Where is the outrage?

If she had actually punched the girl why have no charges been preferred?

I rather doubt struck, I strong suspect grabbed as in 'X I've told you three times already not to do Y stop it now!'

Exactly this.

What I'm saying and apparently your lack of knowledge of Al Sharpton's past history is showing. Is that there is more than a little irony when if it is a White who is seen as the aggressor, whether supported by the facts or not, there are riots, national television coverage, Al Sharpton and friends turn up, the President and Attorney General comment before an investigation is even completed. But when a Black strangles a woman to unconsciousness, the silence is deafening.

Would you feel that this thread would be better justified if she'd been strangled for another minute or so and suffered either irreversible brain damage or died?

This was a story about a black woman who assaulted a white woman (who didn't even suffer any specific injuries worth reporting) who didn't even spend 48 hours in hospital (we don't even know if she spent more than an afternoon in hospital). Additionally, her attacker was immediately arrested.

This was barely newsworthy you twit..

There may be an imbalance of news coverage given over to white on black crime (vs black on white crime)... This isn't an example of that..

Finally you strip way the genteel pretense from your real message, "Us poor whites always get picked on by officialdom and the media, while them blacks constantly have their misdeeds ignored. We of the White Race need riot leaders too; then they'd give us the attention we deserve". Utterly racist and ridiculous, but clear at last. Thank God Almighty you're clear at last.

Be careful what you wish for. Race saviours come with very high price tags.

Who exactly should we be protesting against? When people protested/rioted when police officers killed African Americans they were protesting against more than the specific act. They were protesting against the systemic problems that allow for these acts to occur and to go unpunished. In your example the mother is not part of some organization and, further, she has been arrested and subjected to prosecution.

Also, unlike countless acts of horrific violence in the past, there is no evidence in this case that the mother attacked the teacher simply because the teacher was white. No one is defending the idiotic mother or her co-accused. But for all we know the mother would have attacked the teacher regardless of the colour of the teacher's skin. So yes there is a wee bit of difference between this incident and a bunch of white people burning an African American church to the ground.

+1 ..more strawman scare tactics for white people to read, and be furious that black people are humans (everyone commits violence, no matter what colour)

Parents beating the shit out of teachers in schools while classes are in session is very newsworthy.

Sorry, but it was one parent one time. And the OP found it in the news media. What he misses is the subsequent outrage. You could help him out by organizing an effigy-making and burning party in your neighbourhood.

Especially so because most previous outrage has turned out to have been based on lies.

Really?? You want international news coverage of a simple case of battery (which was swiftly dealt with by the local authorities)?? There were a little over 14,000 homicides in The United States in 2013.. But you think this single story of a black woman beating a white teacher deserves to be front page news across the Globe?? And, further, that we should hold rallies to show our solidarity with the victims of (what you obviously consider to be) systemic racism by black people against white people (of which this single case of battery is the perfect example)??
