The above is a picture of Philip Savopoulos. He was ten years old when he was stabbed and burned.

You might remember the Michael Brown shooting. Here's a recap of how the story was handled in the media:

NBC News

Michael Brown, an unarmed black teen, was shot and killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri.
USA Today
FERGUSON, Mo. — A friend who was walking beside black teenager Michael Brown when he was killed by a white police officer says the unarmed 18-year-old victim was shot "like an animal."
Washington Post
What you need to know about the death of an unarmed black teenager in Missouri
CNN
Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot dead on August 9 by Darren Wilson, a white police officer.
NY Times
Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot and killed on Aug. 9, by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, in Ferguson, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis.
USA Today
A look back at the ongoing unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, since the death of Michael Brown. The unarmed black teen was shot and killed by a white police officer.
Now, with that as a background, let's look at this:

The Savopoulos family was murdered not long ago in Washington DC. The murders were gruesome and heinous. Four people were bound and at least three, including a ten year boy, were stabbed.

Here is another description from CBS.

Here is another from CNN.

And one from Yahoo.

CBS News

See if you can figure out what's missing from all of them.

If it isn’t exploitable it doesn’t matter.

So this is why former Attorney General Holder said the Americans are afraid to talk truth about race..

These stats also no doubt make it even more difficult for the race-grievance industry, the Obama-Holder demagogues, and the MSM employes to talk honestly about race.

see FR thread for federal crime stats tables in one table and sources

The media deliberately and intentionally, with full knowledge, suppresses facts in their reporting in order to preserve the racial animosity they love so much.

The narrative since I was a teen in the sixties was that whites were always doing bad things to blacks and never the other way around. EVIL WHITEY was responsible for ALL!!! black problems. EVIL WHITEY owed black people, who were all innocent angels, for eternity.

Today nothing has changed. Even though the narrative has long been debunked as a bitter joke played on gullible white people by the leftist media, it is still the narrative of Big Lib Media. No matter how many innocent white people are murdered by black thugs, the media refuses to change the narrative.

race only matters when it can be used to stoke white guilt. whites kill blacks only because of racism. Blacks kill for many reasons since they are not capable of racism.....if you believe the white guilt media.

The post-Obama version:

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will be judged only by the color of their skin."
