The persons pictured below; car-jacked, then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!
Channon Christian was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breasts and put chemicals in her mouth... and then murdered her.
Here are pic's of the couple and the alleged perpetraitors of this horrific crime.
Do you consider this a hate crime? Why or why not?
Hate crime? Nah, can't you feel the love in the air?
I guarantee if the couple had been black and the perpetrators white, it would without a doubt be a hate crime.
Why would it be classified a hate crime if their races were reversed?
Because a racial double standard exists. Cases in point:
- Blacks may not have some of the necessities to be, lets say, a field manager, or, perhaps, a general manager in baseball, baseball executive Al Campanis said on Nightline. Also, he said blacks are not good swimmers because they dont have the buoyancy. Campanis, who was a friend of baseball great Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier, was forced to resign over his remarks two days later.
- Legendary broadcaster Howard Cosell said during a broadcast on ABCs Monday Night Football that elusive Washington Redskins player Alvin Garrett (an African American) was a little monkey. Cosell, who had done much to promote black athletes such as Muhammad Ali, was forced to resign from MNF over the controversy, even though his defenders say he used the same description for players of other ethnic groups.
- I still cant find my wallet. I dont understand him, and I dont want to sit close to him now. So said baseball broadcaster Steve Lyons, joking after colleague Lou Pinella spoke of the luck of finding a wallet, and then briefly used some Spanish phrases. Fox Sports fired Lyons, who had made several other remarks deemed insensitive over the years, from his playoff assignment. The L.A. Dodgers, who employed Lyons during the regular season, announced they would keep him on if he underwent diversity training.
- I think what weve had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in [Eagles quarterback Donovan] McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didnt deserve. The defense carried this team. So said Rush Limbaugh, who was forced to resign as a football analyst for ESPN, even though his criticism (though perhaps off the mark concerning McNabb) was directed at the media.
- Somewhere there are some brothers. . . . [Maybe] his great, great, great, great grandma ran over in the hood or something went down.
Great, great, great, great Grandma pulled one of them studs up outta the barn. ESPN personality Michael Irvin, who is black, said this about the athletic ability of Dallas quarterback Tony Romo, who is white. So far Irvin, who got into trouble as a player for using prostitutes and drugs, still has his ESPN gig.
- Because [the Winter Olympics] are so trying, maybe over the next three weeks we should all try too.
So try not to laugh when someone says these are the worlds greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention. So said pompous broadcaster Bryant Gumbel, who is black. Gumbel has just started a gig as a play-by-play announcer for the NFL Network.
- After two black audience members heckled him at the Laugh Factory comedy club, Michael Richards retorted: Shut up! Fifty years ago wed have you upside down with a f------ fork up your a--.
You can talk, you can talk, youre brave now mother------. Throw his a-- out. Hes a n-----! Richards apologized on the Letterman show, but black leaders said this wasnt enough and that he needs sensitivity training. Richards was scheduled to appear on Jesse Jacksons radio show to make another apology. The club has banned him.
- In the infamous Tawana Brawley case, a 15-year-old black girl claimed that she had been assaulted and raped by six white men, some of them police officers. The claim, later found to be fraudulent, was hyped by black community activist Al Sharpton, who accused without evidence New York prosecutor Steven Pagones of being one of the men involved. Pagones later was awarded $345,000 in a defamation suit. Sharpton, a minister, refused to apologize, and one of his rich friends paid for him. Sharpton also contributed to the Crown Height Riots by accusing diamond merchants [Hasidic Jews] of shedding the blood of innocent babies. Sharpton has since been a candidate for president in the Democratic primaries.
- Jesse Jackson once said President Nixon didnt do much about poverty in the U.S. because four out of five [of Nixons top advisors] are German Jews and their priorities are on Europe and Asia. Jackson once remarked that he was sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust; that very few Jewish reporters that have the capacity to be objective about Arab affairs. He has referred to Jews as hymies and to New York City as Hymietown. Jackson remains a fixture of racialized activism in the Democratic Party.
- The black is a better athlete because hes been bred to be that way, gambling oddsmaker Jimmy the Greek told a CBS television crew. During slave trading, the slave owner would breed his big woman so that he would have a big, black kid, see. Thats where it all started. A disgraced Jimmy the Greek was fired.
Mel Gibson, of course, said the following during a traffic arrest: F-----g Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. Gibson was drunk at the time and said later that the words did not represent what was in his heart. Jewish groups, already suspicious of Gibson because of his fathers anti-Semitic beliefs and because of his film The Passion of the Christ, were slow to forgive.
- White House tapes recorded evangelist Billy Graham saying little about the anti-Semitic rants of his friend Richard Nixon. A frail Graham apologized, but his sterling reputation was tarnished.
- Football great Reggie White, since deceased, addressing the Wisconsin legislature, praised various ethnicities for their gifts, including blacks for their worship, Hispanics for their commitment to family, Asians for their creativity, and whites for their managerial acumen. White said the groups together reveal a more complete picture of the image of God. White, who habitually used his fame and fortune to help the less fortunate, was the brunt of widespread ridicule, though his remarks (though stereotypical) disparaged no group.
