is this racism?
 

(CNN) -- Six West Virginia residents have been charged with kidnapping, torturing and sexually assaulting a Charleston woman for at least a week. As they spoke with a woman on the front porch, "a female inside the residence limped toward the door with her arms held out, saying, "Help me."

The 23-year-old woman had stab wounds on her left leg and bruises around her eyes, authorities said. The wounds were about a week old, the release said.

"Deputies found her with two black eyes, part of her hair had been pulled out, she had lacerations on her neck, and she had been physically, mentally and sexually abused," Logan County Sheriff W.E. Hunter said. The victim was forced to eat rat and dog feces and drink from the toilet, according to the criminal complaint filed in magistrate court.

Deputies arrested Frankie Brewster, 49; her son Bobby, 24; Danny J. Combs, 20, of Harts, West Virginia; and George A. Messer, 27, Karen Burton, 46, and Alisha Burton, 23, all of Chapmanville, West Virginia. Charges range from kidnapping and torturing to malicious wounding and battery.

Those arrested are white and the victim is black, and the FBI plans to investigate it as a possible hate crime, according to AP. The sheriff's department requested the FBI's participation, an agency spokesman told AP.

thoughts? are there really still those kind of people out there? maybe i dont see it in my little world

nevermind.

if they were having sex with her yet they don't like black people their raciest views are totally hypocritical and they are nothing more then dumb redneck animals. Who knows what it is but yes racism still exists in this country and probably always will. :2 cents:

define "racism"

This is a fucked up world.

well, in that case i wondered if they did that soley because of her color, rather than a family or whatever that just did crazy shit

but it got me thinking of just basic inequality, dont see it much in many people other than the occasional hick.

I think those who are responsible for the torture should get their necks cut or a set of new shoes each. Why should these pieces of crap go to jail?

Just a request. ^^

.

my personal opinion is that people that are racist, are people that dont have very much, and it is human nature for many to try to feel superior over others, they may get some of their dignity that way, not sure

why should anyone who rapes or murders get to live? They should all die and save us some money on taxes :winkwink:

how the fuck should we know? may be they did it because of the color of her skin, may be they did for no reason at all, either way shoot them in the heads as soon as they are found guilty

as for do racists still exist? I spent 10 years in South Africa and "seen" it just about all - from the redneck farmers who would shoot a ten year black boy as soon as he comes ten feet from their property to the blacks that would wait for hours for the 90 year old white farmers to come back from the church so they can slaughter them like animals

That's just fucked up!
