I'm sure many white people would feel they had to worry about black people killing them, if the media would sensationalize and cover it more. Make a huge ordeal about it, etc. Given that 60% of people in this country are white, if they truly wanted to boost ratings---they could boost the hell out of them.

But they aren't. And the major mainstream websites such as NY Times, CNN, and WAPO (or televised mainstream) seems to not be even mentioning this story, let alone sensationalizing it.

Don't you find that strange?

Well, now that I think about it, let's consider what would happen if the media DID convince us that black people are out to kill us. Because of our strength in numbers, and the amount of us that own guns, I'm pretty sure that would lead to a race war. It doesn't work in reverse though...black people already think we get away with killing them, and aside from a few pockets of crime here and there, they don't have the numbers to overtake us.

So maybe that's why the media don't sensationalize these stories. Because we make up the majority of the country, we can become an actual threat. Minorities are not.
