Reporters Attacked in South Carolina

The below blog items were taken from several Breit-TV critics. I have posted both sides of the argument.

". . . I actually am in the media business…a part of the liberal media, no less. But that doesn’t mean I can’t see this for what it is. The reporter was doing her job, and certainly didn’t deserve to be beaten up. And I’m guessing that the three women who beat her aren’t necessarily the classiest bunch. But come on, why must everything be a hate crime?

Actually, I hate the concept of hate crime. It should be illegal for me to beat you up, no matter what color you and I am. If you add hate crime legislation, you’re saying that you beating up a black guy is worse than you beating up a white guy. Nope. In either offense, you are in the wrong, and the penalty should be the same, no matter what your motivation."

". . . I am from the part of SC this new anchor was reporting. The crime was the grandson who killed his grandfather! Ms Brown along with another white reporter was reporting the murder on Public property. The women ran across the street and bypassed the white reporter and began beating Ms. Brown she never had a chance to defend herself! This is the home of Susan Smith! How sickening this should happen and to believe some in this country feel we are ready for a Black President! What a Joke…and joke 2..They should have been charged with lynching, but they have assault and battery charges! They should have been kicking the grandson’s A%%! Hope they don’t get to go to the funeral…This is clearly a family that is dysfunctional!"

". . . BREITBART is censuring un-PC posts, so I’m re-posting again:

Breitbart - where’s the “5 BLACKS Beat White Couple On Bus In Unprovoked Attack” headline? http://www.wbaltv.com/news/15572148/detail.html

Breitbart - where’s the “BLACK Gang-banger Suspect In White UNC Student Slaying” headline?http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,337050,00.html

Breitbart - where’s the “BLACK Psycho Kills And White Auburn University Student” headline?http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2008Mar09/0,4670,StudentPresidentKilled,00.html

Breitbart - where’s the “3 BLACKS Beat And Rob Elderly White Male” headline?http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,336093,00.html

If anyone really doubts that the VAST MAJORITY of violent crime in this country is committed by BLACKS, then you need to need to read the Department of Justice uniform crime statistics. If you dopes in the media never bother to report the main SOURCE of violent crime, do you ever really expect to have a SOLUTION to violent crime?"

". . . Blacks have been getting a free ride in this country long enough. The blacks in this video provoke a grieving white family and then act all self-righteous when they lash out at them??
Forget it, you whining, annoying blacks are not getting anymore sympathy from us. If you want to be treated equally, you can’t have special laws that give you blacks extra rights and priviliges.Why can’t you blacks perform on a level playing field? Why do you have to have laws to give you extra rights and privileges?

I hope they fire the black crew and send them back to the streets where they are from."

". . . Let me give you a hint people. When babies are born into this world the only sin they have is original sin and that is erased at Baptism. The programing is up to parents, churches and schools. The child developes opinions from what it sees and learns.Is is possible that years of racism have left older blacks bitter and let that come out to their children and grand children while the 60’s love generation of whites tried to build a bridge and many programes to enable blacks to achieve equality? White youths today are sick of recriminations and the haveful attitude of underachievers. The tolerance level for unjustified name calling and playing the old race card will not work anymore. The blame of passed wrongdoing placed on the nexted generation to cause a feeling of guild to get what you want will not work any more. The black race themselves as have all races had periods of grevious attrocities commitied such as Dufar. I suggest we all look in the mirror for the problem.The tv crew showed bad judgement and stired this up while it is no excuse for the attack I can understand how it happened."

". . . this is all out of context already, the lady that was attacked is a reporter, not a young African American associated with gangs, and the white folks…funny fact they live in a trailer, why should anybody be so shocked that they are racist, they are a freaking cliche, geit it ? they are white…live in a trailer… can’t act like a normal person and respond or not to questions, have to yell some racial slurs, why is this shocking? it was just and incident between white ignorants , and a reporter that happened to be african american, that’s it. Racism is bad, but everyone insist to feed into it, this is a sad place…..and it won’t change, unless we all change. There’s good and bad people everywhere , get over it, nobody is better than anybody just cause of their skin color, this is stupid."

". . . Wow ..this sure got the race discussion going. Here is my take on this headline and some of the comments here. Everything I say is a fact and will make everyone on both sides mad.

