Why is this not making national headlines: White college student shot by 3 Blacks

Take a wild guess.

Perhaps because a white college student doesn't look like he could be Obammas' son?

It's highly unlikely that this was a random killing.

The guy looks like a junky and he probably owed them money. They probably warned him and then came back for him when he didn't pay up.

Eitrher way, say no to drugs.

You bigots love it when you can stir the pot and not be held accountable. I guarantee all that tough talk is never uttered in the presence of a black person. I also bet your favorite defense is " I have a black friend" or "racism works both ways"

You are pathetic.

The same question can be asked about many murders. If every person that that was killed on a daily basis made headlines, news papers would be thousands of pages long and there would be nothing but news stations on television. Why does every missing child not make headlines? Why is every person that gets raped or molested not news? Why isn't every murder, every case of domestic violence, spousal abuse or racism in the news? There is something unique and unusual about the stories that make headlines. You can quit with the white man as the victim BS.

Yes... some are choosing to relive the past of this country by using carefully chosen headlines for topic.

I can guarantee you're wrong. Why would I be afraid to discuss this topic in front of a black person? Are you suggesting that black people are prone to violence and I would be in fear for my safety? What's your favorite defense?
Maybe you say: "Forgive me. I forgot my meds this morning." My favorite defense when engaging with people like you is establishing that you can't ever have a reality based conversation with people like you.

I read this in my local paper yesterday. Who says it's not being covered (other than the OP).
