I really don't see it as a race issue, but as a media issue. The media loves to divide on the issue of race--as long as they can portray it one way. Let a white person commit an act of violence upon a black person and the media will go berserk and every talk show will have a "dialog on race."
But, let a black person commit a violent crime on a white person and the media ignores it.
It is not racist to point out that simple fact.
I’m still trying to understand why any crime becomes an issue of race. I think what happened to this family is horrible, no matter their race. But because the perps have “ethnic” names people start ragging on diversity and black people. I know tons of black teenagers who make good grades and a fine members of my community. I know black boy scouts, cheerleaders, athletes, student leaders, what the hell do these a-holes have to do with black people in general?
