No?

Okay. Well then, that's the main reason there hasn't been the same outcry.
Also, I've seen news reports of black teens flash-mobbing stores. There was a mostly-black mob of teens that went down Hollywood Boulevard a couple weeks ago robbing tourists and trashing stores. I saw them on major network TV.

So are you telling me the black lawyers, judges, police chiefs....that I know exist should never be on tv? Even when there were ore black characters in tv it hardly reflected reality at the time. Diversity in tv is far behind the reality in the US.

Don't forget, Zimmerman did not know he was white until the media told him.

This story of black brothers torturing and murdering whites in Wichita, KS in 2000 received very little news attention.

The Wichita Massacre, also known as The Wichita Horror,[1] was a murder/assault/rape/robbery spree perpetrated by brothers Reginald and Jonathan Carr against several people in the city of Wichita, Kansas in December 2000.

Wichita Massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think the media does not wish to identify criminals by their race, nor do they wish to publicize crimes committed by blacks, either against whites or against other blacks.

Why? The media is liberal and blacks vote heavily Democrat in political elections. Victimizing blacks has been the liberal strategy for decades.

The media doesn't identify criminals by race because the media has decided criminal is a euphemism for black.

Do they exist on TV in proportion to their levels in reality?

If TV reflected reality there would be a lot more shows a out office workers in the suburbs and way less shows about police, CIA, FBI, lawyers, spies and courtrooms.

Yes, its obvious. Even the disney channel panders to AA. Its laughable at times.

See the new Jamie Fox movie or how Mark Wahlberg is paired up with every AA actor in most of his recent movies.

The media is pro-antagonist.

I always love the hospital shows set in major American cities where there are basically only one Asian or Black or Hispanic character. You know, because every workplace can have only one black employee.
