DOUBLE STANDARD: Authorities Target White-on-Black Racism, Ignore Black-on-White Racism

Ben Shapiro

On Wednesday, two race-based hate crimes stories broke. The first broke in Pennsylvania. The second broke in Chicago.

The story in Pennsylvania came courtesy of a 14-year-old white idiot racist who allegedly posted a Snapchat directed at a 16-year-old black student in which the white kid recorded the black kid eating chicken wings, and then called him the n-word and joked that he was on government assistance. Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli announced charges: cyber harassment of a child and ethnic intimidation. He stated, “Harassment, whether it’s based or otherwise, is a crime.” The Snapchat became an issue because the 16-year-old black student attacked the white kid during a football game, drawing charges in juvenile court.
