On PTI they were saying that the reports are saying this was racially motivated and that the raped woman said they were screaming racial slurs at her while raping her and a neighbor also overheard the racial slurs. I get the feeling this story is gonna be huge by the end of the weekend.

It will, but still won't be as huge as it should be.

I agree with this.

I watch MSNBC a lot and they only mentioned this briefly in one news show. The only channel that is really covering this story like crazy is ESPN.

If it was a white woman being raped by black men every channel would be devoting hours and hours to this. Every MSNBC show would have a segment on it. Its just a different reaction.

What are your personal feelings on the media coverage the two different rape scenarios receive? The reason I ask is because you just matter of factly state that one would receive more media coverage than the other. We all recognize this but what is needed is people sticking up for what is right and not just thinking and acting with the masses.
