At least they reported it so it could be addressed.

Knowledge is power. With holding it from the people is criminal.
If I'm not mistaken weren't you implying that America is changing and we need to go back to the America of old? If not, what did you mean by your statement about Uncle Sam?

Would not history give black people enough motive to have done such already? I mean, In historical context, the Zimmerman verdict is nothing. Besides, is not the Zimmerman verdict off set by a "black president"? I mean, now that America has a black president, with all studies showing that blacks feel more optimistic because of that event alone, why would black people be MORE angry with whites than before?

To me this is just paranoia among whites concerning the "slave revolt" that never happened...that whites still fear will happen as "Pay back". If not that, then whites are PROJECTING.

You don't think there would be some serious national attention if the races were reversed?
The mathematical probabilities have already been discussed. Mathematically, with a 5:1 ratio of whites to blacks, it makes mathematical sense that random acts of violence would result in a higher percentage of black crimes impacting whites than the percentage of white crimes impacting blacks. Then add to that fact that the violent crime rate among blacks is much higher than it is among whites, then it makes even more sense that we see such statistics as integration increases.

I think whites have been spoiled in that segregation and tougher laws against black crimes against whites insulated whites from a lot of black crime. However, now as society is integrating more and sentencing of crimes by blacks against whites are not given much higher jail time, if not death, you see more black crime impacting whites.

I say get used to it. Equal opportunity crime.

As a Chicagoan... what cover up?

40 Black teens get killed and they're thrown into the news as a talking point.

1 White person gets killed and you want that as a front page story?

Why is that 1 White life worth so much more than the dozens of Blacks that get killed and get no more than a passing mention as an unnamed contributor to a statistic?

Of course. The media wants to keep up the whole "racism" thing. Of course on the other hand, more black people die at the hands of other blacks in America than do white people.

For months, ONE dead black teen dominated the news...for one reason only....because he was killed by a white male. Black teens killed by other black teens, just another day in the hood. One white person gets killed? It might be front page news, but if he is killed by a black person, it is usually not mentioned, or buried.

Americans are obsessed with race.

As the story reports. The first question of 911 operator's and Peace officers is to ask skin color of the perp.

Yet the news media finds it a non issue... unless of course you are white or light latino and the crime is against a black person.

Newspapers directed: Cover up black violence
On the contrary, black on whites crimes get the most attention of all. Black on white crimes lead to lurid front page headlines, full-page stories, extended coverage. Look how much attention that assault on white motorists by a black bike gang in New York got.

It is usually black on black crime that gets ignored, or at best treated very briefly.

What planet have you been living on where black on white crime doesn't get reported?

That got coverage because it had free footage... and the lamestream hates to lose out to Youtube. Oh and the victim was an Asian, not a white guy, and one of the perps was a cop. Nice touch huh...

Did you read the article in the OP? News outlets are telling their Peeps to not report.

That is what it is about, try to find accurate comparisons, rather than insult Aliens.

Americans are obsessed with race.
He was front page for months b/c the shooter wasn't arrested for shooting an unarmed teen. There have been dozens of White-on-Black shootings that never get a blip. It's amazing how much you Conservatives ignore that little fact.

Dozens of White-on-Black shootings happen that never make any kind of news. You have to willingly put on blinders to see that case as being covered b/c it looked racist and NOT b/c it's somehow possible to shoot an unarmed teen and not even spend the night in jail. The case wasn't even covered until the relentless agitation by his mother.
