attacks arrested warner robbins racism issues

  • If the races had been reversed, this would be a major national news story. There is absolutely no doubt that national media would be in a frenzy right now. About thirty black teenagers, in Warner Robins, Georgia, celebrated a snow day by rioting and committing racially motivated hate crime mob attack. Five white adults were brutally attacked by the mob. One of the victims was a woman who had an infant baby with her. The thugs posted the this photo (right) on the internet to gloat about the attacks. The thugs screamed racial slurs during the assaults. The total number of arrests has increased to five. Since the perps are all juveniles, there will be very little repercussions for their actions. From Macon Telegraph… Three more teens were arrested Friday for their alleged involvement in an attack at Warner Robins High School last week when the school was closed for snow. D’Angelo Montell Roquemore, 17, of Warner Robins, has been charged with aggravated assault in the Jan. 29 brawl, according to a police news release. In addition, a 15-year-old boy from Warner Robins and a 14-year-old boy from Warner Robins were each charged with aggravated assault, the release states. Police did not release the boys’ names because they are juveniles. Two teens already were arrested in the incident, bringing the total number of arrests to five. Shymalik Raekwon Mitchell, 17, of Warner Robins, was arrested Wednesday an

      Something not fair is how if this were the other way around, this would be very major. It seems like media today is still racist.... just now to white people

      It's a good topic but this does not apply to racism in Memphis.

    3 black thugs called a white awful racial slurs, and brutally beat him.
  • Ben S on 12 Feb 14
     
    In the article I feel like it is one sided. We didn't here from the black point of view, what if the 5 white people threatened them? I feel like you need to add to the tags. For example, assault. Also, you highlighted almost all of it and Mr. Cummings said not to. Also, Georgia isn't in our community. We need to find the other side of the story, like what caused the black kids to kill them. What were the white people doing to provoke the blacks to kill them?
  • Graham W on 19 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Sam it really doesn't apply to Memphis because every night on Action News 5 you always see that someone either kidnapped someone or murdered someone. It is also black people and white people. So it wouldn't really be a big deal if a white guy murdered someone randomly. This happens every day in Memphis either a murder, abuse, or kidnapping, its not a big deal white or black.

    This article consists of the KKK marches in our general area. KKK tried to save Nathan Bedford Forrest and Jefferson Davis legacy by not allowing Memphis to rename the racist parks.

    This article is great because this shows the other side of the fight. Some African Americans have made some bad choices, but so have many whites as we have seen with the KKK, church bombing, and many others that exemplify the cruelty that both sides have done to push for there cause.
  • Griffin R on 20 Feb 14
     
    If the park is named after a racist, that does not mean that the park is racist.
  • Jack F on 20 Feb 14
     
    I think that the only way people who are racist like the KKK are getting their power is because of the reaction they get. I mean does someone complain when none of the people they are talking to care what they say.
  • Jimmy T. on 20 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Jack. I think racist groups like the KKK get their power is because so many people talk about them and do news articles on them.
  • Jerry P on 20 Feb 14
     
    Most articles only talk about African Americans and stuff they did, but this article is one of those rare ones that talks about bad stuff white people do. I agree with Robert.
  • Henry B on 20 Feb 14
     
    I like this because it is a little different like Jerry said, but I see that you highlighted this and I don't think it said everything you really wanted to say.
  • Samuel K on 20 Feb 14
     
    I also agree with Robert. I think that all of these people put a lot of lives in the way for a problem that could have easily been solved. It also shows how the blacks had to struggle for their rights and freedom. This article also looks at not just the black side of this problem (because that is the side that we always look at) but how that African Americans also made some bad choices and how some of them effected the problem as well.
  • SeanMarc T on 21 Feb 14
     
    This event shows how Memphis has a bad racist history and that it wasn't a good idea to name the parks the name of racists in the first place.
  • William S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is very questionable. I would like to see the originator of this park. Perhaps a KKK leader created it? This is a big problem and I'm glad they're fixing it.
  • Ben S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is a great article to help us get more information about our city's black history. This is a great article for our group to collaborate on and discuss.
  • Seth R on 21 Feb 14
     
    How does this develop our learning? It's really just about a park named after someone. I like how this is up-to-date and uses facts and history.
  • Hewes S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This does not give us any further information about racial discrimination. It has nothing to do with helping it either.
  • Sam B on 24 Feb 14
     
    This points to how the KKK is getting weaker despite the ongoing of the clan and how some of them are even in Memphis.

    This is about racist films that we haven''t realized were racist. The film makers hide things like making an animal white that saves the world. This is how kids and even some adults have been learning racism.

    I believe this is a lot of examples of racism but is a little off topic.

    I agree with Jack and it is a really good site
  • Seth R on 25 Feb 14
     
    I enjoy how there are specific examples of racism and it tells us how some racism is taught. It isn't exactly in our community, yet it's in no body's community. I suggest you find another way that racism is taught because this seems a little silly.
  • Henry B on 25 Feb 14
     
    I like how you are also bringing up the things we never thought about before. Did you realize these were racist before this you saw this link?
  • Sam B on 25 Feb 14
     
    This points out how through our media and theater showings can greatly influence how people think.

