I don't care what the race of either the victim or the perpetrator is in any situation. But in this case, if the races were reversed or both of these men were of the same race, you would have never seen the story here.

But that is not the case, and how do you know that?

I've seen lots of murder/assault stories posted on this forum where white guys were the suspect/perpetrator.

How do you respond to this?

You seem to be clearly implying or suggesting this is a racist forum, only because this story happens to have a black man as the suspect.

Crime stories are posted here all the time, and most of them have nothing to do with race. There's a Phil Spector news story floating around here on FR tonight, as just one example. A white guy charged with killing a white female.

If the races were reversed, then we could expect the following:

A) This would be a huge national news story, not just a local Seattle story.

B) You wouldn't have protested it being posted here.

I partly agree, and I'm the guy who posted the article.

If the Commissioner for European American Affairs had severely beaten a black man, it would have been the lead story for every MSM newspaper and TV station in the country.

There would have been no need to post the story.

Everyone would know about it.

If a prominent white Democrat had severely beaten a white Conservative, I would have posted that, too.

Why?

Because almost nobody would know about it, just like the story I did post.
