There’s a reason for that.

A five year old girl who had done nothing wrong was wantonly murdered as she sat on the lap of her grandfather. You haven’t heard about it? That’s not surprising; while the Al Sharptons and the Jesse Jacksons of the world posture and bloviate about violence and a lack of respect for human life that permeates communities, they routinely keep quiet about attacks that happen every single day in America unless the victim was a person of color and there are television cameras pointed at them.
You see, the left isn’t interested in telling the story of the murder of Laylah Petersen because Petersen doesn’t fit the preferred narrative. What I mean is: Petersen was white.
While sitting on her grandfather’s lap, a hail of bullets rang throughout the house in a mostly-black neighborhood in Milwaukee. Reports indicate that two black males went to the door of the house and opened fire on the house that belonged to Laylah’s grandparents.
The neighborhood in which Laylah’s grandparents lived is 77% black and only 14% white.
Of course, nobody will ever know the true motive behind this heinous crime; but then again, nobody bothered to ask about the motive before Sharpton, Jackson, Attorney General Eric Holder and the partisan media pounced on the shooting deaths of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. All they knew is that a black person was killed by a white (or, in the case of Martin, a Hispanic) person. All other facts melted away in the early moments of rage and rhetoric and little Laylah Petersen lies dead and the race-hustlers and dividers don’t give a… darn.
Even if we account for the conflicting version of events surrounding the deaths of Martin and Brown, we can see that the issue is more-complicated than originally suspected. Brown had just robbed a store and allegedly attacked police officers. Martin had allegedly scuffled with George Zimmerman and went for Zimmerman’s gun.
What the hell could Laylah Petersen possibly have done? She was five years old and sitting on her grandfather’s knee in the relative safety of her grandparents’ home. Was she a Crip from a rival set? Did she owe bookies money? Had she perpetrated a drive-by earlier in the day and this shooting was retaliation? All highly unlikely scenarios… So, I ask again: where are the supposed defenders of innocent life? Where are the race-hustlers demanding a full accounting of what is being done to see that justice is done?
Somehow, I can’t help but believe that this would receive more attention if Laylah wasn’t white.
There’s a reason for that.
It’s sickening! They know a large number of their people are hateful violent monsters, yet they keep stoking the fire.
White lives don’t matter.
Clearly she disrespected them and got what she deserved. (sarc)
That would be a 'white' Hispanic...
Where is the Rev. $harpton?
Too good for this world.
Damn these savages to hell. I’ll be surprised if Sharpton or Jackson will say the same about these murderers of an innocent 5 year-old.
No need to mention the race of Vaughn Mathis, the murderer.

AMEN.
This occurred around the time of Zimmerman. Obviously the perp got a real slime ball defense attorney. I Don’t recall that there was much news coverage on the Alphabet channels.
That one is stunning.....and all too true.
NOW is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country
Oh, okay then. She's alive.
Thank you much.
This is a terrible thing to happen.
But whites who live as a 14% minority in a “black neighborhood” are bound to be harmed by black racists sooner or later.
It gets worse when the leftists race bait whitey and the NOI is given voice to call for the murder of whites. You have no idea when they are going to drop the death hammer on your head when in live in the hood. Don’t live in majority black areas.
