Most major television news outlets choose to run stories when the victim is black, but do not react in the same manner when the victim is not black.

Do you agree with that statement?


Yall worried about white vs black coverage when some old people got killed in a damn church. How pathetic. One victim was 87 years old. People go to church for peace, not violence.

The suspect is quoted as saying he was there "to shoot black people."

Why is the media making this about race?!

Yep.


I bet they don't complain when a Muslim commits a terrorist attack and it's covered 24/7. What he did is terrorism. Didn't he admit to wanting to kill black people.

Heard he was there for over an hour. If true, the people were nice enough to have him join in on prayer and church services, didn't look at his race, didn't treat him differently, but this guy only went there for a different agenda.

Good thing to see is the blacks and whites down there are holding hands, praying together. While we have people on this board worrying about media coverage of race crimes.lmao.

I thought it was obvious that the shooting was racially motivated

Well it is a message board. Where people discuss a variety of angles when something like this happens. Discussing the coverage isn't mutually exclusive with donning an apartheid patch and supporting the lunatic who committed the crime. Just because the people commenting here aren't "praying together" doesn't mean they haven't prayed on it.

All a part of the liberal gay Jew-run media conspiracy.

well there are reports that this was racially motivated. This is clearly a different scenario than most, but it's still a topic worth discussing considering there have been mother fricking riots as of late.

and stonehog, it's your choice to be ignorant. I won't bash your opinions, as that seems to happen too much over here anyways. And I don't always disagree with you, as I'm pretty liberal myself. But I could link you multiple heinous acts against non blacks, by blacks, that didn't receive much air time.

White on black racism sells. Sorry, but it's the truth. You can close your eyes tightly and pretend it doesn't all you want, but it doesn't make you right.

This is our unfortunate reality. If a cop shoots & kills a white person or if anyone crazy schumck, regardless of ethnicity, kills a white person you get a 15 second blurb on the evening news. We have an obviously whack-job go and do this and we get round the clock coverage for a week about how racist America is and how we need gun control immediately implemented.

Whether it's racially motivated or not, major network coverage last night was pretty fricking terrible


I only heard about it through reddit, to be honest. I try to avoid the major news networks.

Huh??? Lexington is one of the nicer cities in that area. Ever lived there? I have.

Lattimore is holding a candlelight vigil tomorrow night at 8pm in honor of those killed in the church shooting. And Al Sharpton is on his way to Charleston. With Al Sharpton on his way, I have a feeling things might go from bad to worse.

barely had any air time. This is one that hits close to home, so I immediately remembered it.

I'm still at work so I can't google "black on white crime" or anything like that here, for obvious reasons. But rest assured, I'll do it later.
