Oh yes, you're absolutely right there. Everything doesn't make the news. But you also have to recognize the entirely unequal coverage given to black on white crimes in comparison to white on black crimes. Had this been 3 white males beating on 1 black male, it's quite possible it would have been news. Possibly even national news. The only time we hear stories about black people doing anything heinous these days is when the crime is just to big to ignore. The media is totally and completely one sided and has been for quite some time. Anything that you can put on the news to make white people look racist will make the news. Yes, there are racist white people out there. But guess what, contrary to popular belief, black people can be and are racist too. I for one have grown tired of hearing the statement "black people can't be racist" How ignorant do you have to be to make such a statement? Anyone and everyone, no matter your color, has the potential to be a racist. To say otherwise is simply ridiculous and wrong and just another way to try and make the "racist" white man seem like some sort of abnormality that exists no where else. I have personally experienced racism directed toward me by black people. We are not talking about big foot here folks. Racist black people do exist.
Ehhhh...what's with the stream of consciousness manifesto?
Ok...there are black racists. Soooo....what am I supposed to do with that information?
Wheres Big Al Sharpton and Sweet Jeese Jackson the two false prophets on this matter ?
See how some here posting say stupid things to justify a brutal attack ...by the way I like your CD name Patton was one of my heroes growing up.
Yeah, good old Jesse and Al are silent when their own tribe commit the crimes.
Thanks, by the way. Patton was a real American, as far as I'm concerned. A hero of mine too.
Yes, it was incorrect, but the basic premise stays the same. The national media doesn't cover 120 violent crimes in any year. Please list some violent crimes that received national coverage. This should be extremely enlightening.
It also doesn't change that there are over a 1million violent crimes committed in this nation every year. Only a tiny, tiny fraction of those cases receives national media attention.
So again, finding a violent crime that didn't receive national media attention is the norm and not indicative of some ulterior motive, because 99.99% of violent crimes in America don't receive any national media coverage.
You're still trying to explain away the lack of coverage on Newsom/Christian. Read about it and explain to me why something as harrowing and heinous as that didn't make national headlines.
Shall I post up a video of hundreds of white people ready to pounce on ONE black man for integrating a university?
Imagine that...hundreds...maybe even a few thousand ready to jack up ONE black man.
Yep...that's what I thought.
Oh...whose nerve got touched now?
YOU'RE the one that decided to tell me all about your crappy hometown...I didn't solicit any information about it. You're the one that told me to jump on some highway that's a few thousand miles from me just so I could see how you guys dealt with "home invaders" (a.k.a. double wide invaders) and now you say that I told you what was happening in your hometown?
Nonsense. I said no such thing.
I almost spit out the water I was drinking when I read this. Funny...
It wasn't racism, it was snitches getting stitches. If you insist on making this a battle cry for the White movement, then have a pro White rally with crosses and all.
It will never happen. Sharpton puts food on his table by stirring the pot in the black community.

Ok.... Do you think hate crime laws makes assault a legal act? I don't understand.
No! Assault is assault!!! PERIOD!!!! Enforce the God damned laws that you have, and stop trying to make new ones! JEEZ!!!

Yeah, conservatives this, conservatives that! Why don't you take off your damn partisan blinders for once?
