“I was with the family today Unfortunately, Yes it is a hate crime. To tell someone “you’re not going to make it out”, is a death threat either way you slice that cake. The 14 year old bit a chunk out of one of the attackers shoulders and pulled hair out to try to save her mom who is currently recovering from breast cancer and been through hell the last 18 months.”
The family’s ‘crime’? Being white in a black neighborhood.
If a group of whites were to have assaulted a black family, it’d be national, no INTERNATIONAL news.
This happens and the largest local media source (The Advocate, Channel 2 WBRZ-ABC affiliate) doesn’t even cover the story.
Not even LOCAL news covers this story because they are afraid of ... what? Justice?
This needs to be sent to every major news outlet, cc’ing each one so that it is clear to them that everyone else knows they received the story. Holder was right, we have been ‘cowards’ about addressing racial issues. The arrow of racism points in all directions, and racism can’t be addressed by blaming one race.
“Not even LOCAL news covers this story because they are afraid of ... what? Justice?”
This is journalistic malpractice; report it so at least whites know they are in danger if they are in that area. I live next to Newark NJ, and while everyone in my town knows you have to get out by sundown some people in wealthier suburbs to the west don’t know how bad it is (because of the “bad-news blackout”). They are the ones who get mugged/carjacked/etc.; at this point I assume (as does the NEwark police department) that any white person in Newark not visiting an entertainment venue is looking for drugs, prostitutes, or both.
