Where is Jessie?

OK, where is Jessie Jackson? Where is Al Sharpton, Spike Lee? A mob beats a man to the point where he is in a coma and there is little outrage. Why is that? The man that was beaten was white and the mob was black.

The incident took place after a boy ran out into the street in front of cars and was hit. The man that was driving the vehicle that hit the boy, stopped and got out to render aid. That is when he was attacked, beaten to the point where he may die, and robbed.

There is SOME mention of this in the local news but nary a mention in the national media. Why is that? The man who was beaten did NOTHING wrong. The accident was not his fault and he did not try to run or dodge his responsibility. This is a hate crime and should be treated as such.

There are a few lessons we can learn from this. The first is that IF you have this sort of accident in Detroit you are better off leaving the scene and driving to a police station. Doing what is right can get you killed. The second is that the self proclaimed "black leaders" are only concerned with white on black crime and care little about when it is the other way around. Where is Obama? He has spouted off on similar things in the past, why not this time? The third lesson learned is that IF you are forced to go into Detroit for ANY reason be darn sure that you are armed and prepared to use it. There is a very good chance that you may need it.

Where is the national outrage?

Why would the people named get involved that's not what they do. The question is senseless. No fan of those people but the question isn't a valid one.

I think he feels they should be involved and no they should not. Its like asking where is the airline pilots association when a car has a crash.

I took it as a sarcastic "where are they?".

I was alluding to the hypocrisy of those mentioned. They are proving their racist views. IF they were for equal rights and treatment of ALL they would be out in force. IF the poor man who was beaten to within an inch of his life, had pulled a hand gun and killing two of the dozen or so that was beating on him, they would have likely been out in force. Why are they not out condemning those who stood and watched the beating?

Actually, the wouldn't have "likely" been out in force. There are thousands of white on black crime incidents every day. Jesse and Co. can only do so much.

This is all true, but Detroit has a special place in their hearts.

Not all that many when a mob of a dozen or so attack one man for no reason what so ever.

IF they were "civil rights" leaders they would be OUTRAGED by this. "Black" leaders should be as well, doing all they could to bring the thugs to justice and work to insure that this sort of thing never happens again. Where is King Obama on this? Is he going to sit down with all those involved, assuming the wronged man survives, and have a beer with them to talk it out?

No they would not they are advocates for black people. It is not even a case of hypocrisy.

I didn't get to see the video when this happened. I was driving in Michigan. The radio news reports didn't mention the race of either the victim or perpetrators . Not necessarily saying this crime was a racial incident, but just an observation that they(some local news outlets) didn't identify race in the story.
