Why the lack of media ‘Outrage’ over Cannon Hinnant murder?


Aug 16, 2020, 1:46 PM

This is sort of a rhetorical question ... but not really.

I mean ... how is the calm, almost routine reporting in this horrendous story just floating by.

Why is it not enough to outrage those who have basically lived in that condition since November 2016?

It just defies logical human explanation.

And bloody “Snopes” fact checks those who are complaining about lack of coverage by pointing out the many calm and routine stories about it on CNN and MSNBC, etc. totally missing the entire point.

Yes, there has been coverage, but there has been NO outrage on the left.

And another thing to those who say that the USA hasn’t made progress on race relations since Jim Crow and before Civil Rights legislation ... can we doubt for a moment that the perpetrator in this crime would have been summarily lynched in the state of North Carolina in the 1950s and before? No, he would have never lived to go to jail.

Now he is arrested and charged and held without bail, pending trial. Just like any Caucasian cold-blooded murderer.

Why?

Because well, black lives matter.

This is a lame Fox News Whatabout argument from last week, and it was tired and wrongheaded when it got here.

There is no doubt this is an atrocity and a tragedy, and I cannot imagine what the parents are going through. But it's a one-off; the dude responsible was arrested, and barring a legal calamity will be convicted and either spend the rest of his life in jail or, if they prove premeditation, could even get the needle. Child-killers do not do well by either juries or judges.

But it's a one-off, not "systemic", and that's why there's shock but no outrage. Unless you're trying to say there's a pattern of black men killing white children and something desperately needs to be done about this ongoing injustice.

You're not saying that, are you?

Bull.

If there was a bigger story here the media would be all over it. If it bleeds, it leads. You can accuse the media of sensationalism and I doubt anybody would disagree...epitomized by that picture of a dozen reporters around one burning trash can somebody set alight at a rally a couple years back.



The reason "the media" is not all over this is because it's a single local tragedy with no broader context, unless you want to talk about how many undiagnosed psychopaths exist in America's population, waiting like land mines to go off. Even on our children.

Do you want to talk about that? Or are you trying to hold this up as a counter-example that black people sometimes commit crimes against white people too, which nobody denies? The equivalency kind of dies right there, though, because the accused murderer here wasn't a cop, his job wasn't to protect this kid, and this kid didn't die in his custody...so again, it was a sick tragedy, yeah, but where would the outrage at the broader injustice come in?

The national narrative is that black people are completely and utterly oppressed...in all facets of society...Was this individual oppressed enough to walk across the street and murder this little guy?

It goes to the often used counter argument that anti BLM people use....How can you cry oppression when you oppress yourself...

If this child were black this story would have been recycled into the national narrative that white supremacy is the biggest threat to blacks...and you absolutely know it would have been.

More black men are killed by other black men every weekend than the combined amount of unarmed black men killed by police over a FIVE YEAR SPAN.

There were 9 unarmed black people killed by white and black police in 2019. 20 unarmed white people suffered the same fate. When factoring in weekends, there is an average of nine black people killed by other black people in Chicago everyday. That's just one city. Where is BLM? Where is Obama. That his home city for crying out loud. But no, he'd rather push a "systemic racism" agenda while speaking at at eulogy for a black american hero. Why no attention to Chicago from this lowlife race baiter? Why is he not in Chicago standing on the steps of City Hall, urging "his people" to stop the madness?? It's despicable! Where is your CNN? Any media at all? Why no marches? Why no protests? Why no looting Target stores in protest of these black lives? Shoot, I guess all black lives really don't matter.

And look, 14% of white murders were committed by black people in 2018, while 7% of black murders were committed by white people. White people make up about 72% of the population while black people make up about 13%. Do you know what disproportionate means?

Look, all murders are obviously horrible. But folks in your (apparent) camp and in the liberal media are hellbent in covering only one side of it all. The liberal media wants division, so they can add fuel to the false narratives of their Trump hate. It's obvious and it's despicable. The people who drive these narratives are evil lowlifes. They care about nothing by their self interests and propaganda.

I mean geez fella, there were 8 children ages 1-14 killed in a two-week span last month, in Chicago alone. You simply have no leg to to stand on with these "one off" arguments.

