Don’t Ignore Race In Christopher Lane’s Murder
Time Ideas ^ | August 22, 2013 | John McWhorter

Posted on 08/22/2013 6:48:26 AM PDT by Biggirl

Australian Christopher Lane was killed on Monday in Oklahoma by three teens, one of whom has said they were just “bored.” The right is complaining that the media is making nothing of the fact that two of the teens were black whereas Lane was white, as opposed to the massive alarm sounded in cases such as white (or white-ish) George Zimmerman killing black Trayvon Martin.

I stumbled across some tweets made by one of the killers. Yes - race is absolutely a factor.

Race is the only factor. I would suppose that will be true at their trial. For some reason it will NOT be the fault of the murderers but the fault of the white establishment,

You will never persuade most whites that race is a factor in any interracial killing. Whites are too mesmerized by egalitarianism and media propaganda. The dominant white belief system being blacks are ‘Jes Folks a tryin to make a buck.’ and ‘Rap is Cool!’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course it was. Shortly before the murder, one of the killers was on the phone to his fat girlfriend complaining about some Creepy Oz Cracker.

(sorry. lame joke, I know)

Here's a simple formula:

White kills Black = RACISM
Black kills White = Another sad consequence of the injustice of white society.

Got it?

My wife commented that the pictures of the killers would not have been shown all over the news, if one wasn’t white.

ALL 3 are black. One just happens to look like an Obama son, if he had had one. The clue— They were “crips”. No “cracker” could be a “crip”

“.........The right is complaining that the media is making nothing of the fact that two of the teens were black....”

I saw the pictures. They’re all three black. One was of lighter skin color, but was definitely A-A. The media is trying to force the race issue out of the story, but sorry a-holes it’s there loud, and clear, because those three punks are making it loud, and clear.

Yes. I have seen and talked to too many people. One has to rely upon ones personal experience and what is reported.

In truth, they say what they say because they are simply are afraid that if really, really think, the old accusations of being racists comes right back to them that is why. They are hiding what they really think in other words.

"Is race a big factor here in this recent murder?"

Some tweets believed to be from Edwards' account...:

"...In one outrageous tweet, Edwards writes: “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.”

In another, he claims he “knocked out 5 woods since Zimmerman court.” The word “woods” is also a derogatory term used to describe white people.
