The faces of crime.

The white James Byrd and black crime statistics

We've had the James Byrd murder shoved down the throat of every white person in America because we are all criminal racists according to the left-wing press. But that's not the only story from Jasper, Texas. Another race killing that apparently wasn't one according to the press was Ken Tillery. In 2002, to quote, "a white man named Ken Tillery, hitched a ride in Jasper, Texas. He was given a lift by three black men who then murdered him to a deafening national silence. Like Byrd, Tillery was held hostage and beaten. Then he was run over and crushed to death. The copycat nature of the crime made it a natural news story. But there was none, save a modest account in the Houston Chronicle, to which nobody paid any attention. This savagery was apparently nothing. The pigments were politically incorrect. It was only some white guy, whose ancestors probably owned slaves." Ref. Black Racism: The Hate Crime That Dare Not Speak It's Name by David Horowitz FrontPageMagazine.com, July 16, 2002.

To quote the Chicago Tribune June 10, 2007 story by Howard Witt entitled What is a hate crime?, He asks, "Some are asking why no media outcry over murders in which victims were white and those charged are black?" He seems to try to play it off as white racism again, but he presents devastating stats that prove my case.

What the statistics say: African-Americans bear the brunt of violent crime in the U.S.: In 2005, the most recent year for which statistics are available, blacks were more than twice as likely as whites to fall victim to serious violent crime, most often at the hands of other blacks. Blacks are also the overwhelming majority of victims of attacks recorded by the FBI as hate crimes. In 2005, blacks were the victims in 68 percent of nearly 5,000 hate-crime incidents nationwide, while whites were the victims in 20 percent of the cases. Whites accounted for 60 percent of known hate-crime offenders, while blacks accounted for 20 percent. But on the other hand, when overall cross-racial violent crimes are tabulated - including incidents not formally classified as racially motivated hate crimes - Justice Department statistics show that blacks attack whites far more often than whites attack blacks.

In 2005, there were more than 645,000 victims of cross-racial violent crimes between blacks and whites in the U.S. In 90 percent of those crimes, black offenders attacked white victims....contemplating that statistic, "when you said 'hate crimes, it was automatic - whites victimizing blacks...

Let's do some math here.

• One in Nine young black men in jail
• One in 100 black women in jail

Visitor Comment

I wanted to address the above page where you assess the media's downplay of black perpetrators in the news. "Checking around the Net, it seems a lot of the liberal news media are getting upset with something they see as another random crime and that racism is behind the "white outrage" as they call it. No Mr. Liberal, it's your bias and political agenda along with the useless and savage murder of two young people."

I'm not sure what paper(s) or media outlets you are referencing but I think you need to use the web for a broader range of information. I would like actual links to support your above comment as I could find no such statements made by either liberal or conservative publications. Perhaps if you lived in a larger city you would witness more coverage of black, Hispanic, and white perpetrators with offenses both within and outside their community/race. Injustices will be found against all people, all colors, all sexes.

We have to remember that it is human beings, who have flaws and motivations, who are behind the amount and context of reporting the perpetrators and their offenses receive. I think it is the media that hypes the race card as they know being controversial will equate more readership, sales and responses. The news industry was once renowned for serious, professional coverage. But I am sure that you yourself have observed over these last few days the mockery that the news industry has become with centering so much time to the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Essentially what we are watching is gossip news with asides of actual happenings in our world. I have questioned whether it is the fault of the industry or the people who devotedly watch this nonsense while simultaneously hating that it is covered in abundance.

Today is the first time that I am reading about Channon Christian and Chris Newsom. (June 9, 2007) Racially motivated or not, their deaths should have received more attention due to the horrific manner in which their kidnapping, abuses, killings and disposal were conducted at the hands of 5 individuals. Hopefully the trial will receive more attention and that 'justice' will be brought to the memory of Christian and Newsom who themselves are unable to see it. Thank you for providing links and quality information about this case. Though a bit political, it does make one think, which is what the news should do. A.

My response: The comment you mentioned above was mine and that's why I never attributed to anyone else. Thanks for your input.
