Which leads to the second problem: these "kids" really should incur some consequences for their actions, and if not Jezebel, then who? If it's a public school, the school may not have grounds to punish the kids since the conduct occured outside of school and is probably protected by the First Amendment. And if the kids are dropping n-bombs, chances are the parents are too (and if that's the case, what's the likelihood of a meaningful punishment from the parents?).

Katy's suggestion to the call the police would also be futile. These teens didn't do anything illegal (And cops have better things to do than monitor bad taste on the internet).

So I don't have any problems with Jezebel's piece, even it was motivated by commerce or other factors. There should be ramifications for calling someone a n*****, especially if done through the bullhorn that is in the internet.

It doesn't claim to be about racism in general. There's no need for it to be about racism in general. It's about this one particular event.
And there's nothing wrong with ad hominem attacks as long as they are relevant. If the topic is racial tolerance, and you have a history of saying racially inflammatory things against blacks on this website, it's a valid point to bring up.

If you're telling the truth, you'd think we'd have heard about all these black mob attacks from people who don't have swastika tattoos.

Seriously. That's all he does on Slog. He dutifully patrols the posts as the self-designated defender of the right of white people to use the language of slave masters in the year 2012, for god's sake. It's his duty!

You know what, you backwards peabrain? The reason no one gives a damn about social conservatives anymore is because peabrains like you are their representatives. Keep patrolling Slog and blabbing about aggrieved white racist peabrains and we'll just keep winning elections.

Forgot to add, I hope you collect a beat down from one of those 60+ Big Black mobs that you claim are roaming around Seattle. Like anybody believes your racist ass! Please.

Stick to Stormfront.

So glad that your racist ass is upset. Yes, Black people rule the world. Get used to it, Punk. Go to Russia or some other White country if you don't like the US or the Black man who is in the White House for the next 4 years.

Very glad that Jezebel called out the little racist asses. And also glad that their school knows about their misconduct. No pity for them at all.

Here is a clue for you - they make that shit up.

Posted by Senor Guy]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2012 16:00:19 -0800 The Stranger "There have been 60 or so mob attacks in Seattle over the last couple years."

So that would be 30 a year.
Or more than 2 a month on average.
Do you have any documentation for that?
Because it sounds rather unusual.

Why the lack of calling out of hate speech on actually, objectively racist black people, huh?
Posted by Andrew S.]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:16:52 -0800 The Stranger
You are out of your mind. There have been 60 or so mob attacks in Seattle over the last couple years. Almost all being black on white or black on Asian. Just a coincidence! This same pattern has occured all over the country including an attack on whites by a black mob of over 200 at a Wiscounsin state fair. Your belief that white on black hate speech is more "dangerous" is false. Close to none of these mob attacks were prosecuted as hate crimes. When was the last time a mob of whites attacked a black person at random without it being labeled a hate crime? Probably around 1942.

Racially motivated violence by Black against Whites is not uncommon in this country.
If you get all your news from Slog you wouldn't know it, though....

you first, bitch.

we noticed from your "mystrangeface" "about me" page that "seatackled has not written a bio."

How about you post your name, address, place of employment, email address and some (real) pictures....

Why the defensiveness on behalf of actually, objectively racist white people, huh?

Old enough to type on a computer is old enough to understand that racial slurs harm other people, and harming other people is bad. They deserve what they get.

* No one would have posted any racist tweets in the event of a white male Democrat winning. Most African Americans vote Democratic.
