Charmayne Brown, Black Reporter, Attacked On Camera By White Family In SC

Unless you're in th south, I believe America has come a long way toward racism. However if the economy doesn't improve and new laws are passed against corruptions in the finance industry, it will not matter as we watch our economy sink

"The black female reporter stepped around her cameraman to throw the first punch. "


No I didn't see that and neither did you, nose-picker.
If that is what happened why are the 3 hillbillies in jail and the reporter is still working. I guess those SC cops can't see as well as you.

"Hey Cleetus, em black reporters want to show are family is bad just cuz Billy-Bob punched grampa to death. I's gonna show em what fur. Whut happens in family is our business.

Republicans down to the last in-born cell.

The black female reporter stepped around her cameraman to throw the first punch. Those white people look suspiciously like trailer trash, and I don't like to defend trailer trash but the reporter threw the first punch. It is what it is.

Once that was all over if I were that reporter I would have walked up to my camera man and beat his face in.

It's so nice that he got great footage of his co-worker getting her face kicked in but maybe he could have put his camera down and HELPED the poor woman!!

Do humans (Americans?) have any humanity or emotion left?

We would rather watch someone get beat up than take the chance of getting hurt by helping the person. That is just plain sick.

It has been over a year since I have posted a response to an article but this one deserves a response.

I have been to South Carolina many times over the past years and while in South Carolina I met many kind wonderful decent people who were not racist. I also met many uneducated narrow minded people who were racist. The thing I find most evident is that the kind people and the racist people were repsented about equally among all races. Racism is a human thing just as kindness and gentleness is a human thing. They are however not traits usually found in the same person at the same time. The difference is education. Some parents educate their children to be racist and hateful and other parents educate their children to be kind and gentle. Until we teach our children to have compassion and to keep an open mind racism will never stop.

This family is obviously a violent family, they kill their own. How can we expect them to treat a stranger any differently than their own blood relatives?

The fact that we even mention race when thinking about the shootings of the college students or this issue means we are not color blind. When we can look at the NC shooter and this family for what they are without regard to their race we are free from racism. In both cases what we have are people breaking the law, end of story.

I thought it was ok for a group of people to beat someone to the ground and try to kick their head in. It was ok in Jena and the offenders got cash, a protest march and a spot on TV. Are the standards different somehow in this case?

...I can't believe that black reporter didn't use the advantage of her race in this situation!...


...ugh...

.

Who else thinks these white 'fellers' label themselves as Christians?
They must worship the violent, unforgiving Jesus.

Behavior like this doesn't seem strange, noticing one of the woman's name is "Billie Joe" ...

I wonder where her sister Bobbie Sue and her brother Jimmy Joe was?


But maybe Ms. Ferraro can keep her family a little better in line next time, they really seemed to have lost it in this clip. ;) Jokes. Just Jokes re: ferraro

Okay, how about two blacks arrested for murdering the white college co-ed ? Is this where this is going or is it just the season to keep whites on a guilt trip ? Some of you people are beyond belief. You pretend to know everything about everybody in one state based on one crime. Yet, you'll turn around and defend people who break the law because they're a minority and just couldn't help themselves. Incredible.

All of these 'video analyst' watch the available TV news video and then making judgments reminds me of bill friest comical senate floor 'video diagnosis' of the Schiavo woman a few years back. He didn't know what the hell he was talking about and neither do 99% of these commenters.

South Carolina Has a lot of backwards thinking going on. No law to protect against hate Crimes?
Check some of the other pathetic thinking in this state. It's sick. Isn't this the state where all the radical white christians were going to move to and then try and secede because America was "run by Homosexuals" or whatever they were claiming. Ugh.
The white trash republican thinking has GOT to go. These type people need to stop dragging the Real America down. What an embarrassment.

wait, was the geraldine ferraro? so this is what she is up to now?

what's up with the other news team? "oh that's channel 7, if we stand and watch as they get the sh*t kicked out of them, we'll get the story, hahaha!"

when a white tv crew stands by to film the black woman getting her a** handed to her, it really makes you wonder.....

Why is race featured so prominently in this story? The story appears to be about a reporter who was attacked by a family because she was reporting about a sensitive subject to them. There is no reason whatsoever to bring race of any kind into this issue. I'm really amazed at how many times the race of each person is mentioned, as if there was some kind of agenda behind it....hmmmmmmm......

Are there really two versions of the video, one showing the reporter attacking the family, or is that just a distraction? Honestly, I can't tell if it was a serious comment or not.

Personally, I'm willing to give the family a minor pass on this one. They were grieving the loss of a family member, and even if one of them did kill the guy, the others probably weren't involved. Obviously their attack was racially motivated, and they're probably not the most upstanding of people at the best of times. Of course, jumping on people who you don't like, care what color they are, is a crime and they'll have to deal with the consequences, which are usually quite light for simple assault.
