Would somebody explain to me why...?

... a white boy is beaten on a bus by three black thugs and the bus driver did nothing.. my father is 63, he drives a bus, and I know he would have stepped in.in fact has stepped in to stop fights.... the kid could have been killed. My father would never say.. oh its the schools policy, or made an excuse.. these are kids. Where is all the outrage.. why isn't the president speaking up about this.. you can bet had it been three white boys that were beating the black kid.. there would be marches all over and the Jacksons, and the Sharpton's would be whining and crying. You want to know where racism lives in this country.. it lives in the White House, and in the houses of the blacks who just want to get whitey, no matter how. This is deplorable and sickening and will go on and on. And sooner or later whites are going to fight back.. and it won't be pretty. Speak up Mr. President!!!@

Update:

Disciple.. that is not true.. I would be just as outraged if the demographics were different.. wHat I am saying is if it had been a white bus driver, I hope to God he would have stepped in.. My dad was white, and I know what he would do.. only speaking from the experience I know.. ANY ADULT SHOULD HAVE STEPPED IN!!

Update 2:

ROMARE.. I WANTED A SERIOUS DISCUSSION.. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY TOO STUPID FOR THAT.. AND I THINK PERHAPS YOU ARE THE RACIST ONE.. IT IS NOT RACIST TO QUESTION WHY THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A CHILD.. OR DO YOU JUST NOT CARE BECAUSE THE KID WAS WHITE?

Update 3:

Frank.. so if I see this same man, this bus driver, being roughed up or beaten by three white thugs, should I just walk away. What in hell is wrong with people, whatever happened to helping your fellow man.. this is crazy.

    Obama will only speak up about things that could possibly start a riot and this story will not stir up anything.

    Black thugs can do what they want and the person who tries to stop them is going to be threatened with death... George Zimmerman.

    Obama would have been the kid preforming the violence, he already said Trayvon was like he used to be.

    Sharptons and Jacksons only go after white people because that makes the news and the whites have the money to try to extort.

    TRUE STORY: I worked at a Junior High school and a black teenage boy, big kid, had been fighting and the principal and two teachers were trying to subdue him. One of the male teachers, a black man, was knocked to the ground by the kid. Well, I am really big and strong so I walked over and put the kid in a headlock and dragged him to the office. The next day the kid's LAWYER approached me and said his client had a sore neck.... I told him to take it to the office, and never heard anything else about it.... but I learned a lesson. No more grabbing kids causing trouble for me, not worth it.

    because the guy is 60-something and makes his living as a bus driver, that's why...

    he had already applied for retirement by the time this had happened... he's got a life too, so did all the other kids on the bus...

    RESPONSE: Helping your fellow man is one thing. A senior citizen being expected to stop 3 - 15 year old thugs is another. The thugs should be persecuted, not the bus driver. If I was that bus driver, sure, I would have stepped in, but I certainly wouldn't expect grandpa to help.

    You post something like this, and then I bet if I told you you were a racist, you would get upset. I guess they're discussing it on Fox, and all you viewers had to come here with your faux outrage--as if you care one whit about the white kid.

    And why do you think Al gets involved in everything that happens in the U.S.? You people seem to be obsessed with Al, and I don't understand that.

    Furthermore, the 3 kids were arrested and charged, right? Zimmerman was not, and that was the problem.

    *******************

    I do care, and as I mentioned, the wrongdoers were arrested. You are trying to make a comparison between this case and the George Zimmerman case, which is highly irrational to begin with, and I am pointing out to you the huge difference. THESE KIDS WERE ARRESTED FOR WHAT THEY DID. Do you speak English? If so, why is this hard for you to understand?

    I am having a serious discussion with you, but your ears are glued shut.

    Ask your dad if he is able to put his hands on a student... When I drove bus in between jobs, we were not allowed to touch a student for any reason at all.
