At the end of February, two 16-year-old black boys followed a 13-year-old white Allen Coon as he walked home from his Kansas City, Missouri, school.
When Allen reached his house, one of the black boys grabbed him and pinned his arms behind his back while the other poured gasoline on him and set him on fire, saying,
“This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.”
Thankfully, Allen had the presence of mind to pull his shirt up over his head and snuff out the flames.
Police say they are investigating if this might be a hate crime.
Riiiiiiiiiiiight. This “might” be a hate crime … and the media might be reporting this as fairly and accurately as they are reporting the Trayvon Martin killing.
Even the local Kansas City news that reported the incident only selectively reported the racial elements:
This bias is nothing new. Still, it needs to be pointed out every time it happens. And it especially needs to be pointed out this week as the Laughing Stock Media and the race-baiting Democrat machine froth over the killing of Trayvon Martin.
Reverse the colors on the Allen Coon assault.
Can you imagine the hue and cry if two 16-year-old white boys set a innocent 13-year-old black child alight while saying,
“You get what you deserve, black boy”?
The story wouldn’t be reported in bits and pieces in one city’s media, but coast-to-coast in neon.
Al Sharpton would be glowing in the dark with delight at the chance to once again cast Whitey as EEEEEEEEEEEVIL.
And Democrat politicians and talking heads would be pulling chins, shaking heads, and wagging fingers over how it was all the RAAAAAAACIST Tea Party’s fault.
The articles below are all very well worth reading. I hope you’ll take the time.
