How come when a black kid gets hurt, all the civil right leaders start marches and want someone to go to jail, but when black kids beat up a white kid, they don't care?

[quote]Joshua Reddin, Julian McKnight, and Lloyd Khemradj, all 15 years old, were arrested a short time later. All three were charged with aggravated battery and have since been released. Reddin is also charged with unarmed robbery. Gulfport Police Chief Robert Vincent told Fox News the attack does not appear to be racially motivated and was due to the younger boy reporting that one of the assailants had tried to sell him marijuana.[/quote] So the attack wasn't racially motivated, and the attackers were arrested and charged promptly. What is there for Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to say? This was a fight between kids at a school for kids who are having problems behaving, over some dumb rumor. Are they supposed to comment on every attack between people of different races? The Zimmerman case raised racial tensions because the case wasn't investigated by the police, remember? In this case, the police handled the situation and the attackers are going to jail. The case doesn't make a statement about race relations, or about the state of our justice system, because the attack had nothing to do with race and the system worked like it's supposed to.
