It’s Not About the Crime. It’s About the News Coverage

I completely John Lefevre and Wilbert Reilly. The biggest story about this murder of a man riding a bicycle is not about this particular (horrific) crime. It’s about the “news” media working nonstop overtime to find racism, but only in one direction. There is no corporate news coverage of this story. Reverse the “races” in this story, however, and this story would dominate the news cycle.

The “news” media are dividing us from each other in numerous ways, trying to make us suspicious of each other, to make a dollar. When a “racial” minority is the victim, they pursue a narrative that divides hundreds of millions of complex human beings into two–count ’em–two colors. As a race abolitionist, I oppose this practice. News stories about crime should point out dangerous people who should be removed from the street, regardless of their “color.”
