No, their 'race' shouldn't play a role, however if those were white women beating a black woman, it would no longer be just 'violence' but a racially motivated crime, regardless of what was done before. And racial violence is significantly different and more grievous in American jurisprudence if the attacker is white and victim is black.

Why do you say that?
Because it's the truth. Given, majority crime against black people are done by black people anyway, however, should white people attack black people for any reason, the reason immediately becomes invalid and the attack is racial. When it is the other way around, then all sorts of motives behind black attacking white are considered. This is just the reality in the US.

Just because conservatives define any debate in the so-called liberal media doesn't mean all black on white crime is swept under the reverse racism rug. I'm fairly certain 99% of all crime has nothing to do with race and factually goes unnoticed by either perspective.

Any news which makes it to the cable news channels typically ends up getting spin and that usually involves racism if the perp is white and the victim black. The reverse is rarely if ever brought up; that a white person is the victim of a race-motivated attack, although that's not to say it's entirely omitted. Just extremely rare because it's not interesting and doesn't fan the fires.
I heard it was 58% of all stats.
But it's true, it's very rare for black on white crime to be labeled as racially motivated. Look no further than the recent rash of these "knockout game" crimes. People are very hesitant to label them as racially motivated even though it's very possible that they often are.

I remember those being showcased on Fox News which I was watching since I was at my grandparents' house. THE END IS NIGH.
That brings up the opposite problem on the spectrum - those who are pathetically desperate to label every crime that they can as racially motivated, as those on Fox News are. It's important to remember that it is notoriously very difficult to really gauge a person's motivation much of the time.
Honestly, I don't think it should matter all that much. Malicious intent is what should matter, if that malicious intent is inspired by racism or just because the perpetrator is an angry dipshit, the punishment should be the same.

Feel free to put forward examples where the black attackers on white victims has been labelled and understood as racially motivated. Almost every crime involving a white attacker on black is labelled racist.
Do provide us with news articles where black assailant has harmed a white person and racial prejudice has been brought into question.
