i think what he means is if the races were completely reversed, like if it were a black woman murdered in the same way by a white man. 

because i agree with you, if it were a black woman murdered by this same man not many would bat an eye.

Violence against women is so common and normalised that people only care if it suits their political motives or if it's a pretty woman. These people are so quick to sensationalise violence against pretty white girls by minorities that they're completely blind to the amount of sexual and physical violence white men (all men really) commit to women every single day.

If this very same woman had accused a rich and powerful boss of sexual assault these would be the same mfers accusing her of lying for money and attention.

yeah those two situations are in no way comparable. its so obvious that im not even going to bother spending any time on that. 

i dont see that violence against women is common and normalized though, because you need a comparison group for that. in this case the comparison group is men. violence against men is way more common and way more normalized. this is an objective fact. i think a lot of people were shocked by this footage regardless of political motive. i mean, it is shocking to see. i already outlined in another post in this thread why this video is getting so much attention, i wont do it again, just scroll up.
