"'This shouldn't happen anymore': White man beaten to a pulp in public square for dating African-American woman in Georgia

A Georgia man was left bloodied and bruised after he was brutally attacked for dating an African-American girl.

The interracial couple were strolling through Ellis Square, a public space in Savannah, shortly before midnight last Friday, when they say three black men began taunting them.


The provocation began as racial slurs, then the scoffers started blowing kisses and suddenly the trio jumped the boyfriend, Andrew Quade - who is white, beating him and leaving him barely conscious."

What is wrong with people? This is sad. I hope this gets prosecuted as a hate crime.

1. Will DoJ record this as a hate crime, investigate, and prosecute? nt

4. I hope they are prosecuted for a hate crime. Ignorance and bigotry is not confined to one race. n

13. Georgia does not not have a legal definition of "hate crime."

So, no go.

5. Bigotry is bigotry,

And this shit about 'protecting our women' goes on everywhere, including Israel and parts of Europe. It's revolting, and it's a throwback to a time I'd rather not return to, thank you.

9. I have lived in Georgia since 1989 and have never seen any instances of racism.

My two nieces are married to black men and have not experienced any racism events. And we all live in the Atlanta area. It is becoming quite common now to see interracial couples.

12. Atlanta tends to be a pretty nice place, though.

But this happened in Savannah. Kind of a different world, I think.

14. The very same thing happened to me in Tuskegee AL

I was helping a friend move there for school. Fortunately, she is a Black Belt and the tables were turned. They ran like scared Rabbits.
