The Douglasville Six case, McDade insists, in no way detracts from his long-standing track record. McDade says that critics are merely playing the proverbial race card. “I think there is an attempt to shy away from a focus on the specifics of this case by some who would like to use any case to create racial disharmony in this community,” he says. “I think the members of the black community should stand up and say, ‘We don’t condone the behavior of these young men.’” Had he not pursued charges against the boys, his critics could have just as easily chastised him for failing to protect the rights of the two black females. “I’m standing up for African-American victims in this case, as I would for any white victim,” says McDade, an alum of Douglas County High, where he played baseball. “Calling me a racist denigrates the people who are victims in this case.”

I pulled this excerpt from Atlanta Magazine. McDade is the District Attorney. The 'victims' are both African American.
The article is actually very good. You should check it out. It also speaks to the publicity that Marcus Dixon (the young man from about 2 years ago) and the lack of publicity this case is getting.
ETA: I don't think McDade is in a position to tell the black community what they should do, but I do think that ALL of our children--male and female--need to be protected--sometimes from themselves, sometimes from others that look like them, and sometimes from a racist system. We as a people should be just as outraged in any of these situations.
