The lopsided outrage over racially motivated crimes

DIMOND: The lopsided outrage over racially motivated crimes | Rare:
"It keeps happening. Nearly every week there are more brutal crimes that bear all the earmarks of being racially motivated but because the victims are white, you will probably never hear about them.

We’ve all seen the rallies around black victims of white-perpetrated violent crime — and that’s cool.
It’s the right of every American citizen to peacefully protest.
But when did it become acceptable to ignore the same types of crime when the roles are reversed and the victim is white?
Why is it that we hear so little hue-and-cry on behalf of Caucasians who are victimized by blacks?"
