This probably didnt get the national attention that it would have gotten if things had been reversed. Grim twist in torture-slay of Marine Sgt. Jan Pietrzak and wife: racial epithets on walls of home

If you're a black man and some poor black kid gets raped or killed every single day, the media doesn't sensationalize it, and you tend to suspect they don't think much of blacks.

On the other hand - the tone of his article leads me to believe, he ain't too fond of white people no matter what they say. He's managed to take a story of incredible brutality and spin his little race bit on it. I doubt he'd tolerate that kind of treatment if the victim was his little sister.

The fact is if this happens it was more than likely a black on black crime, and it doesnt suit the media agenda to make a big deal out of black on black crime.
