However, if OP can't use common sense and basic logic to figure out why violent 'black on white' crimes get less media attention than its counterpart, then I don't think his issues with that concept can be resolved by a forum discussion with anonymous starcraft fans. | ||

If the nature of the posts, and the subjects one posts in are continuously the same, where the point of the posts and threads is to evoke controversy, one is a troll. Troll, or Trolling - To fish in by trailing a baited line. posting in only one type of topic, continuously, is trolling. | ||

I also prefer discussing topics that affect our society, rather than inconsequential SC2 drama. I apologize if anyone finds this too controversial. I feel it is a valid subject that crosses racial lines. Even Thomas Sowell has given commentary on this issue. If you won't listen to me because you have a prejudiced image of who I am, at least try listening to Thomas Sowell. | ||

There's not much to debate unless you want to bring race into it. Trayvon Martin was pretty much reported as a crime with racial focus. I guess that may be the difference. Would it be considerd a random act of violence if the culprit was white and the victim was black? Not likely. There is something wrong in the western world, when a miniority group is beaten for whatever reason its racism, when a etnic miniority does something its is a random act of violence. | ||

I'm not sure I believe the words I just typed entirely, but there's probably something useful to get out of it. | ||

Black-on-White Crime and the Reasons for a Media Double-Standard Yes, there’s a double-standard. And until there’s full equality and the long slow process of racial healing is completed, the double-standard has to remain. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/blackonwhite-crime-and-th_b_1521775.html | ||

Seriously. Nothing good is ever going to come out of this thread or one like it. Why wait until it gets out of hand. | ||

We can have an intellectually stimulating discussion and people on all sides can learn something and become wiser for it? Nobody will be harmed by debate, why stifle it? If you are not interested in a topic, don't read it and don't post in it. | ||
