These are certainly hate crimes. But, they won't be adequately covered by the media because the perps are black and the victims are white. Pretty simple. If this were the other way around it would be a bigger story than Anna Nicole Smith's death, and other stories deemed of the highest importance.

Not to be non-pc about this, but I wonder how much it has to do with who's in the White House. Is there some sense of entitlement in this?

Truly a racially motivated crime. And it's getting marginalized by the press/media, because that's not a pc thing to do, to actually report facts, and posit a motive behind such. Disgraceful and despicable.

I agree and well said..

They are racially motivated, and underreported by the mainstream press. Even when they do report incidents and the race of either the victim or the attacker is known, it is rarely mentioned.
