http://wreg.com/2016/01/11/man-called-white-boy-before-brutal-attack-in-south-memphis/ "I mean he doesn't even look like the same person at all," Neysa Anderson, the victim's stepsister, said. Police said the attack happened on Tuesday, Jan. 5, at the Pendleton Pines Apartments near Pendleton and Ketchum. According to officers, Patton took a walk outside around 11 p.m. when two men he did not know came out of nowhere. "Something along the lines of 'hey white boy what are you doing around here? You're not supposed to be here' or something and that was it," Anderson explained. Anderson said Patton was knocked to the ground and severely beaten. "It completely crushed his entire sinus cavity. Like his -- all the bones under his eyes, his face were all completely crushed," Anderson told WREG.
Why does he have to have a specific point? People post shit from headlines all the friggin' time around here, so why should he have to justify his posting to you? Maybe he is posting it because everyone else seems to jump on these race related news items. are you disappointed because they didn't shoot the guy and give you yet another opportunity to whip out your little soapbox and start sermonizing and interrogating?
ask the author of the article ... I didn't write it lol. Also, thanks to the excellent mods here for fixing the title
Gas Oh calm down man, that level of anger can’t be good for your blood pressure. I asked what was the point because yes these attacks take place so what is his point in bringing this one particularly to our attention. Do you know?
IRQ You just chose a news report at random to link to and quote, why? * Also from forum guidelines - As often stated this is not a bulletin board it is a place to debate politics. For that reason cut and pasted articles or links [including video] should be used sparingly and more as a way to highlight a persons viewpoint rather than as a replacement for a persons viewpoint. * Why did you personally bring this to the forums attention what was your point?
The comment is the last thing I'm worried about. I can't believe someone did this to another human being.
i'm think the point was that these black people wont use the pc term of ''Caucasian boy'' when administering these ''life lessons'' even those us whiteboys stopped saying the n word years ago
Just read the damn article .. or don't. I really don't care either way. I am a spreader of information. This is what I do. You can shut your mind, it won't bother me, I promise.
I couldn't count the number of times I've been called "whiteboy", they are too numerous ... but that's pretty much exactly what I am. Yes I'm white, I'm very well aware of that. Luckily it never came down to me getting brutalized. I'm usually able to outsmart them when they try to run to talk game on me (which usually pisses them off though, they hate it when I make them look dumb). A few I had to pull weapons on when they tried to rob me, that made them back up. A few i had to fuck up pretty good, again when they tried to rob me (some skinny ass crackhead comes to mind). Fortunately I've never been truly robbed. Most of them think they can intimidate me, they are scared of people that aren't afraid of them. Cowards!
They prefer the term "black man" among themselves .. whites are boys, blacks are men. According to some .. I just see people, some that I would desire to associate with, and some I would desire to avoid based on their ethics, ideology, and behavior rather than how they look. But it's worth noting when I refer to someone's appearance, I speak of their natural body (which no one has a choice over); how someone dresses I classify that as part of their *behavior*. I remember having a nice talk with a young black gentleman about my age in Barnes and Noble, the topic was programming, specifically he was interested in game programming. He dressed and acted like a decent guy. But yes I will judge you if you look like a thug, no wonder you get profiled by cops, you look the part (of a criminal), when you intentionally present yourself as a criminal or gangbanger of course the cops are gonna notice. It's not "CUZ UR BLACK" .. it's because you dress and act like a criminal, and probably hang out in all the wrong areas, with the wrong people, doing the wrong things. The cops know damn well what those areas are and what goes on, they're not stupid. I bet the nerdy black guy I met in the 96th St. B&N never has any problems with the cops, or being "profiled". It's worth noting that I have been profiled by the cops and I'm white. I'm an ex-hardcore-druggie. When you look like a hardcore druggie you get profiled by the cops. When you look like a computer programmer or scientist, or respectable individual, you can have nice conversations with police officers as with any other normal human being.
That sucks. Where is this, I didn't feel like clicking the link and pendleton and ketchum tell me nothing. Could be drug related. Maybe the white boy was trying to sell on dudeman's block
When I wrote about the poor girl in New York City who was driven to suicide by the local Jewish community you asked me what my point was, did you not? You always ask me to justify my postings to you, do you not?
BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE!! IRQ42 did not interject his own personal bias and commentary on the incident in a manner designed to insight racial tension in the discussion, IE: race-baiting, which is something you seem to do with EVERY TOPIC regardless whether race is even involved, you always try to turn it into some racial issue. IRQ42 didn't do any of that lame assed soap-boxing, he merely presented something he considered newsworthy without telling us how/what to think about it. big fucking difference between you two, IRQ42 does not appear to be a racist, whereas you most definitely are.
Lyrics from the song by Big L "8 iz enuff" "Nigga, I don't need a gun for you, none of you, cuz I can kill ya dead with the lead from my number two" Yea that number two pencil can be dangerous, there are worse things than bodily harm hehe lol. And I kinda suck at C++, now C proper I'm actually pretty decent with (they are two different languages .. C is older and closer to the machine)
soul I’m afraid these incidences happen all the time all around the world what I’m trying to work out is why IRQ chose this particular incidence to highlight.
IRQ [SIZE=11pt][/SIZE] [SIZE=11pt]I read it - what I’m trying to work out is why you wanted to post it here, why that particular incident.

[SIZE=11pt]Gas[/SIZE] [SIZE=11pt][/SIZE] [SIZE=11pt]But that is what this forum is for - if people just want to look at the news feeds that up to them this place is for presenting what you think about such news up for debate. [/SIZE]
