Media Bias: White "revelers" vs. black "rioters", but it looks the same to me


Posted: May 13, 2015

Someone just posted another black violence video below. We could all respond with old white supremacy violence videos, but what's more interesting to me is the media attention on black crime/riots/looting vs. white crime/riots/looting.

For example - how many of you saw these all white riots/lootings on the national news?

2012:

After the Boston bombings, only whites looted merchandise of local stores. (A simple google search will yield close-up still shots of whites looting high-end stores).

https://youtu.be/B1Fp8BL3jH8

2013:

In New Hampshire, all whites get into a bottle-throwing fight in the street while cops look on, do nothing.

https://youtu.be/VLwTGbYApyM

2013:

Huntington Beach, CA, riots.  Alll white street fights, damaging property, looting.

https://youtu.be/XpuTGSgrN1E

**Note: The guy at the end says:

 "I paid good money to be here, it is MY RIGHT to do this!"  

(Something you'd never hear a black rioter say.)

2013:

Lexington, KY - Kentucky Basketball National Championship win - all whites, setting a car on fire, damaging property.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRaebt_giaY

2015:

Columbus, OH - OSU Football National Championship win - all whites, setting couches and cars on fire, damaging property, breaking store windows/looting.

https://youtu.be/ZIcqY_FOnKU

So with the exception of the Boston Bombings (which was clearly taking advantage of chaos) maybe whites only riot when they're happy or win, so it's okay and that's MUCH better than when you're mad. And the media says they're "revelers", not "rioters" - there's the difference, I see

Or just stop with the inflammatory posts.

Why do these questions only appear under posts with race-relations opinions similar to mine - but not under opposite-opinion posts below?

There was one post tonight and several earlier this week with an opposite opinion to mine on racial relations, but these questions don't appear under them (at the time this comment was written), only posts similar to my opinion have such comments. Why?

Perhaps it's just our turn to begin posts on race relations is all :)

My title makes it clear to my political leaning. If it's not someone's cup of tea, no one is forcing them to read it.

They appear because some people don't want - to lose their perceived right to discriminate.

And they simply don't want to hear about it - in their minds everything is A-OK

I don't see what's inflammatory about the post - sm

It's not so much a discussion of race as it is a discussion of the media and media bias.

There are plenty of posts here that are blatantly about race, and most of us know that we have to tread very, very carefully in responding to them. We certainly can't call the posts inflammatory, and we most CERTAINLY cannot call the posts race-based.

Exactly. Since I'm white, talking about media bias and race, who's "inflammed" - OP aka Julia Sugarbaker

Thanks for pointing that out:)

were so clearly violent they would likely riot when he lost the election. The media were salivating at the ratings triumph of this imagined scenario. They knew that it was coming, and it was going to validate their contempt for Trump and anyone who supported him. So prevalent was the conviction that Trump was going to lose, and lose badly, that Chris Wallace, in the last debate, asked Trump if he would concede if he lost. It never occurred to him to ask Clinton the same question. Of cours ...
