Black Man Murders 5-Year-Old White Child For Riding His Bike

This story pisses me off. The headline pisses me off too.

The Daily Mail has a history of race-baiting headlines. I’ve talked about it and posted about it many times. Every chance they get to highlight a minority person being abused by a white person, they will. However, when a black man murders a white kid, the headline strips out those typical racial identifiers.

I don’t know if this was racially motivated. It doesn’t sound like it is. That isn’t the point. The media uses race-baiting regularly to demonize whites, even if the story wasn’t racially motivated. We know how this headline would have looked if the races were reversed. It’s a form of grooming.

Daily Mail:

North Carolina police have charged a neighbor with the murder of a five-year-old boy who was riding a bike in his own yard when he was shot at point blank range on Sunday evening.

Darius Sessoms, 25, was taken into custody by Wilson police around 24 hours after he allegedly approached Cannon Hinnant in front of the young boy’s father’s house at 5:30pm and shot him in the head.

Hinnant’s seven-year-old and eight-year-old sisters witnessed the killing, their mother told .

Sessoms lived next door to the family, and the killing is not believed to be random. Neighbors claim he had dinner with Hinnant’s father Austin on Friday and had been over at the house earlier on Sunday.
