If the press refuses to cover black-on-white crimes because they fear it would encourage white extremists, then why do they report white-on-black crimes (even dubious ones) with such gusto?
If the press is merely trying to maintain racial calm, then they should downplay all cross-racial crimes. Instead, they generally ignore black-on-white crimes. But white-on-black crimes are hyped at hysterical levels. Even fake ones (Duke LaCrosse) get huge coverage. Even insignificant ones (noose found hanging in a warehouse) are milked for all they’re worth.
Did you read my entire post?I specifically said the media should play down cases like the Jena Six,etc so as not to get blacks all up in a frenzy either.
We already have a precarious racial atmosphere.Stories like this only nget the extremists on both sides all “hyphy”and stirred up.

Well, for one thing, there are far, far more black-on-white crimes. If you’re going for a sell, it’s hard to pump the same line over and over again. That on top of the fact that our weakling society has created a PC system whereby it’s only appropriate to attack whites (and whites just play right along).
