Groups of Teenagers

We learned during the Covington Catholic affair that, if a group of mostly white teenagers are involved in some altercation, even if they were not at fault, the media will put the entire white race on full blast, invoking blatantly racist terminology such as white privilege, an implication that whites have some unspecified but unfair advantage in life, and must be given a handicap. Here are just a few snippets from the flood of mainstream commentary which identified the boys who had allegedly committed a hate crime.

• "Dozens of mostly white teenage boys" - The Daily Beast
• Salon spoke of the boys' "White victimology, white privilege"
• The Atlantic said the boys were "nearly all white"
• The Washington Post described them as "white, MAGA-wearing schoolboys"
• CNN described them as "mostly white"
• The New York Times described them as a taunting "group of white teenagers"

On the other hand, when there is an epidemic of violent, anti-social behavior by non-white teenagers, even when the video and photographic evidence makes clear the crimes and the perpetrators, the media absolutely refuse to specify the race, instead using generic terms to describe them, just as "teenagers" and "youth." Here are a few examples currently or very recently in the news.

• When 60 black teenagers ran amok and looted a Philly Walgreens "group of teenagers (CBS, ABC, Breitbart)
• When Chico police arrested a group of black teenagers causing trouble at a city park. (local CBS & NBC affiliate)
• When one adult and four underage Hispanics shot randomly at cars (2News)
• When black thieves ran rampant in the Seattle area (KIRO7)
• When blacks stole $30,000 in merchandise from a North Face outlet (Insider)
• When black teens were beating random strangers on the street (DailyMail)

Not included are numerous recent examples from Europe, where everyone inherently knows who is being referred to, but all photographic evidence, and even the names of adults who may have been arrested along with the legally protected minors, are kept hidden from the public. As a rule of thumb, if the media reports on some miscreant behavior by teenagers or youths, and does not somehow identify them as being white, it can be assumed that they are not. The mainstream media reports on incidents differently depending on the race of the culprits, because they are racist.
