I’ve been listening to a morning radio station out of D.C. and they keep bringing up this story from Knoxville TN. How it has not made national news i do not know. They are saying race may be an issue. Almost makes me sick to read it. > **[FACT CHECK: Murders of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/newsomchristian-murders/)** > > Account describes the rape and murder of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian. > **[Murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom_murder)** > > Channon Gail Christian, 21, and Hugh Christopher Newsom, Jr., 23, were from Knoxville, Tennessee.

Should it get national coverage? Yes. Will it? If it hasn’t already, it won’t. Race being a factor always makes the news racier, therefore more people will watch (and keep watching) it. ---

There is so much to say here but I am really not going to get into it because the argument will just be a mess. This is horrible in every way shape and thought. It is unimaginable that people of any race or background would do something like this to another human being. May they rest in peace and may their families unite and heal. Thats all from me ☹ ---

[/quote] While i agree with you entirely about the first statement you made, I also feel the need to point out that “Nappy headed hoes” is definitely a racist remark. Sure it’s a funny one, and really was of little consequence and SHOULDN’T have been made into the fuss that it was, but it can’t be argued that it was a racist remark. This incident, while much more awful and tragic is not, at this point, a racist issue. Yet. While we are free to speculate, the fact that the victims were white COULD be only a victim of circumstance. But i DO agree that this would be made into a media assfucking if the roles were reversed.