Either all lives matter equally and should garner the same national attention and contrived outrage, or they shouldn't. You can't put all your eggs in one false narrative basket and pretend it means more.

Aug 16, 2020, 2:13 PM [ in reply to Re: Why the lack of media ‘Outrage’ over Cannon Hinnant murder? ]

It’s a current liberal conceit to scream what about “what about-ism” ...

The left has used a HUGE brush to paint the entire USA as systemically racist. The have invented something called White Guilt to perpetuate the idea. And they’ve justified some of the most uncalled for reactions to grow out of control because they want a nation divided when November 2020 rolls around.

No, I do not think there is a systemic problem with white kids being murdered by black men.

Nor do I believe that the white population of the USA or that the police are systemically racist.

Systemic racism defies rational human logic. It’s a radical point of view designed to tear the United States apart.

The bottom line is ... there is a critical need to stop using racial issues to justify the things that are going on now.

The vast majority of American citizens are not racist. It s an absurd notion.

The brush is just much too wide!

Aug 16, 2020, 2:28 PM

I'm not a liberal. I don't even consider myself particularly "woke". And I'm calling Whataboutism because you were pulling out a Whatabout argument.

"Systemic racism" doesn't deny human logic. It doesn't even mean there's a preponderance of white folks with hatred for black people in their hearts. It does means there's inequities baked into the system. And there still are. We're a mile past slavery or Jim Crow but we aren't at the finish line either. Like all things, justice is an ongoing discussion. Just my opinion.

Also just in my opinion, you don't have to feel "guilty" about it. We didn't invent that system; like everybody else born into this world, we inherited it...but because we take it so very much for granted a lot of times we don't necessarily notice the inequalities until they're pointed out, too. And people do need to listen to one another better too.

Re: please list the systemic inequalities that are baked into

Yes, walk down to South Central or the South Side of Chicago and tell folks there that racial inequality is a thing of the past, and it's Mission Accomplished now. The system's great! Or even try that in West Greenville, see how it goes.

The biggest problem baked into the system is poverty. And unfortunately the best way to be wealthy in this country is the old-fashioned way: be born into money.

Poverty is the #1 reason people fail in life. Yes, there are those who beat the odds...but they are still beating the odds.

Ask any black person, and they'll tell you the exact same thing: the biggest problem with our laws is they enforce a system that was never fair to begin with. They are not wrong.

To me, though, the solution isn't "more law". We've got gazillions of un-enforceable and antiquated laws on the books already. The bigger problem is poverty...and the best way to combat that, IMHO, is awareness.

If we realize what allowing massive chunks of our population remain in impoverished conditions is actually costing everyone, we'd put our house in order tomorrow. We can. And the answer isn't more law but more action, and that has to happen on a local level...and not by throwing bricks through storefront windows or shooting protesters in the face with tear gas and rubber bullets, but by talking stuff out and listening to each other for once.

Just my .02 worth.

Here is an example of systemic Racism


Aug 16, 2020, 5:13 PM

We have a system that rewards single motherhood on welfare. This promotes removing the father from the home. This leads to crime and further removal of fathers from the home.

Here is another example of systemic Racism.

Abortion. Abortion affects poor African Americans far greater than it does any other demographic. It is a form of genocide.

If poverty is the problem...

Is concentrating large groups of people into ghettos, like the ones that you mentioned, and providing them welfare and housing and food a good solution? Is the solution to double their handouts so that they are no longer impoverished? Democrat policies have kept them in in poverty in exchange for a vote.

The solution to poverty is a strong economy. Black unemployment before COVID was the lowest ever. A strong economy leads to jobs which can lead to financial security.

There are millions of examples of successful people that were not born into money.

These are personal choices and circumstances resulting from personal choices. No one is "pushed" anywhere. Are you saying there aren't people of all races using the welfare system? Or that it's available for only one race? Is it not available to everyone in need, or to take advantage of? How can anyone say it's more detrimental to one race over another? People make their own choices. If a woman desires to live without a father in the home, then that's her choice. If a father chooses to desert his children so he can chase his vices, then how is that someone else's fault?

