Once again it seems that crimes based on race committed by blacks against whites are being discounted as hate crimes. The most recent here:
In this news story the police in Alabama refuse to classify the beating of a white man by a black group a hate crime, even though during the beating one of the assailants shouted “this is justice for Treyvon”
Are we to expect Jesse Jackson and All Sharpton to run to this victim’s bedside with TV cameras in tow demanding justice? Or are those two blind to racism if it is committed by members of their own race? The reason I ask this question is I can’t seem to recall an African American being chartered with a hate crime or if they were it making national news. There seems to be a sick double standard here, if we expect racism to die in this country, then EVERYONE has to be treated equal. Am I the only one noticing this?
Oh, just because I ask the question doesn’t make me a racist. If anyone has their fingers itching to start tapping at their keyboard to call me one, save your energy and go get bent. I hate racism as much as the next person, but if we are going to take a stand against it, we have to take a stand against all of it. Not just the feel good PC kind. And let’s try to have a civil and respectful conversation. Thanks
You say “once again” but do you have examples other than this one to imply it’s endemic?
Because this case is still in the early stages and we don’t know the full details yet.
While one witness claimed to hear the “justice for Treyvon” thing, another witness claims Owens threatened the children with two knives and said a number of racial slurs himself.
Fact is, African Americans are charged with hate crimes, at a greater rate relative to population demographics than white people. You just haven’t been paying attention.
And yet when shown that in fact blacks are charged with hate crimes at a higher rate than one would expect based on their population you still stick to your claim?
It’s not that blacks arent charged with hate crimes, it’s simply that many news stations will not report black on white crime unless there’s a public outcry large enough to force their butts to move on it.
For example, the Trayvon case turns up tons of results on CBS and NBC / MSNBC. Google it.
However those same news outlets when doing a google search (and searching their sites) for “Matthew Owens” turns up ZERO articles.
(Matthew Owens was the white guy beaten by some blacks the other day and someone shouted “This is for Trayvon” or something similar)
It does appear the local media outlets do cover these things, but dont look for the big Alphabet news to keep you informed unless it fits their politically correct narrative.
Wow, you’ve shown the OP to be precisely, specifically wrong in every way. I don’t suppose we have long to wait for his voice to be raised in defense of the reverse proposition!
