When racial clichés drive murder stories

(CNN) - As scores of people head to the National Mall this week commemorating 50 years since the March on Washington, some corners of the media are still featuring passionate debate over whether African-Americans have ignored "a culture of violence" in their midst.
The finger pointing this time comes after the senseless killing of Australian baseball player and college student Christopher Lane, shot dead August 16 while jogging on a street in Duncan, Oklahoma.
From the moment three teenagers were arrested in the crime - first misidentified as three black youths, later found to be two African-Americans and one white guy - some media outlets tried to draw comparisons to the killing last year of black teenager Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman.
But if Lane's death has anything in common with Martin's - besides the sad fact that both killings seemed avoidable and were possibly committed by people of a different race from the victim's - it's the sometimes sloppy reporting used to make points about race that deserve subtler, more precise treatment.

715622 87121Over and more than again I like to take into consideration this difficulties. As a matter of fact it wasnt even a month ago that I thought about this extremely thing. To be honest, what is the answer though? 533414
This case is nothing like the Zimmerman trial.This poor kid was gun down because three children thought it would be fun. 3 children were bored so they killed a man who was out for a run.This story is so sick and demented.
Ironic the Deggans would emphasize this, because racial misidentification was the genesis of the Zimmerman-Martin hullabaloo. Remember when Zimmerman was a "white hispanic." Zimmerman and Martin were two minority men who got in a fight.
