    White silence is violence

    News List | Wilson, NC
    True: a black man has been arrested and charged with shooting a 5 year old.
    False: the rest of Owl’s claims.

    The Wilson Police Department has been made aware of numerous posts containing false information on social media, including some posts that look like they were releases from investigators. These are fraudulent posts. You can help us by reporting these fraudulent releases to Facebook so they can be removed.

        Come on.... That's a little ridiculous. The news is obviously being reported with a very clear narrative that white man = bad and black people = oppressed victims.

        The question isn't whether that's the narrative or not. It's undeniable that it is.

        The question is... Is it true? Or not. We can debate whether or not past colonialism, slavery, and modern institutional racism are the root of the issues in black communities.

        But it's not really open for debate whether that narrative exists in the media, it objectively exists.

          Well, the narrative that OwlHoot claims is false, good to see that the BBC didn't report it the way he has on here.

          True: Black guy shot kid.
          False: "no reason other than he felt like it" - Currently no reason/explanation has been given by the police, the accused or the boy's father.
          False: "in the street" - it appears the shooting was not in the street but in the front garden, possibly from one front garden into the one beside it
          False: "casually walking on" - no, they were neighbours, no walking involved.
          Was it deliberate? Was it premeditated? Was it accidental? No chance of that being discussed as the far white have already made their decision and are getting their version of the story out there.
          Worse still, it's being lapped up and believed 100% without question.

            It objectively exists only in your mind and the minds of people like you. But if paranoid media conspiracies give you comfort, go for it.

            The BBC didn't report this murder either. Even though it was white culprit and non-white victim.

            It was very sad. The first person along after the stabbing was his primary school teacher, who called the emergency services and administered what first aid she could.

              I feel a little sorry for you if you believe that there is objectively a narrative in news reporting in the media that "white man = bad". I am a white man and I've not picked that up, and I'm a regular reader of liberal news sites. So I'm denying what you say is undeniable. If you think it is an objective truth that the media narrative for news reportage is "white man = bad", you should have no problem in demonstrating it.

              However, my money is on you having a victim complex. Ironic, eh?

                    Yes. But it didn't seem inappropriate in response to Owlhoot's post about a kid being murdered in the US.

                    Fewer than the US it seems, thankfully. It was completely tragic.

                      Which doesn't seem to stop people complaining about them reporting world news...
