US rapper and dancer suspects in Tokyo hotel death of female Irish student

Police probing death of Irish student in Japan charge two US men with assault of her friend - Telegraph

Two charged with sex assault on murdered Nicola’s friend - National News - Independent.ie

Sounds like the Japanese police believe these two scumbags drugged two young women in order to rape them.

White victims, black perps - Obamanation's mainstream media seem to be quiet enough on reporting this! How remarkably odd.

Yes, that's the reason it's not front page news.

Wow, that's ugly.

Why would you add race baiting to a story that is already so horrific and tragic?

It has much more to do with it being in Tokyo and an Irish victim. US media is self-centered, much more than it is racist.

1, oh, that gets reported on way more here than you think it does.
2, that has...what, exactly, to do with the issue at hand?

Disgusting story. I hope those assholes get a nice, LOOOOOOOOOOOONG prison stretch.

Oh, a murder! There are so few of those that the US media usually reports every single one. Good sleuthing, financeguy What is our next step to bring this to the attention of the ignorant, liberal masses?

I would like to know whether I am now supposed to:
A. distrust any person with a different skincolour
B. recognize that Obama, while he has as much to do with this as Nelson Mandela, is evil; or
C. both

Heh. This could be interpreted in more than one way.

You've completely lost the plot. Unfortunate.

The blacks have totally been running wild in the streets, guys, because of Obama.

Too bad the LAMESTREAM media doesn't want you to know this.

Haha, I thought of that after I posted that, too .

So. Wonder if there'll be any explanation for the bizarre, random tangent about the "Obamanation" stuff? I'm kinda curious to see why that needed to be part of the post about the story.

Rap music is almost uniformly misogynistic. It is significant not only that these events occured after a rap music concert but also that the suspects seem to be not just ordinary fans but people directly involved in the industry.

For those talking of racebaiting, it surely can't have escaped you guys attention that are almost all rap music performers, producers and prime movers are black males, and that they largely escape critcism for their unapologetic and brazen misogyny (with the honourable exception of some of the older generation of black soul musicians, like Smokey Robinson). You surely don't believe that an industry controlled largely by white males would get away with it?

Rock music's pretty damn misogynistic, too, and many people who aren't members of the PMRC or groups of that sort have been able to look away from their less than savory aspects for years . Yeah, there's some really nasty aspects of the rap world, but there are people who listen to it and don't commit such horrific crimes, who are able to separate stupid actions/words in music from reality.

These people would do this stuff whether they were involved in the rap community or not because they're creeps. If you're going to do something that horrific to somebody, you'll do it no matter what because there is something seriously wrong with the wiring in your brain. And if I were to find out they grew up in homes with shitty excuses for male role models, if one even existed at all, I wouldn't be at all surprised. There's plenty of factors that could explain their behavior.

And that still doesn't explain anything about the Obamanation comment.
