Most of that doesn’t make national news because the media doesn’t care about any of it. When trouble makes its way into the suburbs, that’s when it becomes national news because of who it impacts.

Conversely, crimes that impact whites are depicted as headline news, utter tragedies, because the mainstream media plays up the misfortunes of white’s. Example ‘the crack epidemic’ versus ‘the opioid crisis.’ It’s a crisis because it affects suburbanites, and the addiction itself is treated with compassion, not by coincidence.

You seriously don’t realize this? I swear that comment made me spit up my latte!
I'm saying the national news is pushing the agenda I explained. How do you think all these petty stories always about a white person reporting a black person are getting into the national news? It's an agenda the media is running with right now.

I think the suspicion comes from the fairly widespread perception that black men are frequently absentee fathers that don't even take care of their OWN children , so what are they doing taking care of someone else's, let alone a white person's klds.

Hence....a suspicious circumstance.

Honestly, Donald Trump is mostly responsible for fanning these flames and setting the tone for most of this.

There’s been more coverage with regard to this type of thing lately, but it’s becase DT uses race to play on people’s insecurities and making race more of a topic than it should be.

This is the fallout and there’s sure to be more.

We're not allowed to be suspicious of males in regards to women and children if the male is black, only if he's white. You wouldn't want to be one of those racist white citizens suspicious of a black person featured in the national news would you? WOULD YOU ??

Two things...

1. Being a man didn't impact my ability to safely care for my nieces.

2. I look dynamite in red pumps.
Are you a crossdresser or you just played dress up with your nieces?? Lol
Regardless, you seem like a great relative and babysitter to have in the family.

I don't see color...I'm suspicious of everybody. I believe everyone, of all colors, is potentially up to no good, a potential robber/murderer/sex fiend and rapist.

Being black is barely an extra strike in my book. I might watch a bit more closely, but what is closer than "like a hawk"??

An eagle?

I'm going to be honest. I saw a young, 20 maybe year old guy with 2 very young white babies. Well, one was maybe 2, the other one just a few months old. It did catch me by surprise and I checked him out for a few seconds. But he wasnt acting or doing anything suspicious....In our hood a lot of people have nannies, and maybe he was one..or a boyfriend. Who knows.
I would never call the cops just because he was black or opposite sex.

Riiiight, its Trump's fault. Obama didn't spend 8 years telling us we're all racists born on third base thinking we hit a homer blah blah blah.

That has nothing to do with it!
