White people Quote by Colin Flaherty

““Almost as sensational as the black mob beating up a pregnant teenager is the case of the Seattle teenager, who in 2011 was assaulted and tortured for several hours because he was white. And “they started bringing up the past—like slavery—being like, white people did this,” said the victim. “They started bringing up the past - like slavery - being like, white people did this,” Shane said. The attackers stripped off McClellan’s belt and started whipping his back. “They said, ‘This is for what your people did to our people.’ They were like whipping me with my belt, my studded belt,” Shane recounts. “They’re like, ‘Aw, white boy, what are you doing? You can’t hang out this late. What are you doing around here?’ They’re like, ‘White boy has no belonging - being out here at 2 a.m.’ “They targeted me for being white, and they made it very clear that’s why they were assaulting me,” Shane said. The victim’s father said the attack was nothing short of hours of torture. “Put a gun to the back of his head and told him if he said anything they were going to blow his head off while they sat there and burned him with cigarettes on the back of the neck,” he says.7””
