[From article]
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, ten African-Americans have been killed in the city since the Charleston church murders on June 17. Read about them here.
The Chicago news and entertainment website Redeye lists 16 murders between the 10th and 17th.
The victims, of course, are almost all young men, and no one was killed in church. These black lives matter to their family and friends, but not to the national media.
If racism were endemic in American society, would the mass murder of blacks by whites have happened just once in the last half century?
Serial murders or rampage killings of whites by blacks are rare, but they’ve occurred a number of times. Probably the most notorious were the Zebra murders in San Francisco in 1973 and 1974, where somewhere between 16 and 80 whites were killed, some trussed like turkeys and tortured. Readers will remember at least a few others: Aaron Alexis, who killed twelve whites at the Washington Navy Yard, Omar Thornton, who killed eight whites at a beer distributor in Hartford, and Colin Ferguson, who shot to death six whites on a Long Island commuter train.

And the last thing we can expect from the media is a dispassionate, reasonable response to a crime that, one has to feel, journalists have been waiting for decades.
