		<description>Eric. I commend you for not deleting my comments, that shows some courage and at least a willingness for a fair discourse. Eric, I was not &quot;trying to say&quot;, I simply said it. Your O.J. comparison is off base, that case was not just about race, it was money and privilege that amped it up. If O.J. and the victims had been working class, we would never have heard about it. In regards to crime statistics, all one needs to do is to look at who preys upon who and in what disproportionate numbers vs their population numbers. The figures are astounding. The FBI crime stats are still somewhat unaffected by political correctness. However it is disturbing that &quot;Latino&quot; crime is being lumped in as &quot;White&quot; so that skews the data more than a bit. I think we can both agree on the fact that we both have an agenda or point of view. My point of view has been shaped by my own personal experience and informed by my studies.</description>

		<description>Reckert,

The tragic murders of Christopher newsom and Channon Christian have been covered by extrensively.  In fact a whole wikipedia page has been set up on the loss of these two young people.

I suspect what you are actually trying to say is that the incident did not receive national media coverage because the victims were white and the perpetrators of the crime were black.

You are wrong when you subtly try to argue that black crimes against whites are not covered by national press.  In fact O.J. Simpson would disagee with you immensely.

Your real point if you were brave enough to actually come out and say it is that crimes against white are never prosecuted as hate crimes.  

But that is also untrue. I would simply ask you to take a look at the same statistics I did put out by the Department of Justice.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d like to see someone explore the little known hate crimes commited against Christopher Newsom, 23, and Channon Christian, a 21-year-old University of Tennessee student. The most horrible hate crime that one could imagine occured near Knoxville, Tenn.</description>
