There are lots of poor white people in this country. They don't murder, rape, and steal at the rate of blacks. It's not even comparable
I'm always struck by the Japanese response to the earthquake and tsunami. you had people starving but waiting politely in an orderly line for days on end waiting for their allotted rations and looting was non existent.
Then there's Katrina.
The government tit sure makes for upstanding citizens.

They are a homogeneous culture. Look, I realize that we as a society are taught to worship at the altar of diversity right now, but the fact is that large groups of different races and/or cultures living in close proximity results in violent conflict.

Since there's been millions of high profile crimes over the years and a few get misdiagnosed, well frick it, everything's a hate crime now.
i think you are missing the sarcasm intended by the op (at least i take it as sarcasm).
but having hate crimes is stupid if they are usually only applied vs one race...do you not agree?

It goes beyond that. Our country was founded on the "don't tread on me" way of thinking.

Meh. It also has a substantial history of neighbor helping neighbor. Again, historically, when your neighbor was also of the same background, race and upbringing, that's not surprising.

What the hell are you talking about? Are you saying the media would treat the story differently if say a white guy inadvertantly shot a black teenager? Nah....

again Trout yes my thread title is intended to be sarcastic. My point is the lack of fairness and equity by the media. White on black crime is a cause celebre for the national media. But black on white crime is treated as just another statistical incident unworthy of mention beyond the local level. Thats horse shite IMO.

People want to talk about the gun culture problem America faces. We don't have a gun culture problem; we have a black culture problem. 13% of the population are committing 65% of all violent crimes. Think about that! If you removed all gun crimes perpetrated by black people from the statistics, the US would have a lower crime rate than Belgium. That astounds me. But let's continue to focus on the struggle and how unfair the system is.

I agree. This story is awful.

Well I can't be sure, but it seems to appear that he's upset because this particular incident isn't labeled a hate crime and being played on a continuous loop on CNN

I would agree if you were basing this on hard statistical data, and not a broad generalization of a few misses and false hits over the years. The media are mostly to blame for anger on both sides, anytime there's a B on W or W on B crime. So I guess I'm just thinking it's stupid for some of you to be so offended when it doesn't show up on a national radar.
This is the wrong case to be trying to make a point.

Here's the problem right here. Don't ever rely on the government to protect you and your family.

And this morning more details of Adam’s extensive rap sheet emerged. Adams and another man were accused of stealing several firearms from a local shop last month. It is believed a stolen weapon was used in Nathan’s murder.
Local television station 6 ABC reported that Adams has been in and out of handcuffs since 2007, with arrest reports indicating he has been caught with guns, drugs and various stolen goods for years.
In October 2013, police said he was caught with a stolen pistol after he and a friend were driving around on a scooter.
Two months later in December, Adams was caught with another gun. Police said a woman’s car was stolen as she fueled up at a Sunoco gas station. When the car was found, Adams was nearby with marijuana and a loaded .38-special pistol.
In another arrest last year, Adams was caught carrying a flat-screen TV from a home that had just been burgled, records said.
And when he was just nine years old, police said he and three friends were arrested for tossing huge rocks onto traffic from the Interstate-65 Bridge at MLK Street.
According to Fox 59, Adams was given 30 days home detention in mid-February for auto theft and resisting charges, 120 days monitored probation and told by the judge that he must attend school.
Almost immediately, Adams broke the conditions of his detention and a probation officer sought a hearing to have him incarcerated.
Judge Gary Chavers set that hearing for April 7, but within a few days, C & C Midwest Firearms was burglarized and Adams later went on a crime spree that culminated in his arrest for Trapuzzano's April 1 shooting, police said.

1. That's not true.
2. There are separate laws on the books for these hate crimes.

i agree. A case a few years ago in Tenn (memphis I believe) where 4-5 blacks killed a white couple in an incredibly heinous act was hardly even mentioned by the national media. If I recall he was set on fire and she was stuffed in a trash can after being raped. Much more gruesome details than I am providing. Had the races been reversed the media shite storm would have been epic.
