to Increased Attacks on Black Males?"
Better be careful on this. More attention to attacks on black males can lead to more attention to attack on whites.
Right now the media is at about 90% on white on black crimes, but only at 10% on black on white crimes.
Remember Christopher Newsome and Channon Christian?
Thought not!
They were the white teenage couple in Knoxville kidnapped, raped, tortured and killed by three blacks in 2007.
You didn’t see any demonstrations on their behalf. You certainly didn’t see a “hoodie” parade. This was a squelched story by the main stream media for fear of massive race riots.
Here’s what had happened to them, according to WIKI:
According to the testimony of the Knox County Acting Medical Examiner Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan at the subsequent trial of Eric Boyd, Newsom was repeatedly sodomized with an object and then blindfolded, gagged, arms and feet bound and his head covered. Barefoot, he was either led or dragged outside the house to a set of nearby railroad tracks. He was shot in the back of the head, the neck, and the back, and his body then set on fire.
Channon’s death came only after hours of sexual torture, medical examiner Mileusnic-Polchan testified. Channon suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus and mouth. She was not only raped but savaged with “an object,” possibly a broken chair leg, the doctor testified. She was beaten in the head. Some type of chemical was poured down her throat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, likely scrubbed with the same solution - all while Channon was alive, the forensic expert said. She was then “hog-tied,” with curtains and strips of bedding, her face covered tightly with a small trash bag and her body stashed inside five large trash bags before being placed inside a large trash can and covered with sheets. Channon died slowly, suffocating, the medical examiner said.
The perps were granted new trials last December because of judicial misconduct.
Before we get sobby about Trayvon Martin, better review the Knoxville outrages.
I am waiting for the evidence that race was the determining factor here. Also, the fact the shooter is a minority makes this all the more bizarre.
This case is a tragedy and Zimmerman seems to bear some responsibility, but this is being turned into something it is not.
Now this is being turned into a cultural lynching of Zimmerman, and I predict we may see riots over this.
I guess we’re now supposed to see a war between hispanics and blacks? Many people don’t seem to see what this is being turned into and why.
Would black people care about this case if the victim was white? Don’t think so.
“...laid bare the “grisly” facts we are just now coming to terms with...”
The real *facts* haven’t come out yet, from the Police Report and other investigators, according to what I’ve read. There is more to this than the initial, race-biased news reports.
Steele is a lowlife, RINO, bottom-feeding, race-baiter. IMO.
“There, I said it!” (Mark Levin)
Yet they are silent about the constant killings in Chicago of young black men, women, and children perpetrated by other blacks..gee ya think if they really cared about crime they would try to stop the violent that is non-stop over there
‘What are you doing here.’
A person that feels he has the right to beat someone for asking that is an animal.
And the people who encourage that attitude are worse.
It is odd that Michael Steele didn’t bother to mention that Zimmerman is hispanic, but did mention the race of the three WHITE boys in the Mississippi attack.
Also, how many black boys were killed by other black boys on the weekend that Martin was kiled by Zimmerman? Is Steele prepared to cry about the inherent racism of blacks thinking that the lives of other blacks are worth a pair of shoes or that their culture tells them to avenge a “diss” with “busting some caps”?
Is Steele just trying to get his “black cred” back after being at the helm of the RNC (which most BET viewers would see as a racist organization because the DNC told them so)?
paranoia will destroy ya.
BET says since a Black has been elected they are worse off.
You mean more than black males already attack each other?
Every image of Trayvon shows he was better off when Bush was President.
I question the objectivity of anything that doesn’t mention Zimmerman is half-hispanic and there are blacks in his family.
The #1 thing that black males could do to decrease the level of distrust and stereotyping against them, would be to stop proving that its warranted.
Frankly, the odds of being the victim of black on white crime is staggeringly large compared to the reverse, especially given the population distribution. So let’s stop pretending that there is just a perception problem when it comes to young black males.
“An 85-year-old woman was sexually assaulted and battered to death by a home invader who also shot her 90-year-old husband in the face with a BB gun.”
While Geraldo blames the tragic death of Trayvon Martin on his mode of dress, I believe there is another element that the MSM will studiously ignore.
Barack Obama has done more to divide this nation along racial lines than anything I can remember. “African Americans for Obama”, “Hispanics for Obama,” “Martians for Obama”, etc., etc... are just part of it. This guy’s efforts to take us the rest of the way to communism have angered many of those who may already harbor latent or outright racist tendencies.
While Obama’s anti-American behavior has little to do with his race, there are unbalanced folks out here who DO read race into that behavior. Once they cross that threshold, their warped minds can justify nearly any act, up to and including the killing of an unarmed black boy walking through his neighborhood. I fear there is more — and worse — to come.
Barack, some of Trayvon Martin’s blood — and the blood of future black and white victims of your racism — is on YOUR hands.
you can almost count the white on black attacks every year on both hands, black on white, well... they hardly ever make the news anyway
