Eh, this is really fucked up and I don't suggest reading it if you're in a good mood.

One thing that makes this interesting is that it happened in January but the media has done very little coverage on it, for reasons I believe due to the backlash it could have on society and the coinciding stories at the time (Duke case).

Basically a white couple got completely dismantled by 4 black men and a black woman.
Description
Excerpt:

The animals pictured above "allegedly" raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch it happen.

An even more cruel fate awaited her...

Channon Christian, was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and put chemicals in her mouth ... then murdered her.

I can't corroborate the EXACT details of what happened, although it is something along those lines if that is an exaggeration.

Some general information
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channon_Christian
Sources

It's fair to say the news should have covered this story, but just from reading it I felt a sense of distaste for blacks for a couple of minutes before I came to my senses.

Saw this before, it was mentioned by people pissed off by the Don Imus controversy

Bet your ass if 4 white guys did this to a black couple it'd be everywhere

Why would you distaste black people because of this? That doesnt make any sense

Gemminy jillickers! Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

edit: Also, you grow distaste for an entire ethnic group over the actions of a handful of people? You mean to say this reinforces your underlying racist feelings, mirite?

The mother fucking media is afraid of racial outbursts from within the white majority. Stupid assumption, incredibly disgusting how manipulative the media diverts such an attention away.

Despite the gruesome nature of these murders, they received virtually no coverage in the mainstream media. Some commentators have said that this is due to a media bias which provides more coverage to cases in which whites allegedly attack blacks (such as the Duke Lacrosse case) than vice versa. [1][2] [3][4][5]

Five citations. Want to guess where they link?

The "reason" to have a distaste for blacks after this: Because the antagonists involved were all black, and we notice skin color whether we like to or not. It is easy (although not exactly reasonable) to take a case, or several cases, of extremely disgusting behavior such as this, notice that the perpetrators were black, and then mentally attribute one of the features associated with the criminal behavior as that of being black.

The reason not to: It simply is not rational or logical to take the claim "X's are bad. X's are also Y's. Therefore all Y's are bad." That's the logic that we can easily operate on, but it's obviously fallacious and is deadly for more than just unsound logic (it creates more tension between races, creates unspoken racism, etc etc).

It's sort of like how we're all afraid of doing anything that the Nazis did; if the Nazis did it, it must be evil. It's just a weird association that doesn't make sense when it's actually examined, but it does make sense how the association comes about.

On that note, Hitler was a vegetarian. Hence why I think eating meat is morally superior.

Wow, the people who use this story to counter the Duke case is really....god damn conservatives using tragedy to employ their ideas.

Surprised Fox News hasn't picked up on it though.

But seriously, can anyone confirm this from a concrete source?

This happened awhile ago wtf.