    I like that you thought about movies, but I think that you might could find something that is more in our area.
  • Robert D on 26 Feb 14
     
    Though this is true in some of these movies I don't think people were trying to be racist, but that was the impression that this gave. This is a different link and I think we need more diverse links like this one.
  • SeanMarc T on 26 Feb 14
     
    I think some of these movies aren't purposelessly made to be racist others are so for the ones that are accidental need to watch out for stereotypes in their movies.
  • Ben S on 27 Feb 14
     
    This is a great article to show how there are so many rasist films out there. I do think that you coud add some more tags though, such as racist films. But other than that great job.
  • Hewes S on 27 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Robert. Some films do not mean to be racist it just comes out that way.
  • Jerry P on 27 Feb 14
     
    This is a good article, but it is hard to understand. Some movies don't mean to be racist. They just are. You have to think deep to understand why each one is racist.

    Wells Fargo needs to send bills to every type of person at a time.

    There is no ladder of feedback. Need to add the tag Martin Luther King Jr.
  • Griffin R on 19 Feb 14
     
    Can you go deeper into the topic, this way you can understand the topic better.
  • Jack F on 20 Feb 14
     
    The black homeowners have definitely gotten the short end of the stick with how they are being treated by Wells Fargo.
  • Jimmy T. on 20 Feb 14
     
    I think that this in completely based on few to no facts. More black homeowners going into foreclosure doesn't mean there is racism involved. There are factors this doesn't account for, like getting fired. However, this doesn't mean that it isn't happening.
  • Jerry P on 20 Feb 14
     
    I agree that it sounds like Wells Fargo is definitely just trying to make blacks and Latinos lose their homes. That's just unfair.
  • Henry B on 20 Feb 14
     
    What was the major problem? You were not clear about that. Also, why do they need to send bills to everyone at a time. I don't think they should send blacks or anyone bills for the foreclosure reason.
  • SeanMarc T on 21 Feb 14
     
    The article is a great example of racial discrimination and this could lead us to more companies that discriminate African-American citizens.
  • William S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is yes racism but also greed. They specificly target these people because they know that they can't pay these bill so they go straight for them. And they are making tons of money off of this. Just like at their stock.
  • Ben S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This needs to be more clear, you need more facts. This could be a good article for our group though.
  • Seth R on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is a good article to show how major companies can be racist. Although I feel as though this could have happened to a white person or another race.
  • Hewes S on 21 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Griffin I think that it would be better if you went into further deatails.
  • Jim K on 21 Feb 14
     
    Maybe your description could be longer.
  • Sam B on 24 Feb 14
     
    This may not be racial discrimination. Black neighborhoods are common in Memphis and those neighborhoods are most likely the poorer ones. The families may be in dept, thus their interest goes up.
  • Jim K on 25 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Sam. Maybe it was just a coincidence that all the people being forclosed on just happened to be black that one time.
  • Jimmy T. on 25 Feb 14
     
    I don't think this article looks at every perspective. It doesn't look at the perspective of Wells Fargo. The foreclosures could have something to do with their jobs. Maybe their pay got cut, or they got fired. I'm not saying that it isn't happening, but I feel that it jumps to conclusions.

  • Robert D on 19 Feb 14
     
    This article is great, because it gives us a clear description of what is going on in our community that is a violation of what we are trying to resolve.
  • Jim K on 19 Feb 14
     
    I do agree with you Robert. Because of certain events where black people have been proven guilty, it seems like people always seem to blame the black people for everything. Two words for you: Racial Profiling.
  • Henry B on 19 Feb 14
     
    You should clarify what DOJ means. I see this article going far as long as some more detail is added. Maybe some more background. Did you mean to add some more detail? I suggest to make it a little more clear and then you will be fine.
  • Seth R on 19 Feb 14
     
    This is a somewhat bias article. It leans more toward the African-American side. One lady claimed that the race doesn't matter. Every situation is different, so there really isn't a real way to write down something and say it's true. I like how this is up-to-date and in our community. I suggest that you find a different article that has a two-sided opinion, or another article that back up the other side of this complication.
  • Graham W on 19 Feb 14
     
    This article gives great detail about what the real issue was, but it kind of got off track a little bit about what it is supposed to be like. Other than that this article explains a great deal of racial discrimination in Shelby County jail and prison systems.
  • Jerry P on 19 Feb 14
     
    This article gives very in-depth detail into how whites are treated better than blacks, but why does it use a lot of information from a couple years ago like 2009. Overall, it is a good article that has plenty of meaning to it.
  • Blake S on 19 Feb 14
     
    I feel like it is a good paragraph, the information was good and it was mostly up to date. This could lead us into bigger topics around not just our community, but around the nation.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    Nice job finding this article. It informs well how we have a unjust system in our court and encourages us to try to give every race a fair trial.
  • Jack F on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think this link is full of useful information. It tells a lot about how black people are persecuted in court.
  • Samuel K on 19 Feb 14
     
    I value that you choose this article because it is a great example of racism in Memphis, and I think that we can elaborate on this in our class discussion and it will cause more questions and make us think. Maybe you could clarify what the DOJ means.
  • Devin M on 19 Feb 14
     
    Since a lot of the judicial system is African-American why don't they help the kids? This is important because it shows that racism in the judicial system is still unfair towards African-American kids.I don't get why the African-American judges socially profile people.
  • Griffin R on 19 Feb 14
     
    This sounds like a good start to our research, most of the info is up to date and has great detail.
  • Ben S on 19 Feb 14
     
    This article is great in showing the racism in Memphis and is a great article our group can collaborate on.
  • Jimmy T. on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think this article might be biased or made up. These days, people are so untrusting of the government that they'll make up anything to make it look bad. With this, it is entirely possible that it is made up. However, it is still possible that this is all true.
