re: Race Not Motivation in Chicago Facebook Attack

CNN: "Video Shows White Teens Driving Over, Killing Black Man, DA Says" was one such headline.

Hypocrisy On Display at CNN

---

Here is how CNN opens the that story:

quote:

---

On a recent Sunday morning just before dawn, two carloads of white teenagers drove to Jackson, Mississippi, on what the county district attorney says was a mission of hate: to find and hurt a black person.

---

Versus the story from Chicago:

quote:

---

The young man cowers in the corner of a room, tied up with his mouth bound in plastic. His eyes exude fear as his attackers get ready for their next act. One assailant slashes his sweatshirt with a knife. A young woman streaming the abuse on Facebook Live turns the camera back to herself.

---

No agenda at CNN. No way.

quote:

---

The grandmother of a young woman associated with a live video on Facebook of a beating says her granddaughter "had her ups and downs," but is "a good person." Priscilla Covington of Chicago says she raised the young woman "since she was a baby." She says her granddaughter no longer lives at the family home but still lives in Chicago. The grandmother says the video doesn't reflect the young woman she raised. She says she's worried because her family, including the woman's younger sisters, have been threatened since the video was posted online. She says she saw and talked to her granddaughter about four days ago, and "she was OK."

Good, they should be all threatened to be sterilized, grandmother included since there's a good chance she hasn't reached 40 yet.

I wish I could find the writer's email (Emanuella Grinberg) to see if she could explain the inconsistency. Ms. Grinberg did not write the article about the white teens driving over the black man.

I would prefer the term "white devil" if you don't mind.

I think the 'outrage' is directed towards the CPD and the media for their blatant hypocrisy

---

I'm going to wait til' they actually announce what the charges are before getting upset with the CPD. I don't don't see them not charging them with a hate crime. As far as the hypocritical media, it's disgusting but I guess I'm starting to become numb to it. It's sad because there is nothing I can do to change it.

someone will call you racis for saying that.

She already had 3 fricking kids by the time she was 18, so the apple probably doesn't fall far from the tree.

Well you would be one of the prime candidates

I'm just responding to a guy saying that we shouldn't fight racism and/or hatred with more racism and/or hatred. That will only make things worse.

And that applies to everyone of all races, age, political ideology, etc.

quote:

Like black people are committing the vast majority of crime in Chicago.

Fun fact: in all Chicago shootings in 2016, 100 shooters were black, 30 were hispanic, and 5 were white.

But then again no arrest was made in the remaining 638.

Do they think we're idiots? They clearly said *uck white people" in the video. That doesn't make all black people racists...but it makes this crime racially motivated.

Why can't we call a spade a spade anymore? Good grief.
