#SayHisName Trends After Media Refuse To Report On Alleged Murder Of 5-Year-Old Cannon Hinnant

[C-south]

Unpopular Opinion - Cannon Hinnant's death was tragic and an unspeakable crime perpetrated on an innocent. BUT, ask yourself why he is being compared to George Floyd. There seem to be no similarities. If there are no similarities why are the two being compared?

My opinion is that it is for nothing more than a distraction. It is to dilute the effect of the the Floyd case. This poor child is being used because he was a white child murdered by a black man in horrific fashion. If it is not the case, tell me what you know about Khyundra Henderson, King Hill, Zachary Sabin, the unnamed child of Makuya Stephanie Kambamba, Caira and Leah Christopher. Were they any less innocent? Were their deaths any less tragic? Why is nobody outraged by those deaths? Perhaps because they were all victims of murder by someone of the same race? BTW, they are all children murdered in the last month. And sadly, I could add far more names to that list.

One was murdered by a true racist and one was a pos criminal that was a victim of his own demise. The double standard and blatant ignorance of what is and isn’t actual racism is nauseating.

You are living in denial.



Not paying for the sins of their fathers, but trying to correct the current sins which are still on going.



You might be a racist if...

The cure no longer fits the disease in my opinion. Where me and you differ is that I believe in punishing and correcting the behavior of the individual. Where you seem to favor collective type action. This is a little off topic, but it baffles me how the standards for scholarships and admissions at some universities are lower for black students than white or Asian. I had a black highschool classmate who had a slightly lower GPA than me as well as much lower SAT scores. Yet he received a partial scholarship to UT Austin and I'm stuck mucking it out trying to pay my way through a much lesser university. How is that justified?

Yes, choosing a woman of color is clearly much worse than you trump hangers calling her an unblack whore.

Choosing one isnt, deciding on the front end that was the only choice is.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

Choosing one isnt, deciding on the front end that was the only choice is.

Not necessarily.

 

[allvol123]

Not necessarily.

Actually, absolutely.

 

[37L1]

And a perfectly rational opinion assuming it is based on factors other than race or sex.

Absolutely. Based on her past and current political positions and behaviors in those past political positions held.

Her race doesn't make any her more or less qualified for the position, nor does her sexual orientation.

 

[OrangeAllDay]

I agree and am not disputing it. But why should the current generations have to pay for the sins of their fathers.

That, unfortunately, doesn’t match their world view. See its pretty easy to understand where this philosophy comes from. It’s a Marxist idea just with race added in. The Marxist see the world through power dynamics. The power dynamic used to be class based, rich versus poor (which definitely has some truth to it), but now the post-modernist have turned the power dynamics to being between skin color. So no matter that more white people get shot by cops, the majority of poor people in this country are white, or you name any other problem facing the white community they won’t care, because they see this fake power dynamic. It’s pretty convenient for people who don’t like to be accountable or responsible (aka most people on the left).

I struggle with such issues and have no good answer. I understand the logic of getting more minorities into college, but at what expense?

 

[dovervolz]

If you don't know the killer's motivation is it wrong to assume it was racially motivated?

The exact same thing could be said about the cop and George Floyd. How do you know it that or basically any murder? What a troll.

 

[luthervol]

Kind of blows your whole approach to this discussion to hell.

Better pick up that mike.

I think I'll leave it laying where it dropped.

 

[37L1]

Litterbug.

You are the pigeon on the chessboard.

That's a fair response. If more people would admit to not having a solution Instead of persisting with a bad one the world would be a better place. I agree that there would be a societal benefit for the nation by having all demographics educated. I think the notion of college for all would devalue the diploma in a sense though, but that's easy for me to say.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Are the authorities calling it a hate crime yet or is it just our resident race baiters? Some of you are no better than Al Sharpton.

That’s rich. You think they are gonna call it a hate crime?

This murder, and the Floyd killing, are indeed different.

The outrage over the “coverage” of this killing by many is due to the assumption (and probably correct assumption, if we’re being honest) that if the races had been reversed, the “coverage” would be vastly different.

Maybe.

I say "nope."

He was on drugs and cray-cray, at least according to his relatives.

Local Law: "Sounds good to me. Diminished capacity."

 

[lukeneyland]

Maybe.

You and Bowl Brother are my favorite liberals on this board. You make your arguments in good faith and aren't fast to cheap low hanging fruit personal attacks.

 

[jaybird_1981]

And just like that he was fresh out of arguments. You have yet to string together two sentences without calling me a name. Why do you believe racism is dead? I will give a fresh example of the racism displayed just recently. Joe names Kamala Harris as his VP candidate. Immediately, I start seeing the Trump supporters begin to question how black she really was and calling her a whore that slept her to power. First, how black do you have to be to say you are black? Why is that important to the Trump supporters? Also, the arguments regarding her sleeping her way to the top would never be made if she were a man. It is disgusting. It is racist and it is sexist.

I don't think she was called a whore because she is black.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

I don't think she was called a whore because she is black.

I mentioned sexist, too.

 

[k-town_king]

AND HOW LONG DOES THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS RUN ON WHAT OUR ANCESTORS DID?
Or do they just want cash and land?

Because it is 2020 dumbarse. You dont get to hang on to that excuse forever

In 2020 America, people DO NOT mistreat black people in any level worth equating to a systemic problem.

Decades ago racism was overt and aggressive. Now that behavior is gone, thus the eternal victim hustlers have resorted to this absurd disguised, hidden, unprovable racism that no one can define. That is convenient.

Still going on to this day.

 

[Y9 Vol]

Still going on to this day.

BUT YOU WOULD TAKE CASH?

 

[VolStrom]

Still going on to this day.

Once you loot a few more stores you'll get even.

 

[85SugarVol]

Maybe.

I think it’s a pretty safe assumption. If we’re being honest.

 

[hndog609]

Maybe.

I suppose it's still technically correct to call 99.99% probability a "maybe".

The outrage over the “coverage” of this killing by many is due to the assumption (and probably correct assumption, if we’re being honest) that if the races had been reversed, the “coverage” would be vastly different.

Not only would the coverage of this specific killing be different (i.e., it'd receive very prominent airtime across all the major networks and much more online coverage, not just an article detailing the facts of the case), but there's be a ton of analysis and opinion pieces on it, and would likely lead to another "national conversation" about race in the US. This story, to the extent that it is being covered, is just kind of a rundown of the facts of what happened. No analysis, opinions, etc. Totally different handling of the story.