1. The headline is puke-inducing reflection of typical liberal media which is always using unusual events to push a perception of the norm which is exact opposite of reality. The fact remains that black on white crime is vastly more prevalent then white on black crime. The media will not report this because as liberals they feel the ignorant white redneck public out there can’t handle it. This shows what idiots they are. Everyone knows the reality. Even black people know it. Liberals know it too..its just a game they play.

2. My ancestors were slave traders in south Louisianna. I do not feel one ounce of guilt for it. I had nothing to do with it. Anyone who says I should feel any guilt about this is a bigot. To identify a person with the cultural inadequicies of his ancestors is bigotry for which you should be ashamed. Shame on you! Get over your hate..praying might help.

3. I can’t decide which makes me sicker…whining black people or whining white people. They both do…but actually I think its whining white people that make me sicker. All other circumstances being equal, black people are definitely more disadvantaged then white people in this society. I’m not for or against affirmative action; i really couldn’t care less. I’m a white person and can deal with it if a black man gets a job before me because he’s black. I’ll just go get another job. But one thing I will not do is whine and cry like a bably and act as if this is the norm in society. The norm is that most people get jobs because of who they KNOW. This is a fact. It is also a fact that most people in a position to hire people are white people who know mostly only white people..hence white people get hired. There is no doubt that racism exists when it comes to hiring people..i’ve seen it. I’m sure that black employers are just a racist as white employers…the difference is that white employers are over-represented when it comes to being a person in a position to hire. So its ok with me if the government tries to rectify this disparity that black people in general suffer from.

4. A higher percentage of black people are criminals then are white poeple (or asians and hispanics). There is a reason for this…and its NOT an ‘institutionally racist society” as so many of the black race-baiters like to say. There are several proofs that these people are ignorant demagogues. One is that when racist really was the number one factor holding blacks back in this country…black crime was much less then it is nowadays. Also, many studies have been done in which the prison population was surveyed and only men who had fathers were counted. Every study has shown that of the prisoners with fathers….the whites population is more represented then the blacks! Thats right. A black boy with a father in the home is less likely to go to prison then a white boy with a father in the home. The liberal media can’t focus too much on this though…because it destroys two of their most cherished fantasies: A. That racism is the number one problem facing blacks, and B. That stable marriages are critically important to society."

“For what its worth, actually the crime was not racial — white guy murders his grandfather.
The attack on the reporter was racially motivated. (I write that as a conservative white guy.) There was another news crew there on the scene (actually closer to the family’s property) that was not attacked. You can see their video of the whole altercation at http://www.wyff.com./ The reporter that was attacked said that the people beating her (4 on 1) were using racial epithets the whole time.”

Thanks for that link. In that whole story, I don’t think they mentioned race once. That is how it should have been reported.

Basically, one of the grieving family members asked both of the reporters to stop filming and go away. The white reporter (who did the later filming) complied and went down the street to interview other neighbors.

The black reporter was also asked to leave. She replied that she was allowed to be there as it was a public sidewalk. She was correct, albeit used poor judgement. She could have moved down the street and did the reporting and respected the family’s wishes and avoided the whole conflict.

That attack wasn’t racially motivated. It was the grief of the family mixed with a lack of respect and good judgement on the part of the reporter. If the two reporters would have swapped places, I’m sure the white reporter would have gotten nailed. The family was upset and emotions got the better of them.

In any case, the family was in the wrong. She was on public property, doing her job. She did NOT deserve to get hit, no matter what."

". . . What I can’t figure out (as a white guy) Is how Blacks can allow the Democrats to arrest ALL the black men, abort ALL the black babies, allow Mexicans to take over ALL the construction and custodial work. It is a fact, that a black man with a pistol in his car gets arrested, and a white man doesn’t. See, a white man gets to have the right to keep and bear arms, but a black man doesn’t. Therefore, when a white guy gets car jacked, the jacker gets shot, the black man loses his car. Fact: Police TARGET black neighborhoods, because all the crime is in black neighborhoods, because honest law abiding black people aren’t allowed to have guns. Go try to rob in a white neighborhood where everyone has guns. Can you say “Joe Horn”?"

". . . These headlines do make me sick. Im sure they would have had some crappy names for white reporters that showed up too if they did. They felt lots of anger and spewed it at those reporters the easiest way by adding racial remarks. Pathetic how we wonder why racism continues in this country when all we do is label groups of people and constantly look for “racists.” Sure there are people like that out there but this will never stop unless we treat individuals like individuals and stop assuming they are a certain way because of skin color, how much more racist can we get. Like voting for the next pres based on race/gender what a stupid idea; how about voting based on their accomplishments? The founding fathers would have heart attacks if they could see how pathetic we have truly become."

