Why is the media not mentioning race?

Question

Why hasn't the media even mention racism in the recent case involving a black beating two white women?
I have a list of over 170 such cases just in the last year, that NEVER mention race when it's Black on white. I also have 76 examples where when its white on black, race is ALWAYS mentioned.

Kiwi, my point is that EVERY single time it's white on black theres always the quetion being asked"could this have been racially motivated?" Every time!
But when it's the other way around they ask" why would anyone do this??/" clueless! I'm tired of it.

ONE black man, TWO white women.
Why do I have the list? Because last year I got tired of hearing and and kept a list so that I could prove it to myself that I just wasn't imagining it. Each time I here a new one I want to become more of a racist. It's hard not to be. The media is the one that keeps it going.
as far as the 76 white on black being racist??? ZERO

Answer 1

One reason....

The Sharpton/Jackson combo!

If whites mention this in the media, they will jump on it, distort it and further blame the whites for provoking it.

Answer 2

Just curious, why do you have a list of this?

I am not familiar with the specific event that you are talking about with the 2 black men beating a white woman, but possibly it was not racially motivated. I don't want to sound like I am racially stereotyping but, I don't think "racism" is top on the list for crimes committed against whites. I can think of several other motivators. I don't know where you live, but I live in a metro area of Houston and violence is real common. I read about fighting every single day in my local paper and I rarely hear that it was racially motivated, unless the attackers were affiliated with a white extremist group or if the other way around another racial extremist group.

Let me ask you seriously, on your list there, how many of those 76 white on other race- do you really think weren't racially motivated????

Answer 3

reread how you worded your question. you said that the media rarely reports race when it's black-on-white crime.

then how do YOU know what the races of the people were? obviously the races were mentioned SOMEWHERE.

you also said, "why hasn't the media even mentioned racism in the recent case...?" can you please establish that RACISM was involved?

hate crimes and race crimes are identified by the use of hate speech during the crime. they are also identified by patterns of prior crimes that may indicate racial motivation.

example: last summer in my town, three or four gay men who were leaving the gay pride festival were beaten. the police had to determine if it was a hate crime or a regualr assault. after finding out that the attackers yelled "fag" and other slurs before the men were attacked, it was concluded that the crimes were in fact "hate crimes."

you will need to dig deeper than collecting a few clippings and internet blurbs of crimes involving victims and perpetrators of different ethnicities. you will need to research all of the cases you listed and find out: was hate speech involved? was there a racial pattern in the pepetrator's prior crimes?

the fact that a vicitm and a perpetrator in a certain crime case are of different ethnicities does not indicate a racially motivated crime. it just means that people of different backgrounds were involved.

someone as savvy as you should know that the american media is VERY limited. you can't base your whole opinion on a single mention of a news story.

i'm almost inclined to say you have a legitimate argument here, but it doesn't seem as though you've done the research into all of these cases.

Answer 4

I guess they want to be 'politically correct', but it's even worse in my opinion. there are a lot of a$$holes around, white, black, yellow or blue, and I don't think race has anything to do with it. Most times it isn't even racism, it's just stupidity and ignorance.

Answer 5

you don't watch or read much news do you? why don't you read up on your sh** and then get back to us with a solid defense. If what you were saying made an ounce of sense someone more important than yourself would be in an uproar and it would be plastered all over this so called news you mention. get a life and focus on something more important.

Answer 6

Does it serve any good purpose to mention race in either of these situations? I doubt it.

Answer 7

well, for the most part white people (that is if you consider jewsih people white) control the media. So they have only themsleves to blame if it is true.

It seems to me that the media refrains from calling out racism in either case.
