Yeah, in fact I would. That is, if I had the slightest idea what the New Amsterdam News was.
>If a white on black crime is reported on BET instead of
>CBS or CNN does it make it less of a crime?
That's a silly question. Of course not. I find the source's motivation to be highly suspect, and they spin the crime quite blatantly. Take the following quotation from the article:
It is true that Reginald Carr had a white girlfriend, and it may be that the race of the victims was unimportant to him. At the same time, Jonathan Carr wore a FUBU sweatshirt, a brand popular with black rappers that is said to stand for "For Us, By Us." Some blacks wear FUBU clothing as a statement of black solidarity if not outright rejection of whites.
Never mind that one psycho had a white girlfriend, the other guy had a FUBU shirt on!! He must be a racist! Puhleeze.
So suddenly we go from "two black males commit horrible racially-motivated massacre" to "two black males commit horrible massacre." Still a disgusting crime, for which these two bastards richly deserve death, but probably not racially motivated.
I suppose I should give the article's author credit for even mentioning the discrepancy in the first place. Frankly, it surprised the hell out of me.
