if it said "2 caucasian men" would yall be saying "racist!"
sho nuff!

According to the article, yes. The shooters got him. Critically
Also in the article, it says nothing of the shooters being African American
I had a couple of other friends that were there, but they ran off when the gun were pulled out...It's just sad that a 16 yr old girl has to pay for someone's stupid stupid mistake. Alot of police and homeland security are out looking for these murderers and I'm pretty sure they won't be coming back for questioning after they get to them...& that's the way I want it to go down too!
it is because her "race"is never mentioned, she is not referred to as "white kayla smith"
it was irrelevant and something tells me it had an agenda.![]()
as a black person...i dont give a ****. color shouldnt matter; but if it did, wed be african amercans. if it said "2 caucasian men" would yall be saying "racist!"
Race is FREQUENTLY mentioned in articles so that it can help with finding the suspects if they are missing. They don't mention race for the victims usually since that is irrelevant, unless it was a hate crime (and hate crimes are an issue in itself). Again, there is NOTHING wrong with extra details.
Surprised no one noticed this,is Vic Mackey on the case ?![]()
when those extra details make sense.
in this particular case they don't.
get over it.
it's about you being "all in your face"and "Non PC" it's about common sense, try and distinguish the two next time.
Who gives a f**K who shot her...... The important thing is that she was SHOT not WHAT COLOUR the shooter was
chris benoit did it

The article says she was shot in the chest and that she's in stable condition. It makes no mention of her spine being hit.
And it's a terrible tragedy that she got shot, but did you really have to go out of your way to point out that they were African-American? It just comes off as racist and bigoted, dude.
jag
Very sad when criminality affects the innocent.
As far as terms, unfortunately blacks cannot decide on what they want to be called, so "miscommunication" is going to happen frequently. I've heard every term derided by someone. Whites have no problem being called white. African American is stupid because they're not African. If that's the case, I should be called Irish Native American American.
BTW, pointing out that it was blacks behind the shooting is NOT racist. Its just extra details. If a black girl had been shot by whites, you sure as **** would have heard that much detail. He didn't say anything racist or derogatory about blacks, so let's get off the PC soapbox.
uh....does the race of the shooters make her any less dead?why is it even included.
why is it even important?
quite possibly it describes the criminal... and quite possibly you should read closer...She's alive, but might never walk again b/c an a.a. gang member decided to go shoot up some people.
Does it help if I just use the initials....or is that racist?
I've got to say this is quite ridicious....
Remember the thread is to request prayer for the family and friends...Do not bring that crap in here. People are still mourning of this, including myself and I don't appreciate these arguments at all.

Well, at least she's not dead.
