This story got about 2 days of coverage. A young black gay man was "hazed" until he died at Florida A&M University, a school made up of mostly young African-American students.
Word got out he was gay, and the media shut up. A few days later, the parents of Champion came out and said "Oh, we don't think he was killed because of his sexual orientation." And the "culture" of hazing at Florida A&M's band was blamed.
Uh huh.
Didn't see Al Sharpton too upset at Robert's death. Didn't see kids walking out of school. And when Governor Rick Scott suggested changing the school's leadership over this incident, he was met with a Sanford-like MOB who called him a racist.

Something is changing in the souls of black Americans these days. It seems like every other day you hear stories that sound more and more radical, more and more similar to Islamic extremism.

Absolutely disgusting. Whatever his sexual preferences may have been, nobody deserves to die like that.
Lock the killers up and throw away the key.

Its like rock, paper, scissors. Black beats gay. Islam beats black and gay. All beat straight whites.
