[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let this sort of thing happen to a white woman or someone's white child (instead of the black children getting shot by cops) and white people will be up in arms.

The news will cover it 24-7.

Ever wonder why most crime shows and news feature white blonde women murders? Well it's not because there are no people of other ethnicities getting killed.

TV folks know that most people are conditioned to "care" about white women - and not care about the others. There's MUCH less empathy.

Believe me. I work in media. I'm in the room when these conversations happen and decisions are made.

It's sad.

If you didn't feel immense empathy for this poor man who was shot (and instead you felt for the officer who shot him), you have some VERY SERIOUS issues. [/quote]

Of course people feel empathy for this man and not for this officer (though he deserves due process)..what a red herring.[/quote]

Not true. Look at the conversations happening over this news. Then, look at the conversations that happen when innocent white people are killed.

The difference is so stark it's beyond startling. I'm amazed that you can't see it.[/quote]
