Boredom knows no race. LOLIn Florida a "white Hispanic" as the media labeled him killed a black kid and claimed self defense. The media was all over it 24-7 and the word "race" was brought up constantly. All we heard about was how this showed race relations in America was at an all time low and the Sharpton's and Jackson's came out of the wood work. Contrast that with three black young men that wantonly stalk and murder a white man. No mention of race whatsoever from the media now and they are barely reporting on this compared to the wall to wall coverage of poor little Trayvon. Nothing to really argue about with this, just sayin.

you may be wrong on all counts.The three kids aren't all black. So stop your stupid bull**** outrage.

2 black kids, and 1 halfrican, then, lol.
According to the latest reports, it was a black teen, a mixed teen and a white teen.
It's not possible, therefore, to claim this was necessarily racially motivated or a black on white crime, per se, because of the mix involved. Nor, considering the rationale provided for the shooting, can it be claimed they were looking for a particular race of person to shoot.
The same was true of Zimmerman/Martin, but that didn't stop the race pimps from making wild claims.
Well, there can be "race pimps" on both sides of the divide and it doesn't help anyone to ignore or avoid the truth in pursuit of an agenda.
According to the latest reports, it was a black teen, a mixed teen and a white teen. The picture that Sawyer posted is a fake. And it took off because so many conservatives were chomping at the bit to complain about some evil black teenagers.
And lets step back down to reality here. The problem with the Zimmerman case from the very beginning is that he was never even charged with a crime after killing someone. They just took his word for it that it was self defense after he followed an innocent kid after being told not to and the kid ended up getting shot by him. In this case you have three teens who committed the crime, were caught by police and are going to be prosecuted ti the extent of the law. Trying to compare the two cases is ridiculous, not that I would expect any better from some people.

The question to ask here is .....are you now only outraged because the victim is white?
Would we have seen this thread if the victim was black?
Take a look in the mirror bud ...there ...that's what a bigot looks like!!
The OP was about media coverage of race, not about the races of the victims and perpetrators per se.eace

Not at all.... the OP posted a fake picture of the kids(most likely willfully) to make the discussion about the race of the victims and perpetrators.
That is pretty low if you ask me...
Diving MUllah

There's no evidence one way or the other whether the mistake was willful. Let's give a fellow poster the benefit of the doubt. There's been too much jumping to conclusions in all these discussions.eace
Ever see the greatest comedy ever made, a movie called "Office Space"? I wonder if thee is a gif out there of the "jump to conclusions" board?
