Imagine for a moment that a man in a car tries to run over several black students at a Historically Black College or University. Also, imagine that man hurling racial slurs at the students while he attempts to murder them.
If that happened, think about what the media coverage might look like. It would be the lead story (perhaps the only story) on every corporate media channel, the front-page story on every major newspaper and social media would be flooded with people posting about the attempted attack.
Quite frankly, that would be justified. Acts of hatred like that deserve to be showcased and condemned.
Why then, did you probably not hear about a situation just like that happening in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday?
Perhaps it's because the students were Jewish, running for their lives outside a Jewish school and the man in the car was yelling antisemitic slurs.
