Yet another case of two simultaneous mass shootings, one of which gets ignored

[Recursion]

While the country's media has descended on Texas, I'm really just not seeing many reports of the mass shooting at high school in Mobile. I'm wracking my brain to come up with what the difference between the two is and I'm coming up blank

2. They're glad when it's black kids n/t

3. Yup. The message is clear

If you shoot white people, you must be crazy. If you shoot black people, no need to figure out why.

4. You think the national news media is racist?

Our local media covers the shit out of black shootings, especially when kids are involved.

The national media covered it a little. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/08/26/st-louis-officials-offer-100-k-reward-string-child-murders/2121503001/

5. Take a good look at the content of your national media

for the past 50 years and get back to me - that's like asking if the sun rises in the east.

6. I won't bother.

I was actually looking for some substance and perspective.

9. I was looking for the same thing, instead of making blanket statements about mass-media.

8. 10 wounded but no one dead in Mobile; 5 dead and 20 wounded in Texas

You don't need sarcasm; the scale and consequences of the shootings are clearly different.
