Alright here ya go.
Lets look at the headlines for some designated hate crimes in mainstream newspapers then. Steven Johnson, a black man, was *convicted* of a hate
crime and sentenced for 240 years for shooting random people and then trying to set several bound people on fire because "he wanted to kill whites"
and stated so many times.
New York Times -- Manhattan: Man Sentenced For Taking Hostages In Bar
Los Angeles Times -- 3 Shot in Alleged Attempt to Burn Bar
Here is the coverage when a group of black “teenagers” were *convicted* of hate crimes for nearly beating 3 white women to death in Long Beach:
Long Terms Urged For Three in Attack - New York Times
8 convicted of hate attack in Long Beach - Los Angeles Times
2 In Halloween Hate Attack Get Juvenile Camp
Nine guilty in beatings - Press-Telegram
Now the New York times covering alleged white on black hate crimes:
Hate Crimes Found Aimed at Blacks in White Areas - New York Times
Black Man Is Attacked by Whites in Brooklyn, Police Say - New York Times
6 White Men Attack Black Man With Bats and Sticks on S.I. Street -- New York Times
Black Youth Is Killed by Whites; Brooklyn Attack Is Called Racial ...
If you think there is no bias then you are simply not paying any attention. The crime statistics show without a doubt that white on black crime is a
rarity when compared to the inverse, by a factor of about 17 to 1, yet the media loves to emphasize when evil WHITES do something to innocent Blacks.
