Fox Sports pundit and Outkick the Coverage founder Clay Travis ripped the media’s coverage of a mentally handicapped white man being tortured by four black people in Chicago.
“I think what we’ve seen here is that the media only wants to cover racism that exists from white to black people. They don’t pay attention to anything else that happens in this country. And I think it’s because, one, the media is liberal, and two, the media wants to cover stories that mattered in their youth. So the media is still covering race in this country like it’s 1965 or 1968,” Travis told his audience on the Thursday afternoon episode of “Outkick the Coverage.” (SLIDESHOW: These Sexy Women Are Celebrating Donald Trump Winning The Election)

Reverse the races here and there would be riots and it would lead news for months. Now? Crickets.

Good thing black people can’t be racist. Because those videos kind of look racist.

Interesting how the @nytimes still has no story on the Chicago hate crime. Reverse the races you think that’s the case?
