The other day I checked in on my racist sister's timeline & saw she posted a meme with a picture of a Black man's mugshot asking why the media did not cover this man murdering a white woman in Tulsa OK as much as Trayvon Martin. It's on Snopes, so I guess lots of people share it
Anyway, looked up the case. The man was convicted & is serving 4 consecutive life sentences for the rape and murder of the white woman. Meanwhile, George Zimmermann was not even arrested until protest demanded it. He also walks free to this day. So, not the same.
I know of one Black man who got away with killing white people and the media have been covering O.J. Simpson like flies on honey ever since.
Seriously, fellow White people, stop pointing to cases where Black people commit a crime, are convicted, and sentenced to prison as functionally equivalent to White people killing a Black person and getting criticized on social media and by protest marches.
Given the impunity with which White murderers of Black people are treated, protests and mean tweets are all they usually ever suffer. With GoFundMe's and auctioning off the murder weapon, they seem to profit from it.
