Black Muslim Teen Beaten Following Obama Win
--------------------------------------------



Here in New York, a black Muslim teenager appears to have suffered a
post-election hate crime from whites angered at Obama’s victory.
Seventeen-year-old Ali Kamara of Staten Island says he was walking home
when four white men started attacking him. Kamara says the assailants
yelled “Obama” as they kicked and beat him with a baseball bat. The NYPD
is investigating the attack as a hate crime.
