Over 200 school age kids shot in Chicago so far this year – media silent

In Chicago, there have been over 200 children shot in Chicago (ages 1-17). 80% of all homicides this year in Chicago have had black victims. So if you take 80% of the 200+ shot, you get at least 160 black children shot in Chicago through mid-August. Yet, there is no media outrage, no Washington Post reporters going to Chicago to investigate why so many black kids are being shot, and no black race hustlers like Al Sharpton instigating trouble. The total amount of black homicides (of all ages) in Chicago so far this year is 196 people. Are these victims somehow less important than a Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin?

So when Wesley Lowery and Ryan J. Reilly decide to go to Chicago and find out why all the blacks there are getting though, maybe then we will take their ‘concern’ for Michael Brown seriously. Why are the blacks that are getting slaughtered in Chicago not newsworthy? Is it because they are somehow less import than a Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin?
