Why isn't the media covering the killing of an unarmed white youth by a black police officer?

[Gracie]

Do try to stick to the topic, dear. This isn't about me, as much as you would like it to be. It is about the double standards.

 

[jillian]

lol. It amuses me that you think I am racist.

no it doesn't. or you wouldn't have hit the little red x. apparently it bothered you. so you pout.

the fact that you think you can view this in the same light as the epidemic of murders of unarmed black men is laughable. and if you don't want people to think you're racist, don't raise silly issues.

Are you retarded? I Redex'd it because I don't agree with your take on it. There is no pouting, but there does seem to be some tears forming in your eyes. Poor dear.

obviously there is. because you felt the need to comment.

or do you forget what you do?

Hello? Is anyone home McFly? Try to digest this:
I commented because that is what message boards and threads and forums are for, sweetums. I posted it because it's a message board. I commented because that is what the reply button is for. Hello? HelloOOooooo?

trust me, bubbalah... there is nothing you could say that I can't "digest". but your little show is kind of amusing.

now go stamp your feet. you got nailed for repeating something by someone you don't even understand. that's your problem. not mine.

If it makes you feel any better, I think you are too.

Look, let's not make ths a racial issue. It is about the fact that the police are trained to shoot to kill whatever the circumstances. At some point, we have to ask why? At 20 ft. I can hit one leg or the other with a pistol. And I do not consider myself an expert with a handgun. Why cannot the police?

it is a racial issue because of the frequency with which young, unarmed black men are victimized. the right trots out unrelated alleged bad acts (which would NEVER be admissible in court under any circumstances) to justify those murders. out of all the unarmed people killed unnecessarily, there was ONE (repeat... ONE) white man killed by a black officer. and worldnutdaily and rushbot started to do their white victim dance. so what happens? a writer, from rightwingwatch posts that information and suddenly the o/p is wondering why the "media" isn't doing their job, when she doesn't even understand that the writer cited is simply relaying the rightwingnut spin.

the "media" isn't focused on it because the murder of unarmed white men by black cops is not an endemic problem.

that said, no one should die unnecessarily. but the cheerleaders who thought it was ok to chase down and murder an unarmed young man in florida and who don't care that a woman was blown away for simply going to someone's door and knocking... and who continue to justify the shooting of a man who was only stopped by the cops for jaywalking (no matter what else he may or may not have done in his life).... are simply deciding in advance that if someone is walking while black, they should expect to be shot.

 

[Gracie]

Aww. How will I ever survive knowing Raving and Jillian think I am a racist?
Boo fuckin' hoo.

 

[Gracie]

Oh looky! I just realized that Raving is one of Ashtrashy's nobodies!!!

The negligible coverage of the Taylor case by the mainstream media prompted many conservative critics to address the racial double standard. The Washington Times reports: "Talk-show host Rush Limbaugh blamed the discrepancy between the two cases on 'the liberal world view' that portrays whites as oppressors and blacks as victims."

The Times noted that CNN news host Jake Tapper acknowledged the discrepancy between the two cases, and noted that "the press often undercovers such topics as inner-city violence and the high rates of black-on-black crime."

According to Tapper, though, the Brown case is more newsworthy because of the national reaction it sparked, though some question whether the excessive media coverage of the violent protests actually served to fuel them.

Washington Times?

If you want to be taken seriously, you better stop using dopey partisan sources in the Current Events forum.

And that hyper-partisan Tea Bag rag doesn't get to call itself "the times". There's one paper of record, and it ain't it.

 

[jillian]

lol. It amuses me that you think I am racist.

no it doesn't. or you wouldn't have hit the little red x. apparently it bothered you. so you pout.

the fact that you think you can view this in the same light as the epidemic of murders of unarmed black men is laughable. and if you don't want people to think you're racist, don't act like one. it's really simple.

awww,,, how cute. gracie's nutty friends hitting the x because they're insulted for her.

lol
