Whew! Good thing it wasn't white people eh?

Some contend they were white people.

Opinion | A Racist Attack Shows How Whiteness Evolves

While it’s tempting to see the reported ethnicity of the boys suspected in the assault as complicating the story and raising questions about whether the assault should be thought of as racist, I look at it through a different lens. Instead of asking what the boys’ reported racial identity tells us about the nature of the attack, we should see the boys as enacting American whiteness through anti-black assault in a very traditional way. In doing so, the assailants are demonstrating how race is a social construct that people make through their actions.

Apparently to some they are white, because race is a social construct, and American whiteness involves anti-black assault.

It appears you did not understand the article because that is not what the article said

Well I've heard a lot of black rappers who hurl racists slurs. To be fair, I've only heard of one who urinates on young girls.
What do rappers have to do with the racist attack by these teens? Nothing. There is a rapper who urinates on young girls?

There are only three degrees of intellectual separation between blacks according to some on here: criminal, athlete or rapper/musician/entertainer.
