From the Des Moines Register, KSDK NewsChannel 5:
Des Moines police are trying to determine what led to a series of attacks outside the Iowa State Fairgrounds over the weekend that included the assault of two police officers.
Sgt. David Murillo stated in a report on Friday night: On-duty officers at the fairgrounds advise there was a group of 30 to 40 individuals roaming the fairgrounds openly calling it ‘beat whitey night.’
And State Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad, D-Des Moines said he doesn’t have enough information to decide if the fights were racially motivated. http://escapingmediocrity.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/state-rep-not-sure-if-beat-whitey-night-fights-were-racially-motivated/

Well now hehehe this is interesting. Here is also a picture of Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad in the middle saying that he does not have enough information to decide if the fights were racially motivated. Hmmm Where is Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson? I guess they only show up for "Non Whites." Well now if Rep. Samad was oh uhhhhh lets see maybe white, hmmm you think there would be a backlash if there people shouting "beat blackey night?" Think about that!
