if 20 black men got killed in a mass shooting

[Will Ross]

How do you think the media would cover it?

 

[Capitol]

Location?

 

[Metta World Movement]

Depends on the setting....and the race of the killer.

 

[Illuminatos]

Obviously it'd be covered extensively.

Look at the outrage over Trayvon Martin.

 

[Ooh Marty]

If it was a result of gang violence then little to no coverage

But, if it was 20 young black males in a classroom im pretty sure it would make national news

Page 17 of the metro section of the news paper

Unless it was a racially motivated attack then page 8

It'd be on tv for a while, the killer would get more airtime than the victims. It would be over in a couple of hours to a day.

 

[Mr. Negative]

the cops would sprinkle crack on them.

America at large wouldn't care. It would be thought of as an everyday occurrence for Black America. Most would think "only 20" the way black on black crime is reported.

"He was a bright but troubled individual"

I actually heard the gunman from the elementary school shooting described like this. Why are these kinds of killer always described using positive adjectives?

 

[Mass]

The attack was not racially motivated. In other news ....

 

[Metta World Movement]

white male

location southern usa

Where exactly?

You mean like a church or workplace?

That would get a ton of media coverage, as long as it's clear that the victims didn't previously know the killer and/or do any shyt to him previously

Imagine the outrage from black folks....and then the openly-racist white people who'd find a way to defend his actions....and the angry reaction to THAT, from black folks. It would be like Trayvon times 10

I don't get this belief nikkas have that white-on-black violence would be virtually ignored in the media. The media loves an interesting, scandalous story.....not many more things scandalous than a crazy, possibly-racist white man specifically killing 20 random, innocent nikkas

It'd be on tv for a while, the killer would get more airtime than the victims. It would be over in a couple of hours to a day.

We gonna act like the shooter don't ALWAYS get more airtime than the victims, regardless of race?

Sprinkle coke on the floor, make it drug related...
