Special needs student savagely beaten in Memphis
DailyKenn.com — A special needs student was savagely beaten and kicked during an group attack near a Memphis high school.
The victim was White. The attackers appear to be Black.

Jim Crow and school segregation
In an effort to contain Black-on-White violence, some states instituted racial segregation laws. Blacks and Whites attended separate schools and, in some areas, schools were dismissed at different times allowing White students to safely walk home without encountering groups of violent Blacks.
Oregon had the most stringent segregation laws that prohibited Blacks from the entire area. Called 'lash laws,' violators faced the punishment of being beaten with a whip. To our knowledge, there is no record of any Blacks being punished under the laws. [See Oregon Black exclusion laws.]
Across generations and geography
Black mob attacks have persisted for generations. Even Abraham Lincoln, at the age of 19, was with a friend when set upon by a black mob. Lincoln, who excelled in boxing, managed to escape with the friend. That attack occurred in 1828 when Lincoln was 19 years old.
Black mob attacks also transcend geography. They occur throughout the USA and abroad, suggesting the behavior is inherent.
