You're probably right - my take was that the person involved was condemned MORE than the 28 black men who raped the 11 year old Hispanic child. When that happens it's usually hatred for the politics of the person more than the 'crime'.

Another example is the number of times the MSM will report that an SUV ran down a person - or caused a crash etc... BUT they'll never report it that way if the accident was caused by a Prius. Same with crime - when a white person does a violent a crime, race leads the story. When a black person commits a violent crime, race is hidden.

I was pointing out the potential for bias in reporting more than 'knowing' the politics of the person. I assumed he was conservative BECAUSE of the way it was covered.

It’s **rare** to see a black person skiing, so chances are good that the man was white.
