Why is not national news when a Negro murders a Caucasian? o_O

Did you forget about OJ? That seemed to make the news in my town. (-:

Did you forget OJ was acquitted?

Hey, you said, precisely: "Why is it not national news . . ." The OJ case
WAS national news, no matter how ridiculous the outcome. The following
civil suit DID find him guilty. Maybe he WAS innocent:

In his argument, he states that O.J. went through the long trial and
investigations to cover for his son, now 41, who is living in Miami where he
works as a cook, according to the New York Post. Dear's evidentiary support
includes items found in Jason's locker and trashcan including a hunting
knife that forensic experts believe is the actual murder weapon and Jason's
habit of wearing knit caps similar to the one left at the crime scene that
was actually never linked to O.J. Dear also looks into Jason's personality
and brings his drug abuse and domestic violence history along with his anger
management issues to the surface.

I do know prosecutors and cops *repeatedly* stepped on their dicks big time
in the OJ case and weren't prepared to go up against the likes of the legal
team OJ assembled. The got outlawyered as the attorneys like to say, and
they got outlawyered big time.

Of course you probably didn't hear
about the murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, a White
couple raped, tortured and murdered after being kidnapped early on the
morning of January 7, 2007 by three Black men and a Black female.
A professor of journalism said the case didn't get national attention
because it wasn't newsworthy. I never heard of it on any of the alphabet
news networks, did you? o_O

Jeez, dude, do you know how many people are horribly murdered every year?
Kids by adults, whites by blacks, black by Asians, Asians by Hispanics, etc,
etc, etc. Not hearing of a particular murder doesn't surprise me in the
least. Maybe they lacked a mouthpiece like Al Sharpton to rally people to
their cause. You're actually making a case that blacks are smarter than
whites because they can get the media to focus on the issues of their
choosing. That's not really what your trying to prove, is it? (-:

Gosh, there is a possible hate crime in Oklahoma, it's all over the news
but another murder there was ignored by the national news media.

I don't know if it bothers or disturbs you but it does perturb me.

You're asking why some stories "grow legs" and other don't. The greatest
publishers and journalists of our time haven't been able to figure out what
makes people interested in one story over another. Having a loudmouth
speechifier like Sharpton is a big help, but even he can't make every case
he's involved in a national news item.

I know that in the history of race relations, there have been atrocities on
all sides. I've seen photos of blacks that had been lynched hanging from a
tree while white folks were have a garden party beneath the hanging tree.
I'm old enough to remember blacks being burned to death during the Civil
Rights era.

What grows into a story that has "traction" is something I've never been
able to figure out, even as a former journalist. There are so damn many
(too many) murders of all sorts each year for me to consider classifying
them as black on white, white on black, etc. You mentioned being mugged
once. When I got mugged on the NYC subway, it was a "salt and pepper" team
(one black, one white) that attacked me. Maybe that's why I'm convinced
that either race can do horrific things. Or should I say any race?

The Martin case captured public attention because of the circumstances of
the killing, IMHO, not because of the "race issue" which was added later by
Al Sharpton and others as a way to "expand" the case. It's clear from the
polls that blacks think Zimmerman would have been arrested and jailed if he
had killed a rich white kid. I don't know if that's true, but I do know
study after study shows blacks are treated more harshly at nearly every
point in the criminal justice system.

http://www.law.northwestern.edu/jclc...rutchfield.pdf

NYC studies show that black kids are far more likely to be arrested for
marijuana that white kids even though white kids actually smoke more pot.
It's things like this that anger blacks and make them think they're still
not getting a fair shake. White kids who are arrested are far more likely
to engage paid attorneys and not public defenders, etc. Ironically, the
disparities often appear race-related, but the overriding factors usually
tend to be economic ones. Poor people commit more crimes than middle-class
ones and blacks tend to be the poorest people in most socio-economic
studies.

What seems to torque most blacks about the Martin case is Zimmerman's
apparent assumption that Martin walking home late at night from a
convenience store is automatically suspicious behavior. It would be
interesting to know how Z's 40+ calls to 911 broke down racially.
