Why Autumn’s murder wasn’t ‘news’

...You see, in the media’s once noble, right-headed, fair-minded quest to condemn racial inequality, that quest has become corrupted by race; it has become twisted, hideously unbalanced.

There is no question in my gut, heart and head that Autumn Pasquale’s murder became a make-it-go-away, non-story because she was white and her alleged killers are black.

...if Autumn had been black and her alleged teen assailants been white that her death and the ensuing murder trial would have been up there, a la Trayvon Martin, at the top of the newscasts, every day and night. Al Sharpton would summon the TV cameras, and all networks would comply...

IT'S NOT A STORY BECAUSE THE BLACK UNDERCLASS KEEPS WHITE LIBERALS IN POWER. WHITE LIBERALS RUN THE MSM...

The media also yawns at the possibility (sarcasm) that 20 years of thug life being jammed down our throats may be influencing young thug wannabes. If you haven’t murdered anyone then you will never get your reord contract.

The race war has begun.

This would be that "dialogue" or "conversation on race" that the proggies are always whining about. It's a sort of conversation that has resulted in more military-style rifles being sold in the United States than anytime in history. Who is buying these rifles, and why? We are, and it's because everybody but the journalists knows we're at war. And that's the reason our sworn enemies on the Left want to disarm us.

We are, and it's because everybody but the journalists knows we're at war.

Oh, but the journ0lists KNOW the war has begun. And they're on the other side.

Their mission is to help keep the people tranquilized so that they don't wake up and fight; and at the same time, maintain that undertow of fear. It's a balancing act, but they've had ninety years to perfect their craft.
