I'm just going to address the thread title.
Black on white race crimes don't sell.
I dont want it to sell. I want it to be shown the same outrage by black and other leaders as white on black hate crimes.
Martin Luther King today would not be too happy about the strange dichotomy going on, where corrupt black leaders race hustle and do a major disservice to everyone and further fan the flames of hatred on all sides.
What you want doesn't matter in this case. The news media is a business, and all businesses are selling something. The news sells stories about things that are happening in real life, and in order to sell they have to tell people about the things they want to hear.
1. People like a familiar story, so in this case, white on black injustice sells better because it's easier to accept. We're more comfortable, as a nation, with white people being the bad guys.
2. People thrive on tragedy. That's why the worst of humanity is continually circulated, and the good things fall to the back - it reflects in all of our media, not just the news.
So, again, the reason the media doesn't cover black on white hate crimes is because it doesn't sell.
