Video catches men shouting N-word while attacking a white woman on a date with a black man

An interracial Washington state couple was recovering this week after they say that they were attacked based on their race.

Serigne Diouf told The Bellingham Herald that he was picking up his girlfriend in Bellingham early Saturday morning when three men called him racial slurs and told him to leave.

Cell phone video of the incident shows Diouf’s girlfriend getting punched in the face before Diouf attempts to retaliate with punches of his own. Racial slurs can be heard as one of the men tries to jump on Diouf.

Yeah, there is no racism in America anymore!

I owe YOU nothing.

You don't count in my life - sorry - but that's the truth. <--- ETA In case anyone alerts on that - think about . . . why should some 'persona' on the other end of the internet register. It's a fact - just like John McCain doesn't count in my life.

I prefer to see it as looking down my nose at people who always are quick to jump on black folks.

So the best YOU'VE got is -

You're angry - typical response to 'black women' when we get 'uppity'. I would have preferred you just gone ahead and said it. LOL! *kiss*

And - you didn't exactly respond to the OP did'ja now?

Where is the condemnation of a non black man punching that white girl from you?

So I have no idea why I'm being attacked either.

I simply pointed out that it was silly to think that a racist act by someone - somehow excuses domestic violence.

But hey. If it's ok with you and the other poster for a man to hit a woman, good for you.

I happen to disagree, and I do not give one shit what the man's race is.

He should have trashed the entire thread which is what I did to that other thread. Only went back to it because of bluetires linking to it.

Take a deep breath. Go outside. Take a walk.

Be happy to be alive. I don't use the ignore function, but I'm capable of just doing that with someone so obviously angry.

You have a nice day now.

I don't respond to you. I don't put roll my eyes emoticons in posts to you. The er uh gentleman tried to pull a power play on me and I got him to get off my ovaries.

But - you had to write that. So I got to go back at you. See how that works?

I've never once written that to you - but I've thought it many times.

I'm just glad we can all be open and honest with our impressions of what other people post now. What we think of them.

What's fair is fair.

Try to remember that the person on the other end of the keyboard is a human being.

about a white man being violent, we need a thread about a black man being violent? What about Hispanic men? Asian men? Are middle-eastern men included or are they only in the domestic vs. foreign terrorist catagory? What about women, do we need gender balance?

Or maybe we could just acknowledge that some people are pondscum and leave it at that.

Name and shame this racist. Hard to believe he's only getting 4th degree assault.

An officer on the scene did not watch the video, and declined to file charges against anyone at the time. The officer claimed that all of the parties were drunk and that no one was seriously injured. But Diouf pointed out that he doesn’t drink and that his girlfriend had a black eye.

The department later reviewed the video and decided to arrest Zamora on suspicion of fourth-degree assault. The other men were not expected to face charges. Police Sgt. Mike Scanlon told The Bellingham Herald that the men could not be charged with a hate crime just for using racial slurs


Then the laws need changing.
