Are you referring to that stripper video on WSHH? Because if so, yeah that shit was horrific.
I can imagine his friends that was with him that night looking at him like
Reactions literally had me near to flatline. Me being sick is preventing me from laughing as much as I can. I had to hold that shit in like I was trying to swallow hiccups

There's so much the general public is oblivious to. Its frightening.
I wouldn't call it being oblivious vs outright racism/discrimination. Terrorism has become synonymous with followers of the Islamic faith and anyone who looks like a follower of Islam since 9/11, usually foreign. When it is a US citizen it is always "domestic terrorism", "extremist", or "mass shooter" or anything else but the terrorist label the killers should get. Unless they are in some Islamic group or religion, they never get the terror label.

Middle eastern=terrorist
Black/latino=gangbanger or thug
Asian=???
White=mental illness
I think Asian would probably fall under mental illness too. Unless he's a Chinese national.

Are you referring to stereotypes or classifications of actual criminals who commit similar crimes here?

No no... Riovane is absolutely right. Shit that pops up in work that we're forced to acknowledge for what it is is usually presented extremely differently than what is presented 3 degrees after the fact.
Their are a ridiculous number of backyard militias, military trained hooligans, copycats, gangs outside of your crips/ms13/bikers that'll shake the fuck out of you, etc out there that you'll simply never hear about because -even if the media wasn't a money making endeavor first- there simply isn't enough time in the newsday. And the irony is that even with all of that shit, the world is still an incredibly safer place now than it was 10/20/100 years ago.
basically - i seent some shit. and riovane most likely has too. i'm sure kaep has (either of those guys needs to hop on the next podcast for the... 'debut')

I can't stand it when the media use mental illness as the main reason for people doing inhumane stuff to others because it continues to spread this idea that people with mental health issues are crazy serial killers that need to be locked in a cage when that's not true. Shit, the only time the topic of mental health is even brought up is when these mass shootings occur.

How the media and certain people portray criminals by race for doing the same crime such as shootings
My bad, I got you now. But is it not being covered because it isn't "news worthy" or because the info isn' t getting to certain media outlets. I would think Fox News or some of these conservative media types would be all over these stories to use as political fuel. It's got to be more exciting than a cattle rancher with guns. Hell CNN has all day to cover plane crash holograms.
I went to New Orleans post-Katrina and I still get pissed off thinking about how much wasn't reported when there was so much attention placed on the area.

Yeah our views on mental illness are still crazy antiquated over here.
I know university students who's legit response to a family member exhibiting symptoms of schizophrenia would be to "take them to church"

Being in school during that sniper shit was theeee worst in MD. My young ass damn near jumped in the bushes seeing a fucking white van do the slow roll, while waiting on the bus.
Absolutely right about the tune change when they found out he was black.

Yeah I know about this all too well. Things like depression aren't taken seriously the poorer your family is and other things like trauma are shrugged off. At one point I wanted to change my major to psychology because this was a big problem around me and I wanted to do something about it.

So I have a fabulous update.
My dad's radiation treatments seem to have been quite successful. His lymph nodes reduced and so did the size of the obstruction in his throat. They didn't see a breach of his esophageal wall and they said he's in good condition for someone with his problem. Now they'll get more visuals and my dad will have to decide on what do about the remaining mass: surgery, stent, etc.

Brings up the age old question. Getting the shit slapped out of you in a public place loud enough for the deaf to hear it or getting a wrestling move performed on you in front of your peers in high school? Whats worse?
Racism knows no bounds even in terrorism.
I went 5 months and then 2 years afterwards the conditions were essentially the same upon my second visit. There was a LOT of shit that didnt make headlines.
Preciate the assist. In all honesty the shit I saw in the military and the shit im privy to now would make your head spin. There are cats openly recruiting for these upstart "militias" complaining about the government and how they are taking this and that. Majority if not all is usually fueled by racist overtones. Its getting to the point that I can look at some of my "neighbors" and stereotype their "extracurricular activities". This shit will not be reported. It wont be covered. But to further add to the point DY made, you goddamn right its safer now. Compared to just 20 years ago. At the end of the day realize we live in a post 9/11, post-Katrina, post 1st term Obama presidency. Try to imagine how we would have responded to shit if this all happen 20 years ago.
