I really don't enjoy violence and don't want to cause or witness a "race war." However, I'm completely disgusted by the fact that the mainstream media picks and chooses what stories become headline news. The media is totally biased where criminal activity is concerned. When a white person perpetrates a crime against a non-white every mainstream news source puts the story front and center. However, when a similar crime is committed by a non-white person against a white then the story is either stuffed into the "round file" or gets honorable mention on the last page.
Here's an example. Did anyone not living in Tennessee ever see this story?:

Google or Bing "Channon Christian and Chris Newsom" for a lot more information. One of the most gruesome crimes of the century yet it got very little media coverage.
For the record, I don't hate people because of their race. I would MUCH prefer that everyone live in peace but having reached the ripe age of 53 and having witnessed this ongoing friction between the various races I'm simply skeptical that that we're ever going to see a real resolution. I've literally known and worked with and gone to school with non-whites that were really cool people and we got along great but I also witnessed (first hand) the "Rodney King" riots in L.A. in the mid 90s. I was approached and accosted by a young Hispanic who tried to assault me while calling me every hate title (mentioned earlier) that he could think of. I guess he thought that since I was 50 and he was 20 that he was going to win that fight but I flattened him with one punch to his eye socket (true story).
So all I am left with is my personal history and personal perspective. I wish I was wrong but I can't help but be on the defensive.
