Zimmerman came along during an election cycle, and the Democratic Party needs to lynch them a white man for a 'hate crime', even if it means their media fakes photos, doctors phone calls, keep portraying The Angel Martin as acute, pixie-like 12 year old, and generally scream for his blood; they really need a big turnout of the racist vote to make up for their utter failure to deliver anything they promised, even when they had that majority they needed.

As for 'equal coverage' of hate crimes, that's a lot of baloney. If you need 'data', just go collect your own. Stand on a street and ask people if they've heard of Rodney King, or James Byrd, or Tawana Brawley, or Trayvon Martin. After that, then ask them if they remember the name of even one of the 6 victims of the Wichita Massacre, or Channon Christian, or Heather Muller, and get back to us with the results. Aaron Sanders, anybody? No peeking on Google now ...

Also, don't forget to show up and lead a cheer for OJ when he gets out of the pen; he's a major hero, having literally gotten away with butchering a pretty blond white woman; people actually stood along freeways in LA to cheer him on. What a lovely, enlightened town LA is, eh?

i think its just that no one,
especially media outlets,
wants to be labeled 'racist'.
and there are more black people and groups ready to use that label than there are whites.
if white people had their own jesse jackson, al sharpton, or white panthers,
the media would be pressured to care more about crimes against white people.

but also you have to ask
if there were thousands of white people taking to streets in protest
over those crimes.
if there were thousands of whites protesting all over the country,
and the miami heat were wearing overalls instead of hoodies,
im sure the media wouldve covered it.
 
The answers options are incomplete. You need a choice for "black on white crime is the media's favorite flavor".
 
black-on-white crime is reported in the media all the time.

but unless there is evidence that its a hate-crime, its not reported as a hate-crime.

So, after the whole Trayvon media mess, and this current spate of killings of Tulsa where they're saying it was a white guy in a white pickup truck, we all know any white crimes committed against blacks will get huge media time for racism. But how come the reverse does not apply? It seems to me that crimes with black perps and white victims doesn't get nearly the media time. Such as these stories I've linked to, they seem plenty awful and racist to boot, but didn't get 10% the media time Travyon is getting. So my poll--in your opinions, does the media and the USA in general not care about black on white crime as much as white on black?

Along with the point of George Zimmerman--who looks hispanic to anyone with eyes--now being called a 'White Hispanic' since he has a white parent. Shouldn't President Obama be a 'White African American' by that standard?

I'm ignoring the race-crime-thing because I've discussed it heavily in other threads and don't feel I need to repeat myself here on any of that.

But this issue of 'determining what race you are' - is so offensive to me. My sons are mixed - they're white and native american . . . they can choose to embrace whatever they want - or nothing at all. It's not for anyone else to decide because it's their life and no one else's. One 'looks' more native american and the other doesn't . . . so this whole 'mixed race - what are you and under what criteria - let's all decide for you' is so pathetic and offensive.

We're so obcessed with rigid broad definitions of race in this nation - it's archaic and immature. To consider my sons who are of the same two parents to be remotely different races is laughable.
