Question

the Trayvon shooting in Florida?

We've been hearing about the shooting of Brown now for weeks, people have rioted over this thug who likes to push people around and steal. The same people who rioted and looted then claim they don't get treated well by the police - oh gee, I wonder why! 
I haven't seen a single thing from the media talking about the criminality of the community that Brown came from. 
At the same time, where is the outrage over the murder of a 14 year old girl in her own home? Kelli O'Laughlin comes home and disturbs a buglar. Rather than running away, the burglar stabs her to death and then steals her phone. He later rings the girl's mother and taunts her. The victim was white, the murderer was black. If the races had been reversed we'd be dissecting every bit of the crime like with Martin and Brown. 
The media seems to try its hardest to make out like there's a white conspiracy to keep down black people, white on black crime is rare, black on white crime is common, yet no one is talking about the racism of the black community towards white people, the media only ever talks about (mostly imagined) racism of whites towards blacks.
When will the media stop race baiting to sell stories and go back to being impartial and waiting for the facts before blaming white people for everything?

First of all, I'm not black or white...So, I'm not gonna give a biased answer. (I'm of Pakistani descent living in US)

I think you right...the media does exaggerate on white on black crimes....but my question is...why don't white people do anything about it?  At school, I noticed whenever a black person bullies a white person...nobody will stand up for him...but if a white person bullies a black student...all the blacks in the class stand up for him and say (man, you are being racist)..

Yes, some white people are racist....but blacks are too (being Pakistani, I have experieced most of my racism from blacks)...but why don't you guys stand up for yourself?

While I'll admit the media is racist and only report these stories to keep racism going (after all the media is overwhelming conservative, who only cares about making a profit, and racism is very profitable in this country) your overall analysis seems a bit one sided.

How many weeks did we hear about Cliven Bundy?  The same guy who stole over one million dollars from us over a period of years, refused to pay what he owed, then held government agents at gunpoint, daring them to take "his property?"  Why was he considered a patriot by conservatives but Mike Brown is considered a thug?

Aren't we supposed to wait for all the facts to come in before jumping to conclusions?  Facts like the history of racism in the Ferguson police dept... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Yg6fWxdLE&list=PLE1972007C54625FA&index=83

How about the fact Wilson didn't have a broken eye socket.

How about the fact that even in war we have rules for engaging the enemy and it's never acceptable to kill an unarmed man who is surrendering.

I too am waiting for the media to stop with the brainwashing, race baiting, blaming Blacks for everything wrong in this country.
