Again, why the identity politics in criminal cases in the news? I don't see any intellectual honesty in lamenting over the background of a particular criminal or psychopath. Of the current examples, focusing on the fact that child rapist A was black and child rapist B was a homosexual is completely pointless, not to mention that it's downright insensitive to the respective minority groups that it borderlines maliciousness, which to me comes off as bigotry and exclusivity. It's pandering to white middle class heterosexual Protestants who commit the most unspeakable of crimes, and the media does little but lament themselves how such a fine upstanding community type could possibly be such a degenerate. :rolleyes: Racism my friend, exists consciously and unconsciously.

Notice the LACK of a certain type of information? The media does this shit every day down here. If the police are looking for a white male rapist in the area they will say white male. if its a black male they will only mention the he is a male with brown eyes.




Hahaha, when I was down in the city last, I had my scanner with me. They just had a hullabaloo about "Racism", so the pigs were like "suspect has brown eyes, brown curly hair, 7 feet tall" GEE I WONDER?

I don't care that it could be a Black on white crime.

Its the Media Bias in reporting white on black crime vs. the reporting on black on white crime.
its bullshit. and apparently I'm not the only one who has noticed.

For example look at the way Durham community (Duke Case) went out of its way to inject race as an issue in the Lacrosse case where none apparently existed.

If the race doesn't matter, how come it always seems to "not matter" i n favor of the bias that lonestar and I so clearly see.  I mean, when white police shoot a negro, "WHITE OFFICERS KILL BLACK MOTORIST", even when the motorist 'deserved' what he got, they've got to mention race.  but it rarely "not matters" the other way.... odd, hm

I've never seen the phrase "white officers" or "black motorist" in a news headline.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q="black+motorist"&sa=N&tab=nw

First one...
CNN -White officer acquitted in death of black motorist - Nov. 13 ...
http://www.cnn.com/US/9611/13/verdict/

And, like I should have added so that I could insert a "toldja so!" right here. Race has relatively little to do with it. It's not as if it were based off of the plot from Mississippi Burning, a scuffle occured and a person died. So, again, are you seeing the pattern? When it doesn't matter and they just want a good headline or a ticker for the bottom of the news shows, well hey, why not at least give it the initial pretense that it might be something racial, only if the "victim" is black and the perpetrators are white?



Second one...
CNN - White ex-officer guilty in black motorist's death - March 19 ...

Again, nothing racial, but if a WHITE man kills a black man, you better be damn sure you mention the race!


Do you honestly think that their isn't any discrepancy in the reporting of the news? That when a black commits a crime against a white, especially a violent crime, the race isn't given as much attention as when it happens in reverse?


Oh, something funny, reverse the terms, serach for "black officers" and "White motorists", nothing but stories of how, guess what, black police men have shot white motorists. Haha, just kidding, no way in hell would it be about that! It's all black officers organizatrions and black officers complaning about "Racism" When you google white motorists, it's all about, hey guess what, how white motorists are given a ride but BLACK MOTORISTS are horribly oppressed. Gee, thats just really odd that not ONE SINGLE news story exists with the phrase "white motorist" and "black officers". I guess it's just because so man white people commit crimes against black people, or something. Certainly no media bias there.

Do you live in a mostly black neighborhood? Do you have specifically bad experiences with black people? I'm wondering why you seem to focus on them.

Swept under the rug?  It's on CNN, how is that "swept under the rug"?  Do you mean the all-important issue of their skin color and ethnic background is "swept under the rug"?  :confused:

What is the purpose of mentioning the ethnic background of accused criminals or victims of crime?  Does it add to our understanding of the crime?  Does it help us avoid becoming victims of crime?  Does it better our society?

Crimes occur between individuals, not between ethnicities.

