Conservative media's total fixation on black-on-black and black-on-white crime isn't going to end. Here's why...
There are a few black people up to no good in this country and Fox News is on it! So is Drudge Report. Vigilantly on the lookout, 24 hours a day, for stories about black youths behaving badly.
This isn’t a particularly new phenomenon, but it’s intensified noticeably in the past year for at least two reasons. Conservatives, particularly white conservatives, feel a burning urgency to find a racial counterweight to the aftermath of Trayvon Martin’s shooting (including President Obama’s public comments about the incident), a logical response to the argument that things like background checks and an assault weapons ban are appropriate ways to reduce the likelihood of another Sandy Hook-style massacre, and anecdotal justifications for indiscriminate policing of dangerous neighborhoods.
But these are hopeless pursuits. The incidents they draw attention to fail by definition to underscore the things they believe. They all require projecting motives or details or both into tragic events, to create false dichotomies between shootings perpetrated by whites and blacks. They have the unhealthy effect of creating dueling tallies of white-on-black and black-on-white crime. And ironically they all tend to underscore the argument that more “stand your ground” laws and more racial profiling are off-point responses to these incidents....

The article is pure BS. A simple honest look at the stats for violent crime will show that.
As far as Black on White crime by young people, there certainly is an uptick since the “Won” is in the White Hut. Blame that on whatever you want, but it is happening.
Moonbat talking to moonbats, whadya expect, Lucy?
The Left can obsess over the Zimmerman trial, in which they had wrapped all their hopes and dreams of abolishing the right of white-Hispanics (a proxy for Whitey) to defend themselves against feral Trayvons, and we are to say nothing.
But when we raise legitimate concerns about feral Trayvons roaming the streets playing Knockout King and committing flash robs, we are the ones who are obsessed.
Fling this monkey-poo right back at them. They're the ones who are obsessed.
The left teems with “people” needing desperately to hang.
What we have here is a goosestepping journolister putting up some flak because the issue of black crime is finally getting some serious attention.
Predators seek out the weak and the isolated.
That Blacks are roaming in groups to ‘hunt’ and specifically kill makes them savage.
Meanwhile, one must search and scour the entire country, day in and day out to find a story like Trayvon.
TRUE stories that even remotely resemble, the fabrication the prosecution and the media created are few and far between. Meanwhile, the press is doing their darndest to suppress any black on white crimes.
If it wasn't for conservative whites, the MSM would succeed in the blackwashing of the country.
Just saw my local Fox affiliate channel 5 “news report” on Shorty—the decorated vet BEATEN to death by NEGROES and not ONE mention of the attackers—NOT ONE.
I despise the Mainstream Media.
hardly an obsession when black crime is epidemic.
what’s an obsession is the libtards’ insane demand we not see the black crime epidemic for what it is, insisting there is no black crime problem.
Well it seems the counter strategy would be to learn to not care about the ridicule.
Spiritually this requires an authoritative anchor of faith higher than the level from which the ridicule is being launched.
May I suggest the Lord? In fact He not just deflects the Satan-based ridicule, He turns the ridicule gun back on His detractors... Ps. 2:4
If the worst that can be said of me is that I considered having people hunting other people for sport to be worth worrying about, I'll take that.
BBBBWWWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAA!
I LIKE it when moonbatz go hysterical. They blame everything on everyone else but themselves.
And then they get MUGGED by the DOWNTRODDEN they defended. Stupidity meets reality.
And then, THEY RUN TO BUY A GUNZ!
Moonbatz are so predictably stupid.
you shot the cracka like this?!? you my son.
It’s been almost 50 years since Tom Wolfe described ‘radical chic’, or the white libs admiration for black criminals, at his time New Yorkers’ such as Lenny Bernstein worship of the Black Panthers. Tell me what’s changed?
They did EVERYTHING in their power to make sure you never knew that George Zimmerman was both black and Hispanic, instead trying to paint him as some kind of Jewish KKK member.
I have a (white) cousin in prison for beating an elderly man to death in his bed with a baseball bat. If my state had the death penalty he would have earned it.
There was no outcry from the family or community about him being unfairly charged and no stories about how he’s really a good boy trying to turn himself around. I think his father went to the trial but I don’t think he has any contact with my cousin in prison.
I’m even.
Carry on.
Every time I make a comment with a link on crimes like this on Twitter, I am blocked from placing them. I have to resort to logging off and logging back on to be able to make the comment. I can prove it is happening.
Is it HS? Is it the NSA? Is it the Net Roots? Is it simply the Obots? Or is it internal within Twitter?
Not sure, but I guarantee you that it is in fact happening.
It just happened here on FR. Had to log off and clear cache and paste this comment to get it sent.
and now for a math lesson.
More than 50% of violent crime and murder are committed by young black men under 30. Since the black population is about 13% and half are women, then 6% of the population is black males. But ONLY 25% are in the 15-30 demographic, and very few violent activities are committed by perps under 15 so about 1.5% of the entire population commits more than 50% of the crime! Since many/most black men are not perps, then there is a substantial amount of black PREDITORS committing most of the crimes.
Even worse, when you look at white/black RAPE stats, 99.9% are white women being raped by clack males. In fact, in the largest study ever completed on the subject (14,000 cases) NOT A SINGLE black woman raped by a white male was documented.
Is that kind of like the left’s racism obsession?