". . . Wow, it is amazing to me how when people get on the internet knowing that they can post anonymously and suddenly grow the balls to say anything they want. It is unbelievable(though it shouldn’t be) to me that people still think like this.The reason we have affirmative action and other programs is because of every poster’s WHITE ANCESTOR perpetuated a system of racism and injustice in this country for 300 years of slavery and Jim Crow to maintain the status quo of white supremacy. You have bad people of every race. If anyone on this page actually read the story and saw that the family that beat the reporter was not a grieving family. Their dumb a$$ grandson killed the grandfather and they didn’t want to be on the news!!! And to the poster that said we get looks “every now and then”, please!!! Live one day in my shoes!! I am highly educated and have never committed a crime in my life and I get looks frequently. Get a clue and get a life. People on this site are so UNEDUCATED. There is a difference b/t racism and prejudice. Racism involves POWER, power that blacks and other minorities in this country traditionally do not have. ANYONE can be prejudiced, there is no power structure involved in that. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!"

". . . Since details of what actually transpired and led-up to the attack are woefully lacking, all we can say with clarity is that an assault and battery took place. Beyond that, who did what to whom and for what motivation is speculative and a ’she said, she said’ situation.
Seems to me that poor judgment was shown by all sides in this affair. Hate crime? Possibly. Stupidity crime, most certainly.

I’m deeply disappointed that the hate mongers and race-baiters among us seem to be successful in perpetuating myths and stereotypes that have long out-lived their time; and that these same people have succeeded in separating Americans from other Americans. How are we supposed to face-down and defeat our enemies when the only people in the world who care about America — Americans — are at each other’s throats?

Black, white, brown, brown, yellow or red; we are Americans together…not the same, all from different backgrounds and all with slightly different cultural norms — but at its core this country is built on the concept that all persons here are brothers and sisters together, equal under law, one family with many branches. No family is idyllic, no law is perfect, humans are frail and flawed beings…but by the gods, if we, then don’t make a better effort to get along together all that we have, all the good we have done for ourselves and for helpless, tattered millions around the world will be lost.

You people who speak to each so shrilly, who call each other names, who fail to respect each other — all of you — you harm and demean and us all. Our beautiful land, a place abounding with every resource mankind needs to flourish, could be lush a with the rich foliage of people blossoming into their beautiful selves. Instead, when acid and venomous behavior inflames the worst sort of behaviors, I see the desert — an arid place, devoid of beauty — encroaching.
Shame on those on all sides in this sordid incident who endeavor to make us all less than we could be."

". . . Sir can you name one nation where Blacks have all the power and are thriving and not killing each other ? The world monatary fund has spent billions to help these nations and warlords say they are for the poor, where is the change? Look at Chavez another socialist out for him self. How long? Our Republic is based on the bible and we have come up short many times we are all sinners. The only thing that will ever unite us is the love of G-d. All power comes from G-d and leaders serve for a time at His pleasure for good or bad. The bad ones always seem to get theirs in the end. G-d Bless my educated friend. Good luck on your studies and degree. Remember that the statue of Lady Justice is blindfolded and has scales to weigh the truth. The republic always refers to the Bible IE ten commands, and known G-d given rights to measure out justice. Mercy is a part of justice also which must be measured out. With out these truth as corner stones and markers there is no justice only mob rule. We are close to that today with the secular humanists and the politically correct. What is correct in the eyes of the Master."

". . . Sigh, this is some inflammatory white loathing headline nonsense. Whoever owns this site should be ashamed, I’ve seen this video on another site and it said nothing about a racially motivated attack, neither did the video interview with the victim. This is some biased nonsense and the news and media are rife with it. The one way bias towards white people and coddling of black people in the news, both print and video is out of control, and serves no purpose, it does nothing to elevate society or enhance the publics critical thinking. If you want to use silly words like racism, and hate crime that for the most part polarize intelligent thought and rev the engine of idiocy in those incapable of reason then you must at least let it swing in both directions. Of course network news is useless these days and pretty much anyone who gets their info from their TV alone already has serious problems, and it seems some internet sites are following suit."

". . . OOO Boy, Somebody call Al Sharp, Heres him another story since no celebrities are yelling the N word.

Anything a white person does these days are considered racists.

I think Andy Rooney Sums this up real nice.

I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens…Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability."
