Is the international media racist?

Another family of white South Africans has been slaughtered recently. A man has been attacked from behind with a machete and golf club and later killed. His wife was gang raped, mutilated and also killed.

The 12 year old son was tied up and then immersed in boiling hot bath water until dead. It's not yet known whether he drowned or died from the burns he sustained.

The leader of the gang was the family gardner.

The gang of four were all black.

If the races had been reversed this would have been major international news like the white farmer who dragged his black worker behind his truck when drunk one night. Yet we hear little otherwise what is happening in that country. White person attacks a black person though, suddenly that appears everywhere.

Thoughts for the Viana family in any case and all the other forgotten victims of violent crime.

    Even more than racist, they are one-sided stupidly politically correct, but remember, they are catering for the rest of the morons that think like them.....

    Every murder is dreadful - but the media are unlikely to report cases in foreign countries unless there is something exceptional about them (like the Colorado shooting, or the Norwegian massacre last year). After all, there are somewhere between 450,000 and 500,000 intentional homicides in the world every year, committed by people of all races and colours. I would not want my newspapers or news bulletins reeling off a long list of horror stories every single day.

    No.

    Your premise that if the races were switched, it would be different, is also wrong, these cruel crimes happen everyday between people of all colors, and ethnicity in Africa, and around the Caribbean, the World simply got 'used to it', so it's hardly ever reported, except if the victims were tourists, or foreign aid workers.

    It's sad, but true.

    So not racist, because no matter what the ethnicity of the criminals, or victims, these crimes get ignored.

    Blacks are savages. Whites need to recognize that there is an anti-white feeling all over the world because they envy our superiority. Whites need to recognize that we don't need to live together with those creatures, because they only know how to ruin order and civilization.
