Where is the outrage?
When it was a white-looking Latino who shot a black man the media pumped up the racist issues. Yeah, a Jewish-Hispanic served as 'all white men'. All the race-baiters came out of the woodwork. The court has found Zimmerman innocent and he even went on to aid a distressed driver. Now he is in hiding and his parents were even threatened according to some reports.
When I read in my local newspaper yesterday about a shooting in Oklahoma of a student from Australia the story was odd in what was left out. Yes, the three alleged assailants were teenagers but their ages and names were not revealed, as might be expected, but more telling is that there has been no mention that the three were black.
"Boredom" is touted as the reason behind the shooting - not racism. Common wisdom is that, by definition, blacks cannot be racist.
Update:
Okay, I didn't post this "in the heat of the moment" but now that there is the 'knock-out' craze are there any surprised people out there?
