Here's what Megan Kelly had to say about the double standard:



I can only assume that Obama's daughter wouldn't look like Kate.

But you do make a good point that it could be because the "white folk" aren't out there rioting. When will they ever learn?

Your little meme is terribly offensive to a young lady that lost here life for doing nothing more than going for a walk (It sort of looks like her father when he was asked what her last words were as she was dying in his arms). But others won't find it so; because the girl that was killed was white.

But to answer the question asked. I think it has to do with his views on immigration and the source reason why this guys was even on the streets in SF

I think Ms Kelly was pointing more to apples...Oranges in the reaction from the White House. Obviously color plays a role; however, the question is who is taking color into consideration.

Unfortunately your answer is if the white folk want to get an FBI investigation, compassionate comments from the POTUS and the DOJ on site they must riot and march.

Seems like all that shouldn't be required; however, sadly you are most likely right.

Obama's comments of Trayvon Martin’s death:

 
Any compassion or assurances of justice to Kate’s family?
 
 
Obama's comments of Michael Brown’s death:

 
Any compassion or assurances of justice to Kate’s family?


Obama’s comments on Freddy Gray’s death:

Any suggestion from the Whitehouse that crime by illegal immigrants is “not new”?


Of course there are other differences besides the reaction from the Whitehouse. For instance the criminal record of the victims:
Freddy Gray
 
Kate

 
There is also a difference of what the victims were doing when they were killed:
 
There are numerous other issues, such as representatives sent to the funerals and the criminal records of the suspects in each case; however, it is really pointless to bring up and many will attempt to paint you as a racist, as demonstrated by many here.
There is a chance the Whitehouse will ask for an apology from the Steinle family for being white and having issue with their daughter being killed by an illegal immigrant. Because it appears that many here think that is reason enough not to address the issue.

It seems a few agree that it did; while others just think someone is racist for pointing out the differences.

It was an American citizen killed by an illegal immigrant that most likely should not have even been in the states, much less on the streets. Race shouldn't matter to anyone; which is why I asked the question in the manner that I did.

(07-14-2015, 06:32 PM)bfine32 Wrote: Yes, I asked the question in such a manner to determine if race were a factor. Obviously it is to many. 

Do you feel guilty yet?