Quite the opposite. To be honest here, I really don't have a problem with the specific black people that I know. Sure, some did seem to go down the "wrong path", ended up with a crapload of kids, a baby daddy who don't be luvin dem right, whatever. It's just the massive glossing over of the truth that I have a problem with. For example, based on the number of college women who are raped by blacks, I'd like to be able to tell my daughter to watch myself at parties with lots of black males. However, that news is buried and news that alleges, or even can be spun to seem, RACISM, that of a white taking advantage of a non-white, well, Top Story Of the Day on every network. Interviews with everyone who ever knew anyone who ever met the "WHITE RAPISTS", sympathy stories for the "black victim". Seems that it always happens that way and it never happens the other way.

The point is, when it's white people perpetrating a crime against a minority, even if the crime has nothing to do with race, it's blasted out over the airwaves.  Would you like to compare how many hours of TV were devoted to the Duke Rape "Scandal" with thise 11 year old being gang-raped?  Hell, the duke rape scandal wasn't even true!  The odds that this 11 year old girl is lying (and somehow managed to obtain DNA from 2 of the victims) are staggeringly small.  So why is it that the media only mentions the race when it seems to fit a certain story-line that they prefer?

No, your not. I notice it also. The masses are controlled by the media, who controlls the media? Im just trying to figure out why the news media has this agenda of demonizing white people.

I don't dare speak the truth however, otherwise I would be labelled the R-word, then I would be fucked!!!

Ahhh the all mighty race card.

Every day I could post a new one.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060717/ap_on_re_us/girls_beaten

Associated Press
Mon July 17, 2006



BOSTON - A member of a prominent white family was acquitted Monday of civil rights violations in an attack on two black girls at a downtown subway station but found guilty of assault.

Josiah Spaulding III, whose grandfather founded Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and headed the state Republican Party, faces up to 20 years in prison.

He was convicted of two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon but acquitted of four civil rights and constitutional violations in the Nov. 22, 2002, attack. Suffolk Superior Court Judge Charles Spurlock heard the case without a jury and set sentencing for Aug. 25.

Spaulding, 26, was among a group of nine people who argued with three black teenagers inside the subway station.

Witnesses testified that he never uttered a racial epithet during the confrontation but that his girlfriend did. The witnesses said one of the black teens responded by pushing Spaulding's girlfriend, hitting her with a bottle and choking her.

Spaulding pulled out a collapsible metal baton and hit the girl on the back of the head, according to the witnesses. He also hit a second girl who was not involved in the confrontation, they said.

Prosecutors had described Spaulding as a "skinhead" and said they found Nazi paraphernalia and white supremacist literature in a locker he rented.

In his ruling, the judge rejected defense claims that Spaulding was defending his girlfriend, but also said prosecutors had not shown the attack was racially motivated.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060717/ap_on_re_us/girls_beaten

WTF........

the AP made sure to point out that it was a white family.

What the FUCK does the fact that his grandfather was the head of the Republican Party of Boston have do do with anything else in this article????

And what did the girls who STARTED the VIOLENCE get ????

They hit his girlfriend with a bottle and started choking her when he got involved.


Interesting how they skipped over the father of the guy. His Father is a respected member of the arts community.
Josiah Spaulding Jr.

Josiah Spaulding Jr.: Wang Center for the Performing Arts

Heading one of the cityÂ’s most recognizable cultural institutions requires vision, leadership, and a good deal of tenacity — all three of which have served Joe Spaulding well for years. Since 1987, when he was named general manager, president, and CEO of the Wang Center, Spaulding has expanded the theaterÂ’s programs, increased box-office sales, and raised millions of dollars to preserve the WangÂ’s historic home. Today, he remains one of the cityÂ’s most staunch supporters of the arts community.

I don't like seeing these horrible crimes on the news anyway, gewt rid of them all together! It does no good but feed the intrigue to the masses. My problem with race&media is when all these little black girls that get kidnapped in my hometown don't ever get a fuckin peep outa the local news UNTIL their found dead. Its so depressing. What just rubs it in is when they have the nation-wide amber alert as soon as some middle-upper-class white girl gets picked up. To prove my point I challenge you all to post up national news stories on missing black children, and for every-one (if there even is one) I will post 10.
