Would AyBeeeCee Nooz list the violent attacks on whites due to racism? This isn't about the attacks and phone calls to police, but the way the media selectively pays attention and shapes their narratives.

It's about the media.
Yeah, I get it's the media, I'm just frustrated by the inaneness of the whole thing altogether.

I just wonder where all of this bias the media has about these issues, what is their end goal here? Is it driven by some kind of white guilt? Why the need to push a story when the person is white and sorta downplay or not talk at all when a non-white person does something bad?

I'm really puzzled here. It's got to be some kind of SJW thing, I literally don't know.

Does this really need to be explained to you?

This woman assaulted another person. She was taken into custody and this is a criminal investigation.

What's to be outraged about? Outrage over this one woman??? Okay. BAAAAHHHH!!!! BOOOOO TO HER!

There, done.


Now, a white woman being so freaked out about black people that she calls the cops on them for having a BBQ....and that wasn't even a stand alone incident, there were several instances where white people were caught on camera calling the cops over blacks doing things that were "suspcious" like, you know, having a BBQ. There was no crime committed. No law broke. So it was several instances of racism out of fear.

This black woman who assaulted the white one is facing criminal charges.

The white people who called the cops for no reason on black people will not.

They are apples and oranges, and TBH, I think it says something about you that you compare the two.

If you want to take some free, unsolicited advice, you should get off the computer and go experience real people in the real world a bit more. Maybe go hang out with groups of people outside your own race. I think it'd do you good.

It needs to be explained to you. My whole point which I made again and again, and yes, again, was about the media, mainstream and social, how they are selective in their outrage.

And there are several (to say the least) incidences of violence against whites. Do you really want to compare? Do you still miss the point of how the MEDIA reports such instances?

The point, the whole point is about media reporting. Does it have to be repeated??

Anyone who has hatred for others only hurts themselves. I don't want to go through life having a negative mindset nor do I want to be around people who are like this. Negative people only bring everyone around them down, it is contagious. I got the negative people out of my life. Life it too short, no one is worth it and certainly not because of their skin color.

I never misunderstood. I was explaining to you why the media was "selective" as you call it.

My point was that a woman being arrested for assault and people calling the cops because black people are around are two totally different things. And, as I said, I think it says a lot about you that you think they are similar.

Again. To make it simple for you, there is NO "media outrage" because the woman committed a crime and was arrested. What is there to be outraged about?

Actually yes, please answer that question. Forget, for a moment, your silly whataboutist nonsense, and just answer that question. What should the media be outraged about? What should they be reporting on this matter? A woman committed a crime. That woman was arrested. The media reported it. What are we missing here?

The hate is all over the place. Honestly a more segregated society seems to be better. At least for now. If you look at racial maps, blacks live with blacks and whites live with whites when it comes to housing. For work it is a mix of people and that is where the problems are. At homes no issues for the most part except the occasional situation like that white girl murdered at her home recently by a bunch of blacks.

She's a nut that hates white people.

"A black woman is facing hate crime charges in Oregon for allegedly attacking a mom at a bus stop while saying that she hated “white people,” court documents show".
