The Megan Williams Feeding Frenzy in the Press
About ten days before the Emily Haddock murder on Tuesday September 11, 2007 a visitor sent me information about this Megan Williams. I predicted this would grab national headlines, then my wife tells me it was all over CNN Wednesday and we sure the hell knew the race of the accused and the press published plenty of pictures. The NAACP was being "consulted" on this issue as if they operate as a government agency. A black women claims she was kidnapped, raped and tortured by a gang of white rednecks. This incident took place in backwoods Logan County, West Virginia.Not only was there massive news coverage, but black racists (excuse me civil rights groups) were marching in the streets like they did with the three white Duke University students that got framed for raping a black stripper. To quote the AP from Charleston, West Virginia,
Hundreds of people marched through the state capital on Saturday to urge prosecutors to add hate crime charges against six white people charged...Police stopped traffic in downtown Charleston along the 2-mile route, as demonstrators held signs calling for the suspects to be charged with hate crimes. "Hate crimes are out of control in America," Malik Shabazz, a legal adviser to Williams and her family and a founder of Black Lawyers for Justice, told the group at a rally before the march. "Nooses are being hung and our women are being raped by white mobs. What happened to Megan Williams was a hate crime and we want this prosecuted as a hate crime."Her legal counsel at the time, this Malik Shabazz is the co-founder of a racist group called Black Lawyers for Justice. He's also a member of the New Black Panther Party.
Nobody had any problem that this Shabazz was a racist. Well the truth came out that the victim was dating one of these people, there goes the hate crime angle. The story was off the air by Thursday. In November 2009 she recanted the story while seven white people are still in prison. For the full story see click here.
So why did the mere accusation of the abuse of a black women by white scum cause a feeding frenzy with the press, while the Haddock and Christian/Newsom murders suffer a near news blackout outside local press reports? Because it doesn't fit the obsession of race with the press in particular their anti-white racism. (Yes whites or anyone else can be self-hating racists.)
To quote Wikipedia on this case: This case has raised concerns by some media commentators that the race of a victim of violent crime has an impact on media coverage, as Williams is black and her assailants were white. CNN contributor Roland S. Martin questioned why this case and the Christian-Newsom case had not been a source of greater outrage for the public and media than the Vick dog case. Megan Williams, her mother, and Crystal Boyd were featured and interviewed on The Montel Williams Show on March 4, 2008.
Worse this racist double-standard and refusal to deal with massive levels of black crime only hands ammunition to the few white racists looking for an excuse. This also unfairly tarnishes the reputation of entire black community. But the mainly white-liberal racists that live in their gated communities care nothing about Derrion or Emily, just a political agenda. They are the true racists.
In summery there is a double standard when it comes to reporting cross racial crime in America. This will only serve to increase racial tensions, which seems to be the intention. What other conclusion can we come to?
