Why do that?

Why do what? Do you mean why would we want the media to go bananas every time white people are killed by blacks?

Well, if they did, we'd have to have a special channel just to cover these atrocities. Maybe two or three channels. A vicious white-on-black killing, such as the James Byrd murder, happens like once every twenty years, but vicious black-on-white killings are quite common.

And imagine if the media went into a frenzy every time a white female was gang raped by blacks.

All we're complaining about is the double standard. White-on-black crime is pretty rare, yet whenever it occurs, there's a media firestorm to cover it as lavishly as possible, while emphasizing the race factor to the tenth degree. Even the hint that such a crime may have occurred, as at Duke, sends the media into overdrive before even the facts are in. Yet even horrifying torture murders of whites by blacks are treated as "just another local crime" and dismissed with either no coverage at all, or a lone wire service report which downplays or usually even ignores the racial factors.

Just look at the ludicrous amount of national media coverage given to noose issues recently. Some convenience store clerk was wearing a punk rock T-shirt that showed bodies hanging from nooses. A black customer complained. The clerk got fired. And this merited national media coverage!!!!???

Someone on this thread asked what the Zebra killings were. Most people today don't have any idea, and have never even heard of those killings. If a comparable reign of terror against blacks had occurred, it would be emblazoned into the minds of everyone in the country. Movies would have been made about it. It would even be included as a significant moment in the sordid history of racist America in our school textbooks. Instead, the Zebra rampage is almost forgotten, and 95% of the people who aren't old enough to personally remember it have never heard of it. Compare that to the killing of Emmett Till. And would Congress ever vote to re-open the Zebra case as a federal issue? Wait for the laughter to die down.
