Bro, this is your second or third attempt at starting a discussion on the media's alleged racial bias. Thus far, every last thread has been a major flop. You're merely cherry picking from a pool of thousands of articles that document such incidents (meaning racially motivated crime in general, not particularly mob violence). Where I live, the local news media is certainly not afraid of calling hate/racial crimes exactly what they are, regardless of the race of the perpetrator(s).

If you want us to believe that white youths beating up blacks would garner 24/7 news coverage, then show us some evidence. A paper from a media watchdog or research center will do. David Duke? Not so much.

I'm waiting...

I agree.

Moreover, if reporting black on white crimes 24/7 would make such crimes less likely to occur I would welcome the change with open arms. Most everyone would.

I deplore David Duke and his ilk. Your local media may be an exception, but from my observations most of the mainstream media is very selective in what and how they report bias crimes. I came to that conclusion about 20 years ago and I think it has only got worse since then.
