Whites are more often targeted by blacks for robberies - that is true, but blacks target blacks slight more for murders which says a lot i think. You can say that 4 black robbers murdering a white kid is horrible it is, but to complain why it gets less coverage than tying a man to the back of a truck and dragging him to death is just inexplicable. By the way, it happened again this year - didn't get a ton of media coverage apparently since you aren't using that as an example - you're still referring back to a crime that happened a dozen years ago. I guess you only pay attention to the murder of blacks when it involves them getting dragged by a truck but the rest of the blacks who get murdered are irrelevant. What's shocking it seems to you is that if a black person murders a white person, it should be a repeat of the OJ Simpson car chase.
i guess i find it remarkable that you would acknowledge that gangs of black men murdering lone whites is unexceptional. perhaps that's true, but i had thought that wasn't the norm.
So in bassoland, every single murder should get the James Byrd Jr treatment in the media? I fail to see how this murder is different in context or scope than a large majority of the other murders that happen around the country each and every day. What about this murder is exceptional to you?
Look who else thinks this case is particularly significant- Stormfront > News > Newslinks & Articles Kyser Miree Murder in Mobile, AL - Why is this not a HATE CRIME??? http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t728971/
basso has stated that he has some kind of personal connection to the victim. that alone sets it apart from all other murders that day.
4 black robbing and murdering a lone white guy happens all the time? if the races were reversed, would you characterize it as unusual?
In terms of murders, probably fairly common. Especially in gang related activity. 4 guys is a slightly higher than average number, but it's not like it was a mob or something, that might make the news. If 4 white guys robbed and murdered a black guy, it's safe to say it would be unusual, since, you know, that probably doesn't happen that often. Then there's the whole concept of motive, which I guess is lost on you in all this. Whereas if someone commits a murder for a particularly bizarre or sinister reason (gang motives are not uncommon, money motives are not uncommon, etc), that story is more likely to make the news.
Yes, gang-up mentality is entirely new to the US. http://www.wwltv.com/news/lafourche-terrebonne/4-men-booked-in-raping-killing-of-woman-93232689.html http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/89604422.html http://articles.sfgate.com/2009-02-..._gang-members-fruitvale-bart-station-attacker http://southeastportland.katu.com/content/four-people-charged-murder-after-robbery-led-death-victim http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_15631405?nclick_check=1 http://www.nj.com/independentpress/index.ssf/2010/07/prosecutor_summit_police_learn.html http://www.modbee.com/2010/07/30/1272956/four-arrested-in-modesto-shooting.html http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/local/article_d8a15776-9c0d-11df-96c6-001cc4c03286.html http://www2.hernandotoday.com/content/2010/jul/28/four-murder-suspects-arraigned-brooksville/ Define gang.
So you just decided to make a race issue out of the crime anyway. Do you think this proves some point about how whites don't get some benefit that blacks do? This thread is about one thing. It's about you taking a horrible crime and trying to use it to incite racial turmoil on the bbs. The only thing this story and your reaction to it proves is that any tragedy no matter how horrible is only good to you for fodder to try and show some misguided idea that whites are downtrodden and aren't treated fairly in this world. I don't know that I've seen a stronger case for someone being banned from this board.
You're the one who decided to start the race war for sh-ts and giggles old man. While at the same time - you also started a thread questioning why your own kids say racist things. All I'm saying is that I think the two things might be related. If this is not a logical assumption, feel free to explain further.
in 1998 i was held up and robbed at gunpoint in my own house by 4 "black" robbers, but i would never compare my situation to james byrd. james byrd was murdered simply for being black. i wasnt robbed b/c i was white. for you to bring up james byrd is just really odd, but you knew exactly what you were doing there, didnt you?
That's the thing. When someone uses a tragedy like this to try and start racial problems on the message board, it's distasteful to say the least.
I don't know that it does but it explains why it looms large in his thoughts; that should be understandable.
i would argue that the (apparent) fact that 4 black guys murdering a white guy is "unexceptional" (in your view) is itself "newsworthy." how did we get to such a state where such heinous acts are viewed as routine, and greeted with a collective liberal shrug, and that to point out that there might be something ****ed up about that, is viewed as racist?
