State Police: Berserk white guy attacks blacks, Hispanics with a hammer at Revere Beach

Mind explaining?

I wish you were filled with dictionaries.

Henceforth, all UHub crime reports should identify suspects that actively maintain a MySpace page.

Upon your screen size ...

66% of single-bias crimes investigated by the Feds in 2012 were white-on-black.
22% of single-bias crimes were black-on-white.

Single-bias means there was a a single overwhelming cause for the crime to be committed and it was the race of the victim.

So, unless you can prove that whites don't attack blacks because of their race at a 3-to-1 ratio as blacks attack whites because of race in this country, you're wrong.

So...now we're into the conspiracy theory world.

So, your supposition is that the teens attacked that couple solely because the couple was white and not because they had their iPhones out or the teens were stuck in a stupid group mentality that led to them all agreeing that attacking people was a good idea. Then, after investigation, the police decided NOT to tell the public or charge the teens for attacking the white couple and shouting racial epithets and Adam aloofly just republished what the police told him (even though he's made mention here that he does his own research based off police reports from time to time)...and all this led to him posting "teens" instead of "black teens"...which you don't actually have ANY evidence of because all the reports are anonymized since they are treated as minors so neither of their names nor their races has ever been released. You only have the fact that they're from Dorchester to go on.

Except the Globe story points out that the couple that was attacked were teaching each other Korean and one was from Japanese heritage. So, the couple isn't even likely white. In this case, the victim's races are somewhat known by the news...and in that fact, your conspiracy theory falls apart.

But I knew that before I posted because I knew you'd bite on what I said. Yes, very convenient.

Sounds totally reasonable, and then "he hurled a racial epithet at a black security guard" at Whidden Memorial Hospital because - wait, why?

Which is to say race, as a concept for categorizing people, is bullshit.

Of course so-called "racial science" was always bullshit. But you know what's just as intellectually dishonest, just as much bullshit as "racial science"? Pretending that "racial science", and the racism it engendered, have no power and don't continue to oppress people today. IOW, just because something's bullshit doesn't mean it's not powerful and that it doesn't harm some people.

The point is not whether blacks have committed more violent crimes against whites. It's whether they were racially motivated in doing so.

You see, a lot of violent crime has shit-all to do with race and everything to do with money and opportunity. There are a lot more white people and they tend to have more money, so they are going to be the target of violent crime more often. In fact, in 2010 it was like 60% white to 15% black Americans in America. So, the fact that your violent crime numbers are 430k to 90k is almost exactly in proportion...which means you are barely above background.

In other words, keep reading and let me know when you get to statistics and understanding the antecedent.
