'racist' Between Black And White by emekson(m): 3:11pm On Aug 13, 2012
A ZIMBABWEAN teenager
was subjected to racist abuse
and assaulted by a British
couple which disapproved of
his relationship with their
daughter, who is white.
David and Frances Champion
also stalked Alfonce Ncube,
19, at a restaurant where he
worked and banged on the
door after they were shut out.
The couple, from Swansea,
South Wales, also attacked
their 17-year-old daughter,
Jane, because she had
"brought shame" on their
family by dating a black man,
a court heard.
On Monday, the couple were
jailed at the Swansea Crown
Court. David Champion was
sentenced to 12 months in
prison and his wife to nine
months after admitting
assault on their daughter.
David also admitted a charge
of racially aggravated assault
against Ncube. His wife, 47,
admitted using threatening,
abusive or offensive words or
behaviour to cause racially
aggravated fear or
provocation of violence
towards Ncube.
The couple were outraged
when they returned home to
find Jane in a "state of
UnCloth" with college
boyfriend Ncube, the court
heard. Champion, 50,
shouted racist abuse at the
Zimbabwean who came to
England aged eight, before
grabbing and kicking him as
he pushed him out of the
house.
He then grabbed his
daughter by her hair and
punched her. "He told her
she was destroying the family
and pushed her out of the
door, while shouting racist
language to describe Ncube,"
said Nicola Powell,
prosecuting.
Jane went to stay with her
grandmother but returned to
her parents in St Thomas,
Swansea, once the situation
had apparently calmed down.
But a month later her parents
challenged her over Ncube
when they returned from a
pub.
"David Champion asked his
daughter if she was still
seeing Ncube. When she told
him she was, he punched her
in the face. Miss Champion
said she felt huge pain to her
left eye but her father then
grabbed her by the throat
and continued hitting her,"
said Powell.
Frances began hitting her
daughter – causing swelling
on her face and lumps on
her head – yelling abuse at
the teenager saying: "You
deserve it. It’s all your fault."
The pair then went in search
of Alfonce who was "in
hiding" at the restaurant
where he worked. The couple
began shouting and were
removed from the restaurant
but Frances continued to
bang on a window.
John Hipkin, defending David
Champion, said: "It's not
excusable in any way, shape
or form. But the
circumstances in which he
found his young daughter
meant he reacted in a terrible
way. Lessons have been
learned. Georgina Buckley,
defending Frances Champion,
admitted it was
"disgraceful". She said: "She
accepts her actions were
fuelled by alcohol and that
she confronted her daughter
in a wholly unacceptable and
disgusting way.

A lot of whites, especially with little of no black population simply don't have an opinion on blacks. In areas with some or significant black population, there could be tensions. But those focusing their hatred towards a race and not a single person (that gave them trouble) are nothing but racist a$$holes. It does not matter if they are white, black... or even green.
