Saxophone Player Attacked at Summerfest

This is a perfect example of the double standard going around. The three woman that attacked Cassandra attacked her because she was white. Only one woman was charged with Assault and Battery, the other two were only charged for disorderly conduct. I'm just wondering how much more lenient with hate crimes, when targeted towards somebody that is white, they are going to get. A lot of people think that things are still not equal between races, and they are totally right. But the balance scale has tipped to the other side. It's only racism if shown by somebody white. This is a prime example. Where I went to school,this problem was everywhere. Black kids would call each other the n word, so a white kid that was close to them said it, his friends didn't say anything, but someone who overheard did. The other student had to talk to the teacher and I think the principal. I was called 'cracker' numerous times. People thought it was funny. Nobody thought it offensive. I kind of did, but I didn't want to start anything. My brother was targeted all the time. Someone even hacked into his account on some learning community site and decorated his page with white supremacist images and logos. He almost got in trouble for it. When they found out it wasn't him, it was just dropped. They didn't try to find out who did it. Things aren't equal. Especially in Milwaukee Public Schools, where they only enforce this mind set for the future.
