Tragic Hate Crimes

By now, I am sure that you have heard of the tragic hate crime that took place in February.  The one where two black men allegedly poured gasoline on a 13 year old white boy and lit him on fire.  Oh, you haven't heard that yet?  I wonder why?  Is that because the racist media will only push stories that forward their agenda.

I am sure you have heard about the Trayvon Martin case, which is tragedy, because a young boy is dead.  However, the liberal media is pushing this as a racist crime.  Why, because George Zimmerman's skin is lighter than Trayvon Martin?  The only person that knows if the death of Trayvon Martin was racially motivated is George Zimmerman.

However, in February, the same month as the Martin death, an alleged hate crime took place in Kansas City.  A 13 year old boy was walking home from school, when he was allegedly approached by two older teens, who held him down, doused him in gasoline, and lit him on fire.  The assailants were described to the police as black teens.  Further reports state that one of the suspects said, "You get what you deserve, white boy."  Now obviously, these are allegations and are yet to be proven true, but it has the appearance of a hate crime and I haven't heard one thing about it from MSNBC, CNBC, Racheal Maddow, Chris Matthews, etc.  I have not heard the President state, "If I had a son, he would look like the alleged assailant."

Now I realize that these specific cases are not the same, as one ended in the death of a child.  However, the point is that the media and apparently the President will use race issues for political gain.  Not to mention the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world who are simply race baiters.    I agree that there are certainly race issues in this country, but the issues are on an individual basis and not rooted in society, as the liberal media would like for you to believe.
