"Aside from the brutality, there was another troubling fact about this
crime -- a fact that predictably did not make it into the news: the
attackers were black, and the victim was white. Yet, for the first few days
after the attack, not a single news outlet reported on the race of the
victim. Since the attack occurred, only one news item has even indirectly
mentioned the victim's race. This can't be because the information was hard
to come by. The Ocala Sheriff's Office responded to my inquiry about the
victim's race within hours."
"Many well-meaning people will ask why race matters. Violence is violence,
and people are people, so why bring race into it? I sympathize with that
sentiment. The trouble is that, if the races were reversed, this would be a
larger story. It would be a larger story because we have a system of racial
double standards -- some written, some unwritten -- that serve to conceal
the reality of crimes like this."
Bingo.
