White Teens Kill Black Man For Being Black

You would think things like this wouldn't happen in 2011, especially by teenagers, but until all these racist fucks die off, we will never be completely out of the woods. Sadly, it's hard for racists to completely die off because racism is taught, not something you're born with.

But here's a question: Why are those 2 white dudes the only ones being charged? Wasn't there a group of them caught on tape? Yeah, only one of them ran him over (though 3 were in the car), but ALL of them were involved in the beating. My cousin has been sitting in prison since May of 2009 for allegedly being asked if he knew anybody that did murder-for-hires. Not for murdering anyone, not for being hired to murder anyone, but for being asked if he knew anyone that did that. You're telling me he can go straight to prison, but only 2 of these teens can be charged in this beating and murder THAT IS CAUGHT ON TAPE?? Bullshit!

Now while this is all supremely tragic, I don't want people running around saying things like "we have a long way to go in this country." No, Iraq has a long way to go. Pakistan has a long way to go. We have a short distance to go, but we still do need to get there.
