Note the contrast in the sentences below. Clear anti-white bias:
Black youths offered deals in race hate case: "Two black youths accused of taking part in the Halloween mob beating of three white women would spend only a few months in custody if they plead guilty to assault, a prosecutor said. The 15-year-old Jordan High School students were offered a pretrial deal Monday in Inglewood, where their case is being heard. They would spend no more than three months each in the California Youth Authority if they plead guilty to one count each of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, prosecutor Andrea Bouas said."
But much harsher sentence for whites who injured no-one: "Two young Lassen County men are facing prison sentences after pleading guilty Monday in Sacramento federal court to a race-based hate crime involving a cross-burning. Kevin William Ridenour and Nicholas Edward Craig pleaded guilty to felony interference with the housing rights of an African priest because of their hatred of black people. Ridenour and Craig admitted burning a large wooden cross early on March 23 on the street in front of the driveway of a rectory attached to Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church in Westwood. The rectory, which is less than half a block from where the pair resided, is occupied by the Rev. Bernardin Mugabowakigeri, a native of Rwanda. In written plea documents, Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner agreed to recommend two years in prison for Ridenour, 21, and 21 months for Craig, 18, when they are sentenced July 2."

While the cross-burning technically injured no one, a burning cross means, "Leave or we will do you violence." About twenty years ago, two black families were driven out of Westwood by burning crosses -- they didn't want their children hurt. In the present case, people had to explain to the African what it meant, and his attitude was that he had seen much worse, but other people wanted the young men arrested before they could do any harm. I do not believe in hate crime laws, and I agree the guys are in bigger trouble than they should be, but the community was definitely not amused.
The black kids in the other case are juveniles. I think juveniles should be tried as adults, but what is going on in the discrepancy between the sentences in the two cases is explained by hate crime laws and juvenile laws, and not just black and white.
