In the instance of the 6 guys beating up the one guy. It is racism if the first thing to come out of your mouth when someone is harassing your girlfriend is "Hey you Ni****" etc... I can eloquently say millions of different statements that will effectively grab someones attention without bringing in their race. So in that instance yeah... they were wrong, but the guy that remarked was also. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Bah, that's the kind of thinking that gets people excused--like what just happened in this report. Speech is speech, and no excuse for any sort of physical violence. Anyone who feels the need to assault someone because they shot a single calous and ignorant phrase at them is weak and pathetic.

According to this, I would have been legally and morally correct in assaulting countless people on a daily basis for three years. While I have no respect what-so-ever for racists, I have no such sympathies with people too weak of a mind, will, or character to maturly, intellectually, or responsibly deal with them.

Next time I go back to Washington DC, I'll make sure I beat the next black or hispanic into submission that calls me, "Cracker, Whitey, Honkey, Vanilla, Dragon" or anything I find ethnically suggestive and offensive. We'll see how much sympathy I get.

The one thing I can be so greatful for though, is that the US is getting tired of the race-card, and has been so acclimated to racial issues that people arn't buying the BS anymore.
