This e-mail was sent to me today and then I watched a blip about it on Fox News as well. The following is a direct quote from the e-mail I received. It was very powerful and I would like to share it with everyone here, Black and White.

"The animals pictured above; car-jacked, then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!

Channon Christian, was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and put chemicals in her mouth ... and then murdered her.

Takeaways
  • White people get killed and raped everyday and you hardly hear anything about it.
  • Maybe we need a couple of loud mouth reverends of our own...
Did You Know?
"So, if a white news radio jock uses the phrase "Nappy headed ho's," it gets 2 weeks of constant news coverage. If two white people are tortured, raped, and murdered by a group of black people, it barely gets a blip in the news."

"And for all the countless blacks that have been killed by whites with no convictions and no trials and gotten away with it, your mad because these got no news coverage, yet justice will be done?" Can you give us a few current examples, Andre. "Being black I'd trade with you. To hell with the news coverage, there are tons of unsolved murders, lynchings, rapes that have happened to blacks at the hands of whites no one cares about." So the killings where justified?

Deez, good story and right on the button. Jesse and Al have no finacial gain by bashing their own on this. They are race baiters. This crime was heinous and all involved should get the needle. Oh and as far as the women on the b-ball team. The reason imus said those things was because most of the girls were all inked up and it reminded him of the mtv rap video crowd. Good story.

PS: I have personally never seen "The Animal Pictured Above Was Denied Parole" featuring a photo of Charles Manson for example.

It is odd that such a horrid story did not make national news. I do not understand why you would expect Jackson and Sharpton to step-up, because if the people involved are the guilty parties, they do no have reason to get upset. Rapes and murders happen everyday and do not make national news. They are committed by people of all colors and done to people of all colors. It seems that the current rash of hate crimes done unto homeless people have been committed by "white" teenagers. Don't see much of that on headline news for weeks on end either.

This should not be about whites or blacks. The race should be no factor. This is about a horrible crime, against 2 human beings. I think they will get the DP, since it's Tenneessee. I wonder what was the motive if any for this? Did the murderers know them or anything? Not that it matters, but out of curiosity Maybe I missed that part, (speed reading)

I hope they all die in Hell or better yet I think we should take them to the place where the crimes were committed and hang them all one by one. Slowy, maybe take them to the brink of death and BRING THEM BACK and Hang them Again. YEA

Regardless of race, I'm surprised this hasn't been national news.

Good one, Deez...
