Two things about this strike me. First off if it was a group of white kids saying knock that nigger out" it would be wall to wall coverage on network news. Second thing is even in this local report the word "hate crime" never comes up. Go figure.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (CBS Cleveland) - Cleveland authorities have made several arrests following the mob beating of a disabled Army veteran by a group of teenagers.
Last Friday, the victim, Matthew Robinson, was surrounded by between six and eight teenagers while riding the RTA Healthline. Robinson told WOIO that he was attacked by the teens, then robbed of his possessions.
During the attack, the teens made several derogatory remarks about Robinson.
“What they were saying was, ‘Knock that boy out!’ ‘White boy.’ ‘Cracker,’” he was quoted as saying about the incident. “They were saying, ‘Knock that white boy out.’”

Only in the delusional world of the right wing does a story of black against white crime being reported by the media demonstrate that the media ignores black against white crime

]Only in the delusional world of the left wing does a story of black against white crime not being reported by the main stream media not demonstrate that the media ignores black against white crime.

I noticed you ignored the hate crime part.:lol:

I really don't agree with "hate crime" legislation but my understanding is that it has to do with a motivation behind an attack. If someone is attacked because of their race etc. that's a hate crime. If the motivation is robbery or even just random violence, it's not, even if the attack is peppered with some racial remarks (although, the comments could be evidence of intent). Assuming all the things said are true, I'm pretty sure most everyone can agree these kids have committed some serious felony offenses.
 
Dog bites man.

Not news.

Man bites dog.

That's news.

Our evening news, coast to coast, in most all, if not all, larger cities capable of supporting a television station, has nightly news reports of violent crimes, that happen in their locality. More often than not, at least in the larger cities I have resided in, the reports point to African-American male(s,) being the responsibility for said violence. Emphasis on "more times than not."

Now, the media cannot and will not focus on race when reporting the violence as that would not be politically correct and could even cost the station/network loss of revenue. But the video or locale of the violence or the photos shown, usually do the talking.

A bunch of African-American males beating up some guy and throwing out racial slurs is much like the dog biting the man. It is not news. It is more like routine.

I apologize in advance if my posts gets a little to close to the politically correct line people of my race are expected to avoid. It is not my intent to cause any bad feelings. I am just expressing my opinion based on personal observation. I am Captain America. I am obligated to keep it real and maintain honesty, to the best of my ability, in all my posts. This is ONLY my opinion, as I said, based on my observations.

But, back to topic, This is why I don't think events, such as the OP reports, gets as much attention as some people would like it to get. Dog bites man. Rinse and repeat. Not really news.

Well after reading these remarks:
‘Knock that boy out!’ ‘White boy.’ ‘Cracker,’”
. Do you think that you necessarily need to hear "hate crime"?

2+2=4 :shrug:

I too think the hate crime law is BS but it proves it's BS when it only applies to whites.
 
The left gives blacks a pass for this sort of behavior for two reasons 1) They are afraid of black people and don't want to make them angry. 2) They have built up victimhood fence around blacks to buy their political loyalty that they don't want to shatter it. It would, of course, be in the overall best interest of blacks for to have this sort of behavior stigmatized, but the left really isn't interested in improving the lot of blacks in this country.

This a truly astounding and bizarre way to view the world.

Does anyone Remember what happened to emmett till?

Ahhh once again you are blinded by your own bias. The fatcs in the case have to prove the blacks were targeting white old dudes not for robbery but because of his race in order to be a hate crime.

Sorta like the white Texans dragging that black guy to death behind their truck. Or the Tulsa, OK pair targeting black guys, not for robbery but just because they are black-

see the difference???? robbery with cussing vs deliberate targeting due to race- robbery not an issue.

Seems like you are saying black on white crime while using racist slurs is the norm and we should just get over it.

That's BS. Such crimes are committed by whites against blacks almost every day and we rarely see considerable news coverage.

Be real.
 
Yes, but that is how liberals view it. Take it up with them.

This is bad news for the once free USA.

While the left may be pleased that the MSM, by and large, is only delivering the news they want to hear, it is distorting whats happening in America, and the world. We noow see Americans refusig to watch certain media outlets, or commentators, because they prefer to stick to their traditional MSM outlets for the left wing news they want to hear.

This case is just another example of how the MSM will keep the news politically correct (we need a new term to describe this propaganda) rather than report what's going on in the inner cities and elsewhere. While they feel they might be doing some good by distorting reality, in truth it had done the American people a genuine, and ultimately harmful, disservice.

That is absolute crap.

It's reported all the time.

It's the subject of thousands of hours of hollywood movies and TV shows.

You are by and large the most dishonest person in this sites history, it's one thing to be stupid, it's another to be a liar.
 
Yes, but that is how liberals view it. Take it up with them.

I have serious doubts about you having any understanding of how liberals view anything. You seem to understand how CON men want to see it all, I'll give you that.

Never mind the crime doesn't meet the legal threshold for hate crime, it's all some liberal plot.... :doh

If whites commit a crime against a black while calling him a nigger the word hate crime would be front and center in the media coverage.

Sorry, but liberals really aren't that hard to figure out.

That's why special rights laws are wrong. They target groups.

Hate is hate. Period. Violence should be dealt with harshly, unless it's self defense.

That's such obvious BS. It's basically claiming that such things do not happen, and we all know better.

Not wanting to start a major set to here but I am curious as to how you factually know this.

Says the CON who gives no proof, just the Rabid Right radio BS. Uttering racial slurs while robbing someone isn't a hate crime. I listed two hate crimes from my area.

Rabid CONs fail to see the difference, the rest of us do. :peace

And yes I know you're sorry...

I'd bet that, somewhere in the country, the KKK or Hammerskins or Aryans or another group commits such a crime, burns a cross or some other such ceremony every single day. And we only hear about the particularly egregious events.

What Sawyer is doing is denying white on black crime by claiming that a lack of media coverage means a lack of such things. His claim is hidden in BS regarding black on white crime and the coverage thereof, but it's obvious enough if one considers it.
