- fidesomnes 5y agoactually the media white washes black on white crimes, lightens pictures to make dark suspects look whiter, frequently refuses to show black perpetrators "for fear of raising stereotypes," and refuses to report on the extent of black on white crimes, for decades. This is documented by any cursory review of FBI crime statistics. You probably don't even know about the white girls raped killed and fed to alligators or tortured for days before being murdered. You probably don't even know the demographics of mass shooters which are surprise surprise, not good for your narrative.
