You don’t think that if a black person went into a white church and shot nine people then fled the scene that it wouldn’t be nationwide front-page news?
What shootings of nine people go unreported these days?
Gang-related and drug-related and low-income-crime-related shootings are bad, and shouldn’t happen, but they’re a different animal than going into a church and killing nine people.
9 shootings of 1 person happen all the time; if they were reported a rare event such as this would not be news. One shooting of one black man dominated the news for months, Michael Brown. There was one that went the other way, black cop killing white kid, not news. This tragedy is being used in the same way as the Mathew Shepard case, the Gabby Giffords shooting, the Newtown massacre, or any other event that the media used for its purposes to promote an agenda. If placed in the context it deserves, in which informed people understood that racial murders actually are vastly going the other way, but in this one event it went the other, it would be a tragedy, but not a vehicle to fuel black anger against white hatred. The hatred flows overwhelmingly the other way in today’s society.
