Last
Friday, two male Negro teenagers and a third teenage male who appears
to be a mulatto, murdered
an Australian jogger on the streets of Duncan, Oklahoma. The
three teens said that they did it “because we were bored”.
Now, it
has been five days since the incident, and only now is this becoming
national news. Curiously, the usual cast of characters in
interracial violence news coverage is absent. Where is Jesse
Jackson? Where is Al Sharpton? Oh, wait! The victim is an innocent
white person minding his own business! No problem!
There is
a growing sense of outrage over the hypocrisy. Jackson and Sharpton
were very quick to call for action in the case of the thug wannabe
Trayvon Martin, who attacked George Zimmerman, an Hispanic man, and
was killed in self defense for his trouble. Yet, in the case of
Christopher Lane, they are strangely silent.
Alan
Colmes explains it this way on Fox News this morning: “Blacks are
underrepresented by the system, so they need people like Al Sharpton
to bring attention to their issues.” Well, I have news for Mr.
Colmes. If murder is an alternative for boredom among Negro
teenagers, the Negro population in the US needs Mr. Sharpton to bring
attention to that issue.
I have
often thought to myself that the most racialist people in America in
the 21st century are Negroes. My experience has been that in almost
every interracial altercation where Negroes are involved, the Negroes
automatically assume that race is a factor. And the mainstream media
falls right in line. Unfortunately, they just don't get it, as
pointed out in this
post over on Vox Popoli.
Fortunately,
some leaders in our country are asking the right questions. Former
Rep. Allen B. West, Florida Republican, hinted that there may be a
racial double standard at play, given the lack of outrage from Mr.
Obama and civil rights leaders. He tweeted:
“Three
black teens shoot white jogger. Who will POTUS identify w/ this
time?”
It is an
interesting question. Our illustrious president, who campaigned on
the platform that he will bring people together, has actually
accomplished the opposite on several fronts, including the racial
front.
Donald
Trump (of whom I am not a big fan, but he has his moments) tweeted:
“Why
isnt mainstream media all over this like Trayvon Martin story?Will
there be justice for Chris Lane?”
Indeed.
Where is
the mainstream media? Where is Jesse Jackson? Where is Al Sharpton.
Can Christopher Lane get justice in post-modern, politically correct
America?
UPDATE:
The US media is playing this incident down, I suspect because it does not fit their agenda. For instance, Yahoo! News does not mention it at all, and Yahoo! is a major news outlet for the 15 - 25 year old demographic.
Here is what you are not hearing from the US major media:

Here is what you are not hearing from the US major media:
- The alleged trigger man was a member of the Crips gang.
- The other two alleged accomplices were Crips wannabes.
- Facebook pages of some of the alleged perps glorified in rap lyrics which included selections about murder and mayhem.
So, at this point, I am thinking that boredom was the icing on a very rotten cake.
