Its sad that some white people still feel like they are above African Americans.

i just read this news...it is sad..i am not live in usa..and i am not black or white...but i cry for this...

[ShebadKim]

Yes there is plenty of black on black crime but we can never do to our own Ppl what centuries of whites have done to blacks!

[ShebadKim]

Justice has finally been served! Well not quite, they should have given them all the same fate they gave Mr.Byrd! Drug behind a truck til there was nothin left! He got the easy way out.

@twilight0sucks0balls - Careful on your generalizations...I've never worn a sheet. I grew up in Mississippi in the 60s, and don't have a racist bone in my body! Sounds like you might though?

While true, remember that Evil is Evil. The DOJ page actually tracks this crime by race. Black on White heinous crime is twice the rate of White on Black heinous crimes. BOTH, however, are dwarfed by Black on Black crime, which is like 3 or 4 times Black on Whitecrime. But you are correct. White on Black crime is what hits the news!

Please don't misunderstand; I rememember this! I was hurt to the core of my very being...How evil can man BE?! The world needed to hear this! RIP James.

It is sad that anyone feels like they are above anybody else! Regardless of one race against the other!

Tragic example of how some people have no respect for human life.

But bear in mind that that is the same mentality that gang bangers have when they randomly kill to earn respect.

Also let's not forget that this same kind of behavior happens to Whites by Blacks and rarely gets national attention and the Blacks are almost never charged with hate crimes. For example, the mutulation deaths over several days of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

All of these individuals are sick.

The proper way to describe us is Black people, not African Americans. Do we call White people European Americans, no! So stop using that damn terminology! It's a shame how many folks are still ignorant and hateful in this day and time!

@kakonis Glad you brought that up.Its important to understand that our controlled media deliberately distorts the facts in interracial crime cases when the victims are black.That includes misleading the viewer as to the true nature of perpetrator or victim.Example:whites are frequently presented as "supremacists" or baseless haters,when they arent;and blacks are frequently presented as productive citizens and paragons of virtue when they are often convicts or ex-convicts.This IS deliberate.
