The Political Class does NOT care about black folks - The Little Rock shooting

Last night, 25 people were shot at a rap concert in Little Rock.

Little Rock shooting of 25 at rap show prompts call to curb growing violence

Fakenews outlet CNN doesn't even have the integrity to note that it was a a rap concert

25 people shot in one club...no national media "outrage"...no warnings about "bitter clingers with guns"...no shrieks for gun control...

Why?

Well, there were no descriptions of the subjects provided by the media either...it happened at a rap concert...and police noted a relation to gang related crime

We do NOT believe this incident was an active shooter or terror related incident. It appears to have been a dispute at a concert.

so no concern about lyrics in rap and violent crime, eh?
no ginned up media outrage about gangs?
...and no concern for the black victims of violent crime from gang activity.

There is some academic dispute as to whether there is a causative link between rap and violence, or rap and gang activity; there is NO dispute that being in a gang is a predictor for committing violent crime.

Accuracy in Media notes the Ministry of Truth's reluctance to discuss crime committed by black criminals.

As far as the media and the politicians are concerned, it's OK for black people to kill each other as long as the guns of law abiding Americans, including black gunowners, are stolen by the government in the false name of "public safety"

A last note

I don't think that the term "black crime" is the right way to discuss crime committed by criminals that are black

I really dislike the term “black crime”. It is pejorative to all the upper-class, middle-class, and poor people working 2 or 3 jobs a day that share nothing more with some criminals than skin color.
