Why is it that people on ATRL, who tend to be leftist, are so quiet about the crimes committed by POC and minorities?
It seems to me that people on the political left in general, not just on ATRL, are quiet about the crimes committed by members of their perceived victim classes. Yet the media would have a free-for-all if a conservative, in particular a Trump supporter (which I am not), had been involved.

You're allowed to generalize, but it renders your points ineffective because there's less likely to be evidence to substantiate your broad claims. For example,

Meanwhile, these thread barely even made it to 4 pages. Generalizations are useless w/o evidence.
And on your last point, historically speaking, in the US, the media has usually focused on black crime more than other kinds of crimes. Politicians like Nixon, Reagan, & (Bill) Clinton, have exploited it as dog whistles to the middle American voters.
Again, talking out your ass.
