Yes, you're wrong. One of the stories the BBC website has been covering the most has been about a suspected rapist who disappeared with a 15-year-old. They have footage of him.

Guess the colour of his skin.

I would guess the color of her skin is white.

he dissapeared with a 15y old girl. I guess Palynka was assuming the news had filtered down to you.

I don't think we should judge someone like this by the color of their skin, but the heinous nature of their crime.

Just my opinion.

According to mikelom, if Skin was a man, she'd be a potential rapist of disabled girls. Luckily, she was born with the right chromosomes, so she's a singer.

Of course. But the question here is if we can, like mikelom, guess the color a man's skin by the nature of his crime.

And the answer is yes we can guess. The question is, are we right or wrong to guess? I'd say no. Guessing does not make someone a racist. I'm pretty sure all races and genders commit crimes.

You never did answer my question. Was the girl white?

Please show the link you were talking about. I am interested in the story.

It's sad how you can defend mikelom when his intent and words are crystal clear. Is it a game now, guessing criminal's races?

She was white. So was he. You can find it here:

I disagree entirely with you, I don't think we can, or should, try to guess the color of a man's skin by the nature of his crime.

More RN hypocrisy exposed.

RN motto: It's better to try to spin racism onto PFC members who call a TSM racist out, than admit the TSM member has racist tendencies.

Keep 'em coming RN. 😀

I also guessed that the story involved black men. Why did I guess that?

1) The story was presented to us by a white person.
2) Most violent crimes are reported heavier in the media when a black suspect is involved.
3) White rapists don't usually make front page news unless a white woman is the victim.

Yet we know that the prisons have white ...[text shortened]... em also. I am thinking that there isn't equal reporting in the media. Why is that? Am I wrong?
No, you are right. The media is quite racist. You never hear them say "white crime" like they do with "black crime", "asian crime", etc. When whites commit crime it is just "crime".

The media also tends to sensualize crime.
