In America, nothing is what it seems. Racism is alive and well. America is one of the world''''s most racist countries that try very hard to pretend it is not! Ask any person of color and they will tell you what it really is not what it appears to be

Hey while were at it lets just ask any Inmate if there innocent or not they''ll tell us if they really are or not.

I think you may be right about us agreeing on more than we disagree.

[pfd572]

Abraham said other defendants used the same slur Karen Burton did, but the fact that Burton used it while stabbing Williams made her act more clearly a hate crime.

Exactly my point on this being a subjective statute. It appears to me that the use of racial slurs indicates they all were ''hateful'' in their actions, but the prosecutor took a more rigid interpretation. But next week, next crime, different suspects... who knows......

I think we are more in agreement than not in agreement.

I only mentioned black men accounting for 50% of the murder victims in the context of who gets the media attention related to crimes. This was in response to someone who seemed annoyed that this case was getting some attention and not another case. I was just pointing out that there are many crimes that are not reported by the media (example, if you only referred to the national media, you''d think 0% of the murder victims were black males) and that they shouldn''t take one case personally.

John McWethy died in a skiing accident.

He was killed by a slope.

Of course there can be no rational explanation for such a tragic misfortune. In fact that is the meaning of the name McWethy: "Unexplained."

"McWethy

Irish or Scottish: unexplained."

I think his point was that white victims of VIOLENT crime are usually victims of white on white crime.

LOL. Okay.

"McWethy died on February 6, 2008 at Keystone Resort in Colorado in a skiing accident. Witnesses reported he was skiing fast, missed a turn, and struck a tree, suffering blunt force trauma to his chest."

I was talking specifically about murder victims who happen to be white. In both case, black-on-black and white-on-white murders account for about 90% of the cases.

[iceman_1960]

John McWethy, for example.

He was not killed by another white person.

[iceman_1960]

"By the way, most white people are killed by other white people as well."

That is not true.

Most white people die of natural causes.
