Do you think that white people aren't shot by police?

Seriously. I don't know the actual ratios but I think technically more white people are killed by police every year but with the proportion to population is higher percentage of blacks. Something like that. I don't know.

White people are getting shot, the news media just doesn't find it interesting enough to report on.

Nor do they report black on black murder which is highly prevalent. There is a reason Chicago is called "Chi-raq".

People are only interested if one color kills the other.

The recent emphasis on using "blue" as a universal donor for outrage has been lovingly cultivated by the media as an angry viewer keeps watching.
