Well, the fact that Black on White crime is not being reported, and is increasing does make it relevant, as the Black guys targeted what they thought would be an easy (the white guys) target, and I guarantee had it been 4 White guys kicking in the door of 4 Black guys, with the same outcome, Bad guys die, you would see this all over the National news, and I would still see it the same way, guys who kick in the door BAD guys guys who defends his home, Good Guys. and the fact that 2 are still at large, yet the police chose NOT to post a discrimination doesn't help the public. As I posted in the Zimmerman thread, these types of crimes are increasing, and sticking your head in the sand doesn't make it go away, only divides.
It use to be policy to describe the criminals, but that isn't PC, and when people (of any race) aren't called out, it only makes things worse. Funny, and time there is an auto accident, or someone is hit by a car, if an SUV is involved, it is called out, but since some consider SUV to not be PC, it is OK to blame them instead of the idiot driving them..[/QUOTE]


Correct..it "USED" to be policy to describe race. Its not PC for a reason. By saying that the four bad guys were Black and the Four good guys were White, and that the good guys win again, your underhandedly saying that Blacks are bad and Whites are good. This is the exact mentality that leads to racial stereotyping. This way of thinking was prevalent in the 60's and 70's but not so much today anymore and its not healthy for us as a people. I'm actually somewhat surprised to hear this. That said, I do believe its perfectly ok to describe race when suspects are still at large of course.
