Killed an unarmed squirrel with my car. No media outburst?

Early this morning as I was driving my friends home from the bar where we had spent the night drinking and listening to rock music, I hit and killed a squirrel with my car. The squirrel did not appear to be armed, and the autopsy would should that the squirrel was actually running from my car in an effort not to be hit. Did this receive national media attention? Hell no! Have Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton showed up to Elgin to speak on the squirrels behalf? Not even close. To my knowledge, President Obama hasn't had a press conference or even addressed the issue. Nobody has resorted to rioting or even demanded justice for this squirrel. If it were a white Rav4 and I had hit a raccoon everybody would throw a big stink, but because my car is black nobody seems to talk about it.

Now obviously I am joking here, other than the part about the squirrel dying RIP. But the thing is, there are a shitload of you out there who have posted, shared, or liked links saying that people don't care about black on white crime. If you are one of those people, then fuck you. More than half of those links have a picture of the killer in that case, and it is almost always a mug shot because they have been convicted. The national spotlight and outrage comes because these white people are getting away with killing unarmed black children. Even if you believe Darren Wilson's story, in which he was able to handle all of the evidence for some fucking reason, you have to at least admit that he should be put on trial? Come on. Not the point I am trying to make though. No, not all crime gets this type of coverage. Yes, sometimes that crime can be black on white. That doesn't even compare to the amount of black on black crime that doesn't get reported, but once again that's not the point. If you can't understand why stories like Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin's need a lot of media attention then you are blissfully ignorant about the amount of racism that still takes place in this country. I won't post it because it is too upsetting and graphic, but if you want, check out this video of a Cleveland cop shooting a 12 year old with a BB gun. They shot him within seconds of arrival. The 911 call actually said "I don't think the gun is real but I want someone to check it out". Check it out doesn't really mean come shoot this kid to death as soon as you pull up to the situation. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THE COUNTRY AND STORIES LIKE THIS NEED THE NATIONAL MEDIA OUTBURTS AND THE ATTENTION FROM EVERYBODY. FUCK YOU IF YOU CAN'T SEE THAT.

Whatever, I don't have business talking about this. I am not smart. But I just can't comprehend the ignorance I see on my social media every day. Just watch this Jon Stewart clip. He is better than I am.
