Letter to the editor: Media should be more equal in reporting

Although I have no case in point, I absolutely refuse to believe that no white person has ever been killed by a Black officer in the commission of a crime or as a suspect of a crime. Why is that? It’s not on the news, there are no protests or mob violence, no property destruction, nothing. If the media would stop racial reporting, perhaps we would have a different outcome.

I am absolutely in agreement that the police were inexcusably wrong in the death of George Floyd, but what would have happened if he had been killed in the same fashion if he was white?

Perhaps we will be closer to equality when the media reports a man was killed by a police officer during an arrest for …

Notice there is no Black or white here. When we stop thinking and reporting in Black and white, we will have achieved equality. The slogan “Black Lives Matter” is not one of equality. All lives matter is equality — and that includes the unborn.

We pray for peace, healing, a cure for this pandemic and all things, yet we continue to watch violence on TV and in movies, we condone abortion and break commandments every day. The Ten Commandments were not 10 suggestions. Which faith condones racial prejudice, mob violence and killing the unborn?
