Would they list descriptions of each of the 20 attackers? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully they have some good witness accounts who can work with the police to find these attackers.

It's one of those media trick things that everybody knows but nobody talks about because it's impolite to point out the obvious.



Despite the fact that white people are actually under-represented in all violent crime and even underrepresented in terms of hate crimes, the media spares no opportunity to convince POC in America that they should live in constant physical fear from white Americans.
If this was 20 whites attacking a black couple it would be reported hourly until the racist Nazi KKK members were caught and their trial televised on every major news network.

It's one of those media trick things that everybody knows but nobody talks about because it's impolite to point out the obvious. However, even if we can agree on a reason (not wanting to stoke racist fears) the courtesy is certainly never extended in the opposite direction. Instead, the color of a white perpetrator - especially against a non-white victim - becomes a central theme of the story, rather than something incidental.


This, despite the fact that white people are actually under-represented in all violent crime and even underrepresented in terms of hate crimes, the media spares no opportunity to convince POC in America that they should live in constant physical fear from white Americans.

Yeah....you are absolutely right. That is how it is.....AND THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE!!!! This is a consequence of Americas history. You don't like it....you are free to leave the country because you can't change history. If YT had not done so much racial bad in the past.....you would not have this issue today.



Learn to accept it

I get it....you all want all the benefits from the past.....but not the liabilities from the past. It's a package deal though. We live with freedoms that we personally did not earn, due to the sacrifices of people in the past who are no longer living. That is a benefit that is passed to/inherited to all citizens of this nation, regardless of role played in creating the freedoms or not. The past also witnessed centuries of racial oppression. The result of that past, its liabilities, is now a burden upon the present.



Yes, there is a double standard born from the fact that blacks cannot racially oppress whites in this nation and blacks have not racially oppressed whites in this nation. The potential threat to blacks from whites is MUCH, MUCH greater than the potential threat to whites from blacks. Just think of the extreme. If blacks declared war against whites in this nation what would happen to black people? Who would win that war? It would be no contest because whites have the power to crush black people numerically, economically, geographically...AND HAVE DONE SO IN THE PAST!!! Blacks have no such power to be a threat to whites. Its like asking "why can that 5 year old punch an adult but an adult cannot punch a 5 year old". Double standard. The numbers and economic power of whites in this country, relative to blacks, is akin to the difference in power between a 5 year old and a full sized adult.

Lol, no.

The way things are now will not stay that way. You're already seeing the rejection of your worldview wholesale by the younger generation (Z), who are eschewing the woke PC nonsense of white liberals and POC such as yourself whose entire identity and persona is wrapped up in your minority status. I mean, they just burned this race baiting b****'s book at a University who was giving yet another boring lecture on "white privilege." Glorious turnabout!




And that's sad, because once your type loses the tenuous social capital you have built up from being a minority in a victimization-obsessed culture, you'll have nothing else of value to offer.

(This is much like how your ancestors had nothing else of value to offer the world when the Arabs and Europeans came knocking looking to trade...so they sold your granddaddy across the ocean for some trinkets. And yet you still mad at "YT". Indentured Servant, indeed.)

I'm not taking a view on anything here until Green Mariner posts.
Then the main question will be answered ...
