I think it wasn't national news because it wasn't unusual.
In Trayvons case, a hispanic/white killed a black teenager. That's news.
But in the baby in his stroller killing and the waitress killing, it was just another black guy shooting somebody. No news there.
Mr Obama must know there's a reason white people clutch their purses and lock their doors when a black guy walks by. Nobody's saying all blacks are criminals, but there is certainly a higher percent chance you'll be mugged by a black guy than a white. It's called being cautious.
And I know people will blame this on a higher percentage of blacks live in poverty, are poor, descended from slaves, whatever. I just don't buy that crap. You shoot a baby in the face or shotgun a waitress for tip money, you got more problems than being poor.
I remember some black comedian saying something like "Even black people would rather run into a white guy in a dark alley at night". Was he being serious? Was he catering to a white audience? I don't know.
Even Jesse Jackson said he was relieved when it was a white guy behind him instead of a black.
