Because obama is such a uniter
But mostly because, you know, he deserved it for being White, or something
White Driver Stops After Accidentally Hitting Black Kid, Mob of People Who Could Be Obamas Sons Beat Him Nearly To Death, Rob Him
Are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson going to be leading any marches demanding justice?
Via NYDN:
Only one news source (and there are plenty reporting on this story) was willing to describe the race of the attackers.
The stories on this never mention the race of the man who was attacked but I was able to confirm he is white.

A Detroit man was in grave condition after a group of people pummeled him when he pulled over to check on a 11-year-old boy he hit with his truck.
The 54-year-old driver stopped as soon as he struck the little boy identified by his family only as David who darted in front of the pickup truck near Morang and Balfour streets shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday, WXYZ-TV reported.
David was laying right in front of the driveway and he had blood coming out of his mouth, James Duston, the boys godfather, told the news station.
He couldnt move his body.
Suddenly, some of the 30 people who surrounded the scene pounced on the driver.
I think it lasted about one minute and then they let him go, one witness, who did not give his name, told the news station.
And then they jumped back on him again and they did it about three times, and finally someone was trying to help the guy that got beat up It was sad because I knew the guy was getting out of his car to try and see what damage he did.
The child was treated for a broken leg, but the driver was placed into an intensive care unit. A relative said he was suffering from injuries that included bleeding of the brain.
He could potentially die, Woody told the newspaper.

DETROIT, MI A motorist stopped to check on an 11-year-old boy after he struck him with his vehicle at a gas station in Detroit and was severely beaten by a crowd of bystanders late Wednesday afternoon.
The child ran into the road in front of the vehicle and was struck, a representative if the Detroit Police Department Public Information Office said. The driver stopped, got out to aid the child and he was severely beaten by 10-12 black males.
Detroit police say both the motorist and child were in critical condition Wednesday evening.

Mob Beating of White Driver Who Stopped To Help Boy In Detroit Possible Hate Crime
DETROIT (WWJ) As a 54-year-old Roseville man clings to life in the hospital following a brutal mob beating on Detroits east side, many are starting to wonder if the whole thing was racially motivated.
As first reported by WWJ Newsradio 950, an 11-year-old boy suffered a broken leg on Wednesday when he was hit by a pickup truck after walking into the street near Morang and Balfour. The driver, Steven Utash, immediately got out of his truck after hitting the boy and was viciously attacked by 10 to 12 men. The beating was so brutal, Utash was rendered unconscious.
Utashs son Joseph told WWJs Gary Lundy Thursday night that his father remains in a medically induced coma, nearly unrecognizable due to his injuries. He also said his wallet was stolen from his truck.
If it went on any longer, my dad wouldnt be in the hospital right now, he would be in the morgue. The way he looked, I am surprised that he is alive, he said. He has bruising over his face, his eyes are swollen, I believe its his left eye that is completely swollen shut. He also has a big, huge knot on his forehead like he got hit with an object, not a fist.
Joseph Utash said he was working with his father in Detroit just hours before the attack. Both of the men are tree-trimmers, working in the city for years now.
I came home from work and it was on the news, my dads pickup truck, and I was just like Oh my god. Then I heard that he hit a kid and I was like freaking out that my dad hit a kid. And then I heard that bystanders just beat him up and I just, I called my mom immediately, he said. From what Im hearing is he tried to fight back, but trying to fight back against 11 people fighting you, thats 22 fists coming at you at once, you cant really do much.
Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody said Steven Utash was not at fault for the accident.
Our preliminary investigation shows the child stepped in front of his vehicle, Woody said. He did exactly the right thing. He stopped his vehicle, he got out and he tried to render aid to a small child. He did exactly what he was supposed to do It was a small child and it was an accident; is what it was.
State Rep. Alberta Tinsley Talabi (D-Detroit), told WWJ Legal Analyst Charlie Langton the incident appears to have racial overtones, adding, its wrong.
Joseph Utash said although it was tough to stomach, he watched video of the incident.
As my dads truck was coming down the street, the kid stepped right in front of my dads truck. My dad had absolutely not one chance in the world to try to swerve out-of-the-way or stop, he said. He got out of the car to check on the kid and before he even got up to the kid, he got assaulted by 11, 12 people. They jumped all over him and beat him up. While they were jumping him, somebody else jumped in the truck and stole his belongings. They took his wallet, his cellphone, everything out of his truck.
