Marine Park Race Attack

Marine Park Race Attack

The Marine Park Race Attack was an attack, suspected to be racially motivated, that took place in the Brooklyn, New York neighborhood of Marine Park on March 30, 2005. In the attack, a group of African-American teenaged girls from Marine Park High School chased six Caucasian girls off of a basketball court and through a park. The African-American girls reportedly physically harassed the girls while screaming such phrases as "honky bitches" and "white crackers." Five of them were arrested[1] and given probationary sentences after the mothers of those attacked wrote to the judge and quoting Nelson Mandela asked for compassion.[2]
