Local news, white attackers, and black victims.
The biggest difference is black-on-white violence is many times more common than white-on-black. This is bad enough as it is. But what makes it even worse (and worthy of mention) is that the media narrative would paint an entirely different picture.

And FWIW, the girl whose mugshot is in the top-left of the picture from the link you posted is clearly nonwhite. So it's not four white attackers, but three (at most). Since my claim is not that white-on-black crime never happens (though it's certainly far less frequent than black-on-white crime), posting an example of it does not address my claims, certainly not when you try to minimize the story I posted by saying this one was more violent. Well, okay, if you want to go there, you'll have to address the greater prevalence of black-on-white crime in the first place.

I generally don't expect anyone to take up our race, except for us, of course. But white people have been bullied into submission by the leftist media and academic establishments, so very few really do, whereas all the races are accorded this latitude.

I could ask you if you were disgusted by the rampant murders of whites (particularly farmers) in South Africa, since the magnitude of that easily eclipses that of the story you posted. FARMITRACKER

I could also say you'd never say a thing about it if I didn't bring it up. See, it works both way. Now, if you try to shift the goalposts by claiming all this is some sort of consequence of the historical actions of Europeans (because I've debated this enough to know what kind of argument usually comes next), even that must be considered in a broader context. Slavery, for instance, was nearly ubiquitous. Many whites were enslaved, most notably by Arabs. Africans also enslaved one another and sold other African slaves to Europeans. Europeans have arguably had more luck in the past, and the reality of the universe is that, as a zero-sum game, it comes at some else's expense. But don't think for a moment the whole world would be singing Kumbaya without Europeans around. Nature abhors a vacuum, after all.

Why would he? Why would he want to talk about hard to support controversies out of nowhere, particularly on the Unhappy thread on the Weather forum.

Yeah. Honestly this topic is a bit tired by this point.

Not sure I'm going to feed you anything now. At least not without my holy water in my hand....

Many times more? And the VAST majority of violence is intra-racial. Address that.

Although I disagree with this statement, I won't get started on the mainstream media, I feel bad for anyone who relies solely on those biased nut jobs for their news.

I didn't minimize the story you posted, I asked you a simple question while simultaneously refuting your nonsensical claim that a similar white-on-black incident would be international news.

When will the oppression cease?

Here you go with the "us vs them" mentality. Are you unable to empathize with others, regardless of their species, race, or other trivial characteristics?

You could, I don't live in metro Philadelphia, nor do I watch their local news.

Yeah, I'm sure this instance of black-on-white crime is payback for all the bad that Caucasians have done since their inception.
