Is it because in this video you can clearly see he is black?
Warning this is very disturbing!

They never do. Had it been a white who did it -esp if the 101 year-old was a black woman, there would be rioting in the streets with Jesse Jackass making his usual extortionist demands. It would have been international news and the footage would be in the public archieves for 100 years -to be shown over and over again. More proof that blacks have speical rights.

In sociology class we talked about the list of socially appropriate story subplots- the stories that news stations will play. When you stop and think about it- they really only do show these kinds of stories.
1. The helpless white female.
2. The angry, law-breaking black man.
Things like that. When you watch the news, there are very clear racially-based stories that can really make you angry. That's why I don't watch the news.

It is only ok to mention the race of the criminal if the criminal is not black. Since this is obviously a ***** it won't be allowed on the news.

I'm guessing the same reason the case of a white couple having sex in from of their 11 year old child (to show and explain sex) was not mentioned in the media....they were white....

It is shocking....old age & helplessness are the focal point in selling (by the media).
