That’s because they do not fit into the conventional contours of an attack in America’s Deep South, where a shameful history of racial intolerance has meant assaults by whites on blacks have historically been regarded in the context of race.

In this case, the races were reversed: the victims were white and the four men and one woman charged in connection with the murders are black.


The above is the sum of prejudice + laziness. The journalist has a preconception, that whites attack blacks, and is too lazy even to look up the stats. Of course, just as possible is that he/she knows the statistics but refuses to report them because they run directly against the communist party line.

The fact is that interracial crime has been black-on-white for decades. In fact, never in the US was there the white-on-black equivalent of what we see today, even though the media portray what happens to people like Christian and Newsom as, on some level, a deserved consequence of the actions of their racist forebears.
