Where is the Media outrage

[DarylWashington]

Kim Sunshyne you're 75% black!!!

[Stavros]

The man that killed Treyvon didn't go around stalking every BLACK person that walked on his st and stalked EVERYONE even ppl that lived on his st sometimes....AKA a nutt job.....but some how becomes about race...black people rob steal and murder people everyday and it doesn't make headlines do you know why? It happens to often to be real news....and the news would be looked at as being bias... Im not saying take the fox news way of report but I am saying lets "keep it real people"

I think the 'racial' element in the Trayvon Martin case could be in the response of the police, rather than Zimmerman's behaviour. A black friend of his claims Zimmerman is not a 'racist'.

I am still not sure precisely what happened on that night in Sanford because there are so many conflicting 'facts' online.

The event itself was not reported on at the time, it has only become an international story because of the way the media has handled it; and it was because of the way the media handled the case in this thread that I had never heard of it here in the UK until reading about it in this thread. Both stories are outrageous, and worthy of reporting if only to remind ourselves of the cruelty that human beings can inflict on each other.

Editors make the decisions about what is news; they are the ones who should be asked why this murder and not that one; why that crime and not the other.

so...if that is true...that "black people committing crimes is just part of life," then what are you complaining about. if every time a black person committed a heinous crime it was on the news, you are saying we would never be able to watch family guy, jersey shore and this old house.

crime is just part of life. generally, theft, rape and murder occur more frequently in areas where people are in lower socio-economic conditions. that too is another fact of life. we know that for many reasons, these communities tend to have larger percentages of minorities. when you put all of this together...the logical outcome is that the media has to decide which stories will get them more advertising dollars and which will people roll their eyes and say..."this shit again"

the ONLY reason the martin kid got any national attention is because his family persisted...the media didn't care until they realized they could get some ratings/sales off of it....either people crying out in support of the family and "justice" or people crying out in support of the neighborhood watch dude and "justice".

want more evidence...as part of one of my courses, i had to write an opinion on a current or recent medical case...I chose "the vegetable" as I like to call her...aka..terri schiavo. after extensive research, my paper ended up being not on her medical case but the pure lack of understanding political figures have over what effectively constitutes life and the issue of quality vs. quantity of life. Every day there are people coping with end of life decisions that the media ignores...it was when the media realized they could capitalize on the division between the religious right and sensible people that coverage began in full force in this instance.

I said it in the domino thread...you can tell quite a bit about a people...a society by who it chooses to celebrate and in the US...the media only celebrates stories that get good ratings and sell more papers...not things that are truly noteworthy.

First of all Zimmerman made it a racial issue when he pointed out to the police dispatcher that "oh and he's a black male", and "fucking coons".

Black people rob steal and murder people everyday for and it doesn't make headlines not only because it happens everyday but for the reason that I pointed out in the previous response to you which was "it happens everyday to other black people". And because they are usually arrested. Black lives have never had as much value as white lives based on media coverage. I mentioned the statistics of missing persons cases and the disparity of coverage but no mention of that.

It's amazing non-black people want there to be nothing stated ever that shows that there may be any hint of racism be it in an individual or an institution. The minute they cover any injustice to someone of color is when we start hearing about all of the injustice done to whites everyday. This is standard "white line" and you don't deviate from it. You can't allow those people to feel that there's any difference and that if a black kid is found dead with the circumstances that surround this fiasco, don't question it because he is black after all and there has to be more to the story that hasn't come out and will vindicate this good frighted family man.

If it makes you feel justified we'll pretend that if this were a complete role reversal and a black man killed a white kid with a bag of skittles that he would have been sent home with his gun and we would have never heard of the situation.

I love this forum because it gives you a chance to actually see who some of these people are who we see these pictures and videos of. I have learned much about you here today.

didn't you know...the idea of reverse racism is more popular now that low carb diets and bashing obamacare.

the justification is that well a half-black dude made it to be president and hispanics are soon to outnumber whitey...so yeah, whitey must the the victims now.

Its funny to see what sunshyne wrote...that her father is from portugal therefore white and her mom is half white. that 1/4 hispanic she is is sufficient for her to always be labeled hispanic in the eyes of white america.
