Where is the outrage when black men commit racist killings against white people?

How many white people must die due to racism before the media and Democratic presidents and politicians start discussing them? After the incidents of the last few weeks, it’s an important question that needs answers. And it’s a recurring omission that we should all be tired of happening at this point.
You’ve probably heard of Jordan Neely. He was the black man who died on May 1 in New York City after Daniel Penny, a former Marine, placed him in a chokehold after Neely harassed and threatened passengers. The case is under investigation, and people still do not know all the details of the incident, yet Neely was already considered a victim of racism. Outrage ensued, and somehow, almost instantly, protest signs were printed and distributed, and rallies were organized (including some by the New York Young Communist League — a political group that fuels many acts of these demonstrations of racial animosity and division).
Conversely, have you heard of Lundin Hathcock? How about James McDaniel? They were two people shot to death in Tulsa, Oklahoma, last week. Have you heard of the killer, Carlton Gilford? I would guess that most people haven’t heard about any of them. But Gilford was the black man who shot both white people on April 18. Tulsa police charged him with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of shooting with intent to kill, and one count of malicious intimidation or harassment — Oklahoma’s version of a hate crime charge.
Two incidents of interracial homicide, a couple of weeks apart, and only one of them received widespread media attention and scrutiny. Only Neely’s death made most newspapers and the talk show circuit. The legacy media purposely cover up hate crimes committed by black people because it doesn’t fit the cultural and political left-wing agenda.
Furthermore, as people have tried to shape Neely’s death as a hate crime, Hathcock and McDaniel’s deaths were actual hate crimes. Yet those who parade around pretending to be outraged about racism do not care when the victims are white. Where is the outrage when black men commit racist killings against white people?
Democratic presidents, politicians, pundits, professors, teachers, and legacy media don’t even remotely care about white victims of hate crimes. They routinely engage in despicable omissions to advance radical, agenda-driven narratives to perpetuate myths about a systemic racist and white supremacist society. They claim to care about ending racism but are only concerned when the victims are nonwhite people. And many times, they even falsely insert racism into incidents in which there originally wasn’t any.
People must become vigilant in exposing the Left’s indoctrination and brainwashing campaign on racism and hate crimes. It is an utter disgrace, though unsurprising, that Gilford didn’t receive as much attention as Neely. It is an incident that affects everyone. It isn’t a white or black thing or a Republican or Democratic thing. We should strive to end all hate crimes and racism, not just those the Left can use for political propaganda. Every victim of hate crime matters, regardless of skin color.
