The problem I have here is this:
If it is just irresponsible reporting does that mean that these incidents are not happening or that they are happenning and it shouldn't be in the news?

These incidents are happening, but the press picks and chooses what they consider to be important. If I could go the rest of my life and not hear one's race in the 1st few seconds of a story, or read a reporters skewed need to discern whether this was a hate crime or not, I would be content with the time I have left.
When the race baiting self-serving extortionists hijacked the movement it began to go downhill and never pulled out of the death spiral. For anyone who remembers the goals and clearly stated purposes of the movement, what has happened is an embarrassment and a shame.
I know so many white people that voted for Obama, not because they agreed or even learned about the guys policies, but simply to prove to themselves that they aren't racist. It's like they feel guilty for being white and don't even realize it.

Yes. I agree. The answer is simple. TPTB can get away with more stuff if we, the people, are distracted by constant squabbling amongst ourselves. The media actively encourages racism as well as class warfare to keep us divided.

Its in the way they turn their head or do a "no race spin" when a white is the victim. Then they jump all over the race aspects, even if they have to spin them out like taffy, if the victim is black with white perpetrator.
Even these girls deaths are not immune from the association or used as a platform for face time and anything these guys have said, done, or stand for.
I have to wonder if anyone ever considers telling this folks to not come at all to such an event.

When Obama was running for president the first time i knew he was going to be a horrible leader but if you tried to speak out about your feelings toward him you were called a racist on here. But now that everyone doesn't like him people want to forget about that.

Oldest trick in the book and it is having the opposite effect unless you are suggesting the media/4th branch conspiracy explanation (to divide us) in which case it appears to be working.
Given an underclass that majorly can´t read and entirely doesn´t, this is dangerous incitement.

What I know for sure is that it doesn't effect my attitude toward other races but does sour me toward the press.
Rather than simple division, which could be seen as a byproduct, it supports the idea that whites are the only ones that need to check their attitudes. The clear suggestion by exclusion of race spin toward white victims is that we should expect and understand reverse racism as a sort of cause and effect response to historical treatment of minorities in this country. For whitey to understand this is not so much aimed at causing division as it is to get whites to support the progressive platform of a "reparations" solution. A solution which has a very wide berth to include billions of dollars, power shifts and a new class of privileged citizens who have taken over the "plantation" and now set on the lawn watching white toil in the fields for his sins.

These are both foreboding explanations with the single the exception of careless reporting. What can be done, if anything?
We are the solution. We are the new journalists.
