Some people wouldn't care, I'm sure, but most would. It doesn't matter if the kids are white, black, brown, yellow, purple with pink polka dots, it would be the same painful tragedy. I think, also, of the Chinese children that were killed by a man with a knife. They couldn't have died quickly or painlessly. Their families are in as much pain. Their friends and neighbors are just as afraid. It doesn't matter what color they are. Evil is just evil, straight up. Death is death, pain is pain, fear is fear. I wish people would really get past the race issue. It doesn't matter. People are who and what they were meant to be. They are people, just like you and me. No better, no worse. I care. |

I was thinking when the story broke, that I couldn't imagine the pain the families and friends were in. Unfortunatly, as a mother, aunt and grandmother, I CAN imagine. I almost wish I couldn't. |

notgonna User ID: 27772476 United States 12/18/2012 01:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the kids or the shooter were black the narrative might be different but yes people would care and the coverage would be just as intense... One thing that's interesting is that the lily white aspect about this turns the narrative more toward gun control and systemic issues with mental health and parenting/divorce that I do not believe would happen if the kids or especially shooter were black... FWIW, though I will say the only way race might make a difference in an individual's ability to connect emotionally with the victims and their families - sympathy versus empathy - but yeah the coverage would be immense... Remember how 9/11 hit home but the London or Madrid bombings didn't resonate to the same degree? Another example of sympathy vs empathy... Not me tho - breaks my heart the same no matter the color... Just so sad. Really sad when there's even a possibility of more to the story and how sinister fockers will stop at nothing to achieve their goals... |

And the media would be on the side of the blacks. They are starting to turn this into a gun battle because these were nothing more than little white kids to die and white teachers. The 'drama' of the murders is all but over. Now they want whitey's guns. Meanwhile, in Chicago and Detroit and LA, little black kids get shot up all day long and nobody cares unless it was a white man doing the shooting. |
