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.

    I don't understand why people point this out. When people point out an African-American accomplishing some feat, that means people are kind of surprised about it. African-Americans should be treated the way whites are treated.

    Martin Luther King was in Memphis, when he was assassinated. The racial discrimination in the city killed Martin Luther King. The whites didn't like him and beat him and arrested him and tortured him. When he was at this motel, he was killed due to the racial discrimination in Memphis.

    I thought this was interesting because it shows the racism in Memphis. This problem can get bigger and bigger if it is allowed. This crime was done because Martin Luther King was black. This is a big part in racial discrimination.
  • Sam B on 12 Feb 14
     
    "and beat him and arrested him and tortured him" is a run-on sentence. The crime was not done just because he was black. The attack was done because he was supporting blacks. Also you need to list this under history.
  • Hewes S on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think this is to long ago and it won't really give lots of information about today society.
  • Blake S on 19 Feb 14
     
    I argue with Hewes because it was formal and gave recent information ABOUT THIS TOPIC.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    Although this article gives specific information about Memphis' history, the information is not recent nor important for today's situation.
  • Griffin R on 19 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Hewes, It was a long time ago. You need to find a website with recent info.
  • Jim K on 19 Feb 14
     
    Memphis is a big city for civil rights in America, but I think you could find something that relates to today, and effects our society.

    Are there any facts backing theses conspires, and what causes them to be so compelling?

    This is not important because it is to old for our question.
  • Jack F on 19 Feb 14
     
    While this does go over the racial discrimination I think this more one sided and is only about Dr. Martian Luther King.
  • Seth R on 19 Feb 14
     
    How does this relate to us reducing racism in our community ? I like how you used facts to back up the problem. I don't think that this doesn't really relate to us reducing racism. I suggest that you find an article that does realet to our issue.
  • Samuel K on 19 Feb 14
     
    This is a good topic and I think that it will help in our group discussion, but I think that you need something more recent.
  • Devin M on 19 Feb 14
     
    Why is this important today if it happened in 1968?I like the historical reference.I'm concerned with it's outdated info. I suggest you find something more current.
  • Ben S on 19 Feb 14
     
    Although this happened many years ago, I think this article can help us in this proses of how we can reduce racism in our community.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    This may be a little one-sided. The passage talks about the outrage and distress after King's death, but not the feelings of racist people in the country.
  • Jimmy T. on 19 Feb 14
     
    I do not think this is biased. However, I would question whether or not it is relevant to what we are studying. Your question was, "Where/how do we address the problem and change things?". The upcoming days of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination aren't relevant to that question.

    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.

  • Henry B on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think you also need some more background in this. There just isn't enough information in what you said to be sure of the real problem. Where is the problem? All you are saying is we need to pursue Obama's dream. No problem is stated.
  • Seth R on 19 Feb 14
     
    Are you saying that we need to bring back Martin's idea? Yes. I am. I like how you had the idea of using something that has already happened and worked to spread the word about racism. This is a reliable link because it is from a University, but this seems to have very many opinions in it.
  • Jim K on 19 Feb 14
     
    It is great what Martin Luther King has done to unify us. I wouldn't have some of my friends today if it weren't for him. I try to live by: Judge a man by his actions; not the color of his skin. I think it would be great to make a celebration for him. I think the article was good, I just think you could find a deeper one.
  • Robert D on 19 Feb 14
     
    Is this link valuable? Sure it compares Lincoln to king and king to Obama, but that is not affecting our community.
  • Jerry P on 19 Feb 14

    This article is great talking about how the "I have a Dream" speech has brote this country together.
  • Devin M on 19 Feb 14
     
    Why is this important now? This is important because of its history and heritage. What drove MLK to give this speech. We should consider following MLK's ways of leadership and awareness.
  • Jimmy T. on 19 Feb 14
     
    I don't think that this is biased. However, I don't think it's very valuable either; it's an interview with someone who wrote a book that connects Abraham Lincoln to Obama to Martin Luther King Jr.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    This page is quite one-sided. The side supporting Martin Luther King's speech. The answers to these questions are said by one man rather than a group or groups of people. Imagine what a somewhat racist person would say to some of these questions.
  • Graham W on 19 Feb 14
     
    I think we need to focus more on what his dream could have done to racial discrimination more that just look at it and say, " Man that is a great dream."
