    You must be reading a different thread. It's the conservatives who keep (re)introducing race.

    Perhaps the thread could have been presented a different way.

    But the main thing is that 2 teenagers, with apparently no motive except to be able to post a snuff video on social media, deliberately hit an innocent man on a bicycle, filming as they did so, killing the man.

    Who cares about anybody's race?
    I agree. Race appears to be irrelevant in this case.

    Why don't you tell that to the conservatives who keep bringing it up (especially seer, who started the thread with comments about race) and stop complaining about 'leftists'?

      So what? If that was two white teens running down a black man, their race would have been front and center. Especially if the video went viral like this one. And you don't have to release names to release the race of the individual...

          Being a minor would only keep his name from being reported. Not his race.

                  I thought I'd check whether there is really a bias in reporting race of young offenders. But while I found a few reports like these:
                  Black teen convicted in beating of white student
                  Black teen arrested for brutal murder of NY college freshman
                  18-Year-Old Black Teen Arrested For Carrying AK-47 In NYC Subway

                  searching for "Black teen arrested|convicted|sentenced" produced lots of results about (i) false arrests, (ii) teens being tried as adults, and (iii) articles starting "Police officer who shot..." Similar searches for "white teen arrested" didn't.

                  So I can't tell if there really is a bias in reporting of race, but there is definitely a bias somewhere.

                    The race bias in reporting exists here and is quite noticeable to anyone paying attention to it. Of course there will be exceptions, but overall, it is as obvious as water is wet.

                        Teen Murderers in Las Vegas Identified, Ending Racial Speculation

                        The viral video of two teens on a murderous joy ride in Las Vegas last month sparked conversations on social media about the assailants’ races. Now, the speculation can be put to rest as the teens have been identified as an Hispanic driver and a Black passenger.
