Channon/Christopher Newsom rape/kidnapping murders was much worse and done by blacks, got little press.

I was gonna bring up the Channon Christian and Chris Newsome murders but you beat me to it...a truly evil event that I'm sure a lot of you have never heard of before.

Who HASN'T heard of those two? There was a widely circulated e-mail forward when it happened, and it was cross-posted to every message board on the Internet, including this one. It was also filled with inaccuracies to make the story seem more horrific than it really was. There was a clear agenda - they turned it into a story about the racist media ignoring stories with white victims and/or black perpetrators, even though that is the opposite of reality. Crimes with white victims are reported at a disproportionately high rate by the media (I'm sure we're all familiar with "missing [pretty] white woman syndrome") and crimes with black perpetrators are reported at a disproportionately high rate by the media. The premise of that chain e-mail was entirely false. The media does not try to hide black on white crime. They suckered you and a lot of other people into being more outraged about these two murders than about the other 16,000 murders that happen in this country every year.

There is still a lot of racial strife in this country, and white people are as much to blame as black people. I see a lot of angst and resentment toward black people in this thread and a lot of other threads here.

This was the first time I have heard about this crime.

What were the innacuracies in this article? It gave a detailed description of what the criminals did, so I am curious as to what in this article is inaccurate. Surely if you claim that this article is not telling the full truth, you will be able to back it up with the "real" truth.

I have no angst against black people, im just curious to see what was "sensationalized" in this article.

 
Everyone knows Martin Luther King cured racism in the 60's. Now the only kind of racism left is against white people. Well, the only important kind anyway.

I respect your POV, however, even if his penis wasn't cut off or her breast cut off, still doesn't lesson my or anyone else's outrage. The missing 'pretty white women' stories that you mention appear daily in our media so they don't have to cover the evil ones like the one I mentioned. There usually is no suspect, and when there is it's usually the hubby or a family member so it is considered 'safe' to publicize....the media seems dead set on keeping everyone numb.

Wow - you really think this is some concerted effort by the media to hide black on white crime? The story you mentioned did not generate national media attention because it is not of national interest. That's all there is to it. The news is driven by ratings, and that story wouldn't get ratings (especially after the inaccuracies are removed).

Wait...Is this news when it's reversed? Maybe I'm watching different news than some of you.

If it was nine white kids and a black woman, this would happen:

7 out of the 9 kids would be charged as adults with hate crime and attempted murder/manslaughter. They would serve 25 years to life in prison with no chance of parole until 2020-2030.

2 of the kids (the ones who started the beating) will be charged as adults with murder 1 and be sentenced to death row by lethal injection.

Seriously? You think WHITE people are over-charged and overzealously prosecuted for their crimes compared to black people? 😕

The funny thing is, your exaggeration was correct, but you got the races wrong. What you describe DID happen to the so-called Jena Six, a group of 6 black kids who beat up a white kid. They were charged as adults, and they were charged with attempted murder. Turns out that if the prosecutor didn't charge them with attempted murder in the first place, he wouldn't have been able to charge them as adults. Now that he has dropped the absurd attempted murder charges, they can't be transferred back to juvenile court because the process has already started in adult criminal court. So by inflating the charges, he was able to charge them as adults when he had no business doing so under the law. It was an interesting shell game he played.

The U.S. Attorney, Donald Washington <who is black> reviewed the case and found the DA did nothing wrong. You and I and everyone can say how the Jena 6 got such a bad deal for such crime but none of us are lawyers. Mr. Washington is and he didn't see any "excessive" charges or "illegal" act by the local DA.

BTW, Bell is in jail now <after he got the bond money to get out from the beating charge>. He is in jail now because not of the Jena 6 charge(s) but from another previous charge. Just to show you that Bell are a repeated offender and didn't just lose his cool on that day.

This was the first I've heard of the murders too. Though from the link you posted it sounds like the lack of media attention on this is due more to the authorities doing their job and keeping things out of the media. I actually prefer it when the authorities protect evidence. The less the media is allowed to get their hands on the better. Violence begets violence, and the more the media shows us, the more people get ideas in their head. Movie violence isn't real, and most people can separate fantasy from reality. But when it's on the news, what's there to separate?
 
baltimore is the most ghetto horrible city I ever visited. To tell the truth I am sure the HBO series the wire is about spot on.
 
If it's not a story about the plight of a minority geared to perpetuate guilt, then the media wants no part of it.
Of course if they do slip up and focus on it, then they are labelled as bigoted scum that only represent "the man".
So the mass media trys very hard to brush it aside and bring no attention to it.
 
Lets see teachers are attacked everyday by students. Both black and white. Does it matter that they were black? Kids in general today are sick. Is this group any worse than the asian dude who shot up VT or the white kid with the help of his mother was brewing a plot to commit mass murder at a school. Anybody in today's world could sit somewhere and every hour find some sick twisted story commited by some person or persons of a particular race.

Why would Al Sharpton get involved in this? What you need is the white version of Al Sharpton. Trent Lott maybe? He'll be available soon. I dunno, you whiteys pick someone and get back to us.

Why wouldn't Al Sharpton and/or Jesse Jackson get involved in this? It's what they do. Thanks for the racist "whitey" remark too, you're really escaping stereotyping there...
