Your comments about “African American hoodlums” merely “doing what they do” is racist. Plain and simple.
Why do I say that? Because you did not say, in this post or in your previous posts in this thread, that these particular black kids in your particular neighborhood were acting like hoodlums, as some kids of all colors in many neighborhoods have been known to do from time to time. You started this thread to point out a story about a McCain supporter being attacked by a Obama supporter and then you followed that up with stories about African American hoodlums verbally assaulting your daughter and doing other unsavory things, which is of course, “just what they do”. Verbal and physical violence is what “they” do. It’s natural. It’s instinctive. Right? Black man, his supporters, attack on white female McCain supporter… Black kids, attack on young white girl… Anyone can see the correlation, right? Yeah… no. Correlation does not equal causation, and in this case, the correlation itself is illegitimate. Then again, being familiar with debate tactics, I'm sure you are well aware of that.
If your only problem was with the behavior of your neighbors and their kids, and if race has absolutely nothing to do with it, then why did you bring it up at all? Why did we need to know that these kids and the neighbors are black? How is their race relevant, unless of course, you were in fact trying to force a correlation between their race and their behavior?
