All will be silent and the hypocrisy of the black race will come to light in volumes. As if it hasn't already.

Oh really. Funny then it took 5 years for the state of Tennessee to sentence the 5 negros that maimed, butchered, sodomized and killed 2 innocent white college kids.

I understand that the society can't allow that sort of thing. But if I have sympathy for anybody in this case it's the poor guy who's going to at the least go to prison for most if not all of the rest of his life when he was just minding his own business, some punk kids messed with him, and he lost it. He didn't ask for the situation. They inflicted it on him. And he snapped. So now his life will never be the same.

Snot nosed punk kids running around messing with other people and thinking it's funny. Well it's not funny. Pricks.
He didn't ask for the situation, but he handled it poorly and made a very dumb decision that he has to pay for. Whatever happened to personal accountability? :roll:

The guy claims he fired a shot to try and scare the kids and ended up hitting one of them? Was he trying to shoot a hole in the kid's hairdo? What a moron.

Although the horrors inflicted upon Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom were luridly savage, the national news media was slow to pick up the story. Conservative commentators and right-wing blogs insisted that the crimes were being ignored by mainstream media out of a perverse sense of political correctness — simply because the victims were white and the suspects were black. TV pundit and conservative columnist Michelle Malkin said "There is a discomfort level with stories that have black assailants and white victims... If it doesn't fit some sort of predetermined narrative of how we view taboo subjects like race and crime, there's a disinclination to cover it."

On the "double standard" thing: I don't think there's any question that there is a general tendency to try to avoid casting Blacks in a bad violent light. One recent example is a student at a Canadian university being forced to apologize for simply posting an image from a video crafted by a light night show:

http://dailycaller.com/2014/02/17/stude ... se-racism/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you pay attention to things like TV commercials you will note that people who rob homes, etc., are always portrayed by White actors. I don't think that's chance. They are avoiding characterizing "common criminals" as Black. Same with commercials on things like identity theft. You see an ADT commercial and the guy breaking a door down is going to be White. You see a Lifelock commercial and all the identity thieves will be White.

I don't think there's any doubt about it. There is a cultural "pressure" to avoid the "Black criminal" impression. Of course it's not possible to avoid it completely because the reality is that Blacks are disproportionately involved in criminal activity and especially things like violent crime and theft. But there's no doubt that the effort to avoid depicting the reality is there.

Not quite. It didn't take 5 years for Tennessee to sentence them.

The crime took place in 2007.

One guy was sentenced in 2008, the others in 2009. Seems pretty normal.

They appealed their case and their appeals were overturned in 2013. Appeals are part of due process guaranteed by the Constitution... so, I'm not exactly sure why their being allowed to appeal their convictions is such a terrible thing?

This. Prisoners tend to have a lot of time on their handa, and a lot of them will file appeal after appeal just for something to do.

It's not the court system I'm talking about. I'm talking about the media. Black attacks on Whites are far more common than White attacks on Blacks are. But White attacks on Blacks tend to get far more media attention.

And, at the same time, there is a definite tendency on the part of the entertainment media as well as advertising media to avoid depicting Blacks as criminals.

Every point true in this post. :nod: So sorry it grates liberals' nerves.

I read a story earlier today about a young negro raping a 90 something year old white lady. That sort of thing happens with regularity and nobody bats an eye.

A white hispanic shoots a negro who ambushes him and it becomes a national headline.

I know- but the suggestion is that if Beck reports on it (whether sensationalized or not) automatically invalidates it

I read plenty of left wing sites because it is only common sense that in a world where the entire media has a political agenda, you have to go to both sides to get the whole story on anything.

There's a few posters on this board who could stand to try that out

There are very credible conservative sources. Glenn Beck isn't one of them.

Clowns, you come down here for next years repeat, for what, the 5th year in a row, and 6 of the last 8, and the bourbon is on me just to show there are no hard feelings about dropping three games to UNI in the last 10 years. :thumb:

it is true...
The U.S. Media (in general) avoids making big news out of black on white crime
It's apparently seen as kicking a group while they're already down - or something like that
