Last month, a young Tennessee couple was abducted by three black men. They were held for days, tortured, raped and finally murdered.
Channon Christian was forced to watch as her boyfriend, Chris Newsom, was gang raped, beaten, had his penis hacked off and then set on fire.
She was then gang raped, sodomized, tortured - her breasts cut off - and finally had a household cleaning product forced down her throat.
Not a peep from the media.
Remember James Byrd? Sure you do - he was the black man that was dragged to death behind that pickup truck in Texas. That was front page news, every TV station picked it up and the New Black Panthers made a point of denouncing the entire white race over the incident. It was a major news event.
Why not this? This is a far more heinous event, but guaranteed, if not for this question, none of you would know about this.
Were they the wrong color?
