A White man can kill two people and send one to the hospital, and walk by the police carrying the murder weapon in clear sight, completely untouched and free to go.

And what happens? A few White men come into the thread and talk about the criminal records of the Black men, about how they had it coming, about what they did wrong and twist and turn absolving the police officers, calling it an accident, or inevitable, or simply unfortunate. But a White killer? Silence, with a little touch of complaining about "the internet mob" or making sure we know he was allowed to carry that gun.

I know what I'd call that. But I wouldn't want to offend.

The hypocrisy is astounding to me.
