A camp that is made up of mostly black children were denied entry to a private clubs' swimming pool after the racial make up of the kids were discovered. The camp had signed a contract with the club for use of the club's pool. That story will gain more media attention then this story even though, both revolve around race. However, when minorities are the victims, the media is more sympathetic then if minorities are not 5he victims. Check this story out from Ohio. Does anyone really think hate crime charges would not have already been filed if the victims were minority and the preps white? This is why hate crime laws do not work, the protected races are never considered to be racist or commit crimes based for racial reasons. http://www.ohio.com/news/50172282.html I think another story that involves race from the Philly area is getting more attention then this one.
