start saying stupid stuff like rap music/white devils, it's straight downhill from there.

For example the Denver Post is famous on not commenting on Hispanic Immigration Status when covering DUI Death type incidents unless they are here legally.

So no comment and you know the deal.

Why wouldn't the victim be black?

Because there seems to be a pattern of Black men picking out white people to randomly attack as of late in this country. I doubt he would have attacked him if he had been black. Of course that is just my personal opinion

This reminds me of a beating that happened in my area recently. I just can't understand how someone can beat someone so badly. This one was caught on video:

Considering the scores of black men being killed in Chicago by other black men, white people being killed by one are less likely to happen.

That man is lucky to be alive. Were those gunshots in the background?
