Racial Bias in the Media - Just how bad is it?

I did notice that yesterday's 'Welcome to the NFL, Rookie' on NFL Channel painted Luck in a far more positive light than RGIII AND he got 37 seconds more air time. Even the lighting on the interview shots were darker and more menacing.

/sarc

Because they gave RGIII so much air time last year they are trying to cover their liberal bias by talking up the Luck this year.

Have you ever look at the crime rate in that area.

"With a crime rate of 69 per one thousand residents, Sanford has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 14. Within Florida, more than 94% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Sanford."

Since you are giving facts answer me this. Why leave out the sex cime statistics? Martin's reaction to getting followed was warranted. See, your little property crimes are not reason to kill people. Compared to the fear of becoming a victim to sexual battery. Fear of sexual battery is a real reason to react with violence. Those crime statistc maps leave out the sex crimes, they say to protect the victims. In actuality, all this does is leave out the white male dominated crimes and helps people like First Down paint a self righteous picture using half baked facts.

Note: Higher values mean more residents per sex offender higher number is better as far as less sex sex crimes per resident)
Seminole County: 1,213
Zip code 32773 (Sanford area): 676
Florida: 673


States with highest rate of sex offenders Rate / 100,000
Delaware 517
Oregon 473
Vermont 468
Michigan 403
Arkansas 396
Wisconsin 391
Minnesota 316
Florida 311

States with lowest rate of sex offenders Rate / 100,000
Pennsylvania 94
Maryland 136
New Mexico 140
Rhode Island 146
North Carolina 149
Connecticut 152
Washington D.C. 160
New Jersey 164

According to crime statistics, Martin had reason to fear Zimmerman following him and had reason to fear becoming a victim of a sexual crime. He was not looking for trouble, but he found because he was black and Zimmerman assumed he was a threat, and he defended himself with his fists. Zimmerman went looking for trouble with a gun. Martin assumed Zimmerman was a threat because of his actions, following him in a high sex crime area.

Notice in the highest sex crime areas: Arkansas, Vermont, Oregon not areas with high concentrations of black males.

versus

Notice in the lowest sex crime areas: Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina are areas with high concentrations of black males.


This story goes untold by the media, black males are criminalized but white males are not. Look at the sex crime stats. Point being, I can cherry pick facts to paint whatever narrative I want. If I want to criminalize blackmales I use car break-ins stats. If I want to criminalize white males I use child molestation statistics. Damn over 700,000 sex crimes committed in Oregon in a years time. WOW!!!

What about the highly publicized mass murders like in Newtown, Colorado etc. White males did these crimes not black males. The media did not make that up. You can not blame the media for that. First Down must want the media to harp on car break-ins. Common sense says of course the media is going to report the murder of innocent children over car break-in stats.

What a sick twisted place your mind is. Ah well, I guess hate can keep you warm.

P.S. - Stick to being monosyllabic. Big words apparently trip you up.

Each year, low-life scumbags abduct about 58,000 unrelated children, primarily for sexual purposes, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Nearly half of these children are sexually assaulted.
90% are by white males

The data quoted at the Missing Kids site makes mention of 58,000 but doesn't say why they were abducted, just that it was a non-family member.

You're reading a lot into this, aren't you?

Exactly the point, about this news media bias thread. It exists, this type slanting is done on a daily basis versus black males. For instance, First Down citing so-called crime stas as reason enough for Zimmerman to kill Martin. These stats are facts but they are presented in a bias fashion in order to criminalize black males "aka the enemy", or slant the news. Thanks Rat you made my point. Media bias exists. Frist Down stas are padded with car break-ins and petty theft.

All the break-ins that were witnessed or solved (according to the local cops) were committed by young black males. Should we ignore that uncomfortable fact?

So if you're a pudgy, cowardly man and know you are ineffective physically how would you lawfully protect yourself?

Once you are challenged you use what you perceive as your equalizer to a younger, fitter, more violent threat.

Rat you're not addressing the white male sexual assault stats that prove Trayvon was right to suspect Zimmerman was attacking him? Your bias is hanging out.

Sorry, you're right .I'm still getting use to it.

I'm done, the point is there is a media bias. It is silly to try to use cirme stats to criminalize black males, white males, or whomever. It's just dumb.

The correct answer was "stereotype", Mr. Gary84Clark. "Stereotype".

That brings you down to -1600 points. And Smootsmack has control of the board.

(Just playing, Gary84Clark. No hard feelings. You have a point about stereotyping. You really ought to re-examine a lot of other stuff you've said about the Zimmerman trial and how people should act.)
