Police in Boca Raton, Fla., are investigating a possible race crime in the the brutal Jan. 28 attack on a local black grandmother who said her white attackers hurled racial epithets as they beat her.
Ruby Hope Williams, 65, of Deerfield Beach, said she was walking to the bathroom at the popular Red Reef Park public beach when she was pushed from behind and fell on the pavement. She said her lip was cut in the fall.
Williams yelled for her boyfriend, Kenneth, but he had gone to another part of the park to fish and was too far away to hear her call, according to the police report.
When she tried to get up, she heard one of the two men say, "Nigger, what are you doing here?" They allegedly dragged her a few feet on the pavement and kicked her in the buttocks before running away, Williams told police.
Neither of the attackers attempted to rob Williams, she said, adding that she called her daughter who told her to call 911.
Williams described the men as 20 years old; one white and the second having curly hair and tanned skin and possibly Hispanic.
Police searched the area but could not locate the suspects. There were no witnesses nor surveillance cameras in the area.
Williams told police she didn't want the crime investigated but her son insisted that the case be reopened and that his mother pursue the matter.

there is one thing we can all do. never leave home without a means of protection or a means to an end. this is not a time for passive resistance while some racist jackass(s) beats you into the ground. remember, DNA, DNA, DNA!!!
YOU MAY NOT WIN THE FIGHT BUT LET YOUR ATTACKER KNOW THAT YOU WERE THERE. at the same time we must challenge the legal system with something they cannot dispute, DNA. know your enemy. understand that when they attack like a pack of wild dogs, they fear you and hate themselves. this issue and others like it is a testament of their ignorance and evil nature. i cannot say that all whites are like these animals but it is til to weed out the beasT and hold them/him accountable for their actions.
think about this, this grandmother could just as easily been killed. we must fight back with the same intensity as our enemy. know that we will win. our history, though splattered with blood and gore, is that of survival an seemingly endless struggle . . . . AND STILL WE STAND! DNA identifies our assaillants. fight back my brothers and sisters. don't provoke confrontations. your patience will prevail. this level of hatred cannot be contained. fight every instance of racism and discrimination as if there is no tomorrow. take a stand!

It seems clear that no one wants to think about it, but we are headed for a nasty racial conflagration. It is not a matter of if but when.
If you think that racism was over by electing a black or mixed race man as president, then think again. You are still in racist America
If blacks were able to carry guns in the 1880's and early 1900's there would have been less KKK and white supremacists and their kin around today. WAKE UP WAKE UP
Give the white man credit for the mindset they placed on us. We hate ourselves and continue killing each other. CHANGE YOUR FOCUS IF YOU ARE GOING TO SURVIVE.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE RISE IN THE SALE GUNS AFTER THE ELECTION? SOME OF THESE WHITE RACIST ARE ALREADY PLANNING FOR A RACIST WAR. DO NOT BE CAUGHT WITH YOUR GUARD DOWN BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
Blacks have to arm themselves again. If that womam was my mother I swear to God I will be hunting those bastards down.

Bill Schrier comments spoke volumes about his mindset even his claims of not being a racist!
(I was just mentioning it because she is so stringkingly black.) Ebony, Chestnut or Mellon phenotype African-Americans are treated the same.
You act as if you never seen an dark complexion black person before? Being a certain color of the spectum has nothing to do with being attack. That's a sickness that whites have, that's the reason they are so facsinated by Obama. There are thousands of Brothers who look like Obama and are not interested in dregging up Massa's lineage that rape their great grandmothers.

@Mimi: It is simply a fear. Have you seen the movie "White Man's Burden." It is a movie about the tables being turned. Whites are poor and have to watch TV about happy black people in love, wealthy etc. A White father gets shot by Black cops in the same fashion us Blacks did.
Many Whites are very afraid right now and for them to have to go through what Blacks did scares the goodness out of them. What we need to do is train mentally, buy pepper sprays and taser guns. There are many ways to protect yourself legally.
But don't worry, the war is already over, they just don't know it yet.
