[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another day of violence killing an upstanding working professional's life cut short

Before I click, should I assume this is a white person?  Did you consider the other upstanding people who were recently killed before posting, or is this a racial thing?[/quote]

Must be racial because EVERYTHING has a racial slant to it in your mind, no doubt.  [/quote]

In other words, he's white.

No, not everything has a racial slant.  But in a city where 90% of the homicides are black, what are the odds that the ones we hear about on DCUM are all white?  Extremely low, unless it actually has a racial slant to it.  This is not my mind.  This is a matter of mathematical probabilities.[/quote]

Actually, you could also point out that at least 80% of the homicides are ones where the victim had some sort of preexisting relationship with their killer. Situations where the victim has no relationship with the killer are much, much more rare. Also more newsworthy.[/quote]
