White Man Beaten for Dating a Black Girl

This is a link to an event that occurred right here in our own city. A white man was beaten with a brick by a gang of black men because he was dating a black girl. The media consistently tried to portray the Trayvon Martin case has a white man killing a black teenager, even though the killer was Hispanic. The Martin case made national news for weeks, and yet this case was barely covered on our local news. Why do you think that is? If it had been a gang of white men attacking a black man because he was dating a white girl do you think this case would receive more attention? This crime was clearly due to racism. Do you think people are less concerned with racism when it is black on white?
Hillary Klier, I agree that this crime was clearly due to racism. Most people would think otherwise because it is mainly known to people as being whites being hateful to african americans or other races. Not many people will turn it around having african americans being hateful to whites. It also deals with sexism. This boy was not the only one partaking in the relationship, his girlfriend is involved too. I'm not saying she should have been attacked, but she knows this is just as much on her as it is on him as in the interview she mentions she is scared. In fact it shouldn't have happened to either of them. Clearly their families are okay with the relationship and it should not be anyone else's business. I also agree with the father that had it been an african american attacked, more would have been done to cover the story as well as accusations and arrests being made.
