Reverse Racism? (by MikeN2014)

Where are the riots & media? This ISN'T racially charged or motivated? How come not much media coverage on this story? And not to mention that most sites FAIL to mention the teens that committed this horrific act are black.
Because if it was white on one black they would say it. By NOT mentioning race at all, the media thinks they are fooling by "omissions".

What do you think? Is this Reverse Racism?

Link.

rac·ism

noun

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Take notice if what is NOT said... Race, prior criminal history..
And what is said "not related to Ferguson or race" on the other links

Link.

I know if there is not a moral hierarchial order poor ppl suffer. I am glad ppl are preparing. There will be a war here in america. All the ppl are up im arms. Inflation because to many ppl and not enough supplies. I want 2 be nice but contained anger can bring forth peace.

Absolutely, I agree with you. But after reading all the links, I'm sure the term , "Reverse Racism" is just a catchy thread title.. "Reverse Racism " is a phrase we (in USA) use. I first heard it in the early 70's. So it may have been used longer than that(Because I'm going to be 55). I'm not sure if it is regional or not. But I know there were even reporters using it in newspaper articles. And on TV news, here on the East Coast.
And I know people deffinitly still use the phase, in Southern states as well. Or at least know it.

@MikeN2014: I just read another article, besides your links. Thanks for this thread, this crime is horrific. It is definitely a HATE/ RACE crime. And only 3 have been charged (from all I read). Sadly not ONE of these articles, even mentions the victims injuries or how from multi hammers, deadly blows he took, or fists or kicks. And only one article mentions the witnesses who heard the perps screaming "let's kill some white people " I admire this community of his former countrymen .. With their first request only being extra police protection. Then a small protest (peacefuly) of only 50 Ppl. And only for 2-3 hours..AFTER, the police deniel/ refusal, to call it what it truly was/ is. This shows great dignity. Now that his community of 70,000+ is asking the DA to call it a hate/ race crime... I sincerely hope he does. Because the ongoing abuse this community has suffered is ridiculous. And the empathy for them is growing in numbers & cash. Prayers sent.