The US has spent over $15 TRILLION with a T on the war on poverty and has roughly the same levels of poverty as before it started. Throwing tax dollars at it certainly hasn’t put a dent in the problem (and arguably has made it worse). I would argue the only way to fix it is through better education system that holds failing schools accountable. Putting laws/ tax incentives in place that encouraging/incentivize the nuclear family. Finally by putting MORE police in the worst neighborhoods, so they become safer and businesses will be willing to invest in the community- bringing jobs etc etc.

I agree with your point that the NC shooting should have been a locally reported tragedy. There is no evidence yet of what the motive may have been to my knowledge. Similarly, the GF tragedy should have been a local story and not paraded as a national news story and promoted as false evidence of a systematic racism across the country at large, as there is no evidence of racial motivation or even premeditation in that case either. I think the OP was trying to point out the hypocrisy in what gets covered in national news and attached to a narrative and what does not. Further, if the races had been switched in the NC tragedy, you are kidding yourself if you don’t think it would have made front page national news for a month and exalted as proof of some greater racial conspiracy (and more than likely blamed on Trump).

I will continue challenge the assertion of existence of systematic racism in US today. If you are going to make the claim, please provide some sort of evidence (written law, statistical, or otherwise). As Ive stated before, inequalities of outcome do not imply systematic inequities. Socioeconomic factors are what overwhelmingly drive outcomes, and hold true across racial lines.

I think because the police quickly had a suspect arrested and charged and the case seems to be clear cut. Its an awful situation but it seems to be an issue of mental illness and it is now in the court system. If there was a long manhunt or something like video of the crime and then a delay in charges or what seemed to be a hesitancy to press charges against the guy who was charged then I think the media would be all over it and there would be marches etc...

If the guy who is charged is set free pr given a light sentence then I would expect marches, etc.... but the case is just not there yet.

But four more years of DJT will make it better than four years of Biden.

The whole idea of black people being in mortal danger of


Aug 16, 2020, 7:31 PM [ in reply to Because there’s a difference between a random murder and systemic injustice that allows Black people ]

being slaughtered by police is ########. It's a huge lie that goes virtually unquestioned. Are there racist cops? Absolutely. Is racism still a problem in Amrica? Of course - it's very real. Systemic racism, as in a society that is built to discriminate against black people and actively continues to do so is false. Police are not riding around looking for black people to harrass or murder.

More unarmed white people are killed by police every year than unarmed black people. And yes, black people make up a much smaller percentage of the population, and black people are killed at a disproportionate rate by police, but black people commit crimes, especially violent crimes in which suspects are likely to be killed, at a disproportionate rate. They put themselves in situations where they are more likely to be killed.

In 2018, 514 whites were murdered by blacks, while 234 blacks were murdered by whites. Blacks committed 3,177 murders altogether, while whites committed 3,014 murders. There were a total of 6,573 murders. That means that blacks, who make up about 13% of the population, are responsible for 48% of all murders. White people, who make up 63% of the population, are responsible for about 46% of all murders.

I think it's safe to say that skin color does not explain these disparities, and that things like poverty and other cultural factors play a huge role, and all of that demands study and examination, but to suggest that blacks are the innocent victims of racially motivated murder at the hands of a racist society, and that blacks should live in fear of the police, is preposterous. If anything, the statistics show unequivocally that if anything, whites should be much more fearful of blacks than the other way around. Of course, looking at it that way solves nothing if left at that. We need solutioins, but ignoring the facts because it's too uncomfortable benefits no one, and only slams the door on honest, productive dialogue that has any chance of bringing about change.

Your article location is part of your problem. Infowars is a known fake site founded by Alex Jones who repots things like 911 attack was planned by USA and that school shootings are stagged.

Tigers don't fall for stuff like this. Get your news from real sites. They have some real stories mixed in with fake ones. So far I've seen throughout this posting 3 fake news sites, but this site topped the cake. If you really went to Clemson then you know better than to even log onto these sites.

Black lives matter. There's absolutely nothing to argue about this. It's a simple phrase saying that Black Lives Matter.

Officer Derrick Chauvin ... arrested, charged, probably spend many years in prison.

Arrested and charged is not the issue. Where is the ‘outrage’ ?
