Double Standard? Same Circumstances, Same Outcome, But.... Show Details From

This is the same case as the Zimmerman/Martin case, only different.  The races of the two involved were reversed.  Based on the evidence the black man who fatally shot a white teen in self defense was acquitted.  No claim by the President on national TV that the dead white teen could have been his son or later that it could have been him that was followed.  Al Sharpton did not get before the cameras, go to the scene to rile up the locals or do his standard race-baiting routine.  The same for the NAACP.  No congressional White Caucus called for an investigation into possible civil rights violations.  Not a peep out of the Attorney General's mouth.  No white people engaged in riots/protest marches before and after the black man was acquitted.  No media coverage and ceaseless pundit debates about race and the travesty of black on white violence.  It did not reach national attention because the case did not fit the liberal/progressive narrative which ignores rampant black on black crime, or incidences of black on white crime but elevates white on black self-defense to the status of a national blight.  Can anyone say Double Standard?  The bottom line:  humans are humans, some do good things and others do bad things.  Someone's race should never take precedence over the fact that we are all human regardless of race.  Perceptions, biases and human frailties should never trump truth being the truth and facts being the facts.
