Jazmine Barnes was an innocent little girl who was murdered by a drive-by shooting.
While her death in itself was horrific, the media really, REALLY focused on her case specifically.
Why? Because they were convinced she was murdered by a white man. It was a “hate crime” …and hate crimes get attention.
This is 7 year old #JazmineBarnes.
She didn’t die in custody of Border Patrol.
She was shot and killed by America’s real terrorist threat, a white man who opened fire on her family’s car as they left Walmart in Houston.

It’s been nearly one week since #JazmineBarnes, a 7-year-old black girl, was killed when a white gunman fired into her mother’s car. We must all continue to #SayHerName. https://t.co/nsW4vzVHNq

URGENT. ALL HANDS ON DECK.
A 40 y/o white man w/ a beard in a red pickup truck pulled up on 7 y/o Jazmine Barnes and her family near a Houston @Walmart and shot and killed her and injured others.
I am joining the search for her killer and have a $25,000 reward.
Need him NOW. pic.twitter.com/ugfA2nJ1k8

Notice anything?
Eric Black Jr., 20, has been arrested and charged with capital murder in the shooting death of 7 year old Jazmine Barnes in Texas. Authorities say a tip led them to Black and he admitted to taking part in the shooting. #JazmineBarnes https://t.co/BkVIsJ8hqR pic.twitter.com/hLYKlJSI33

Yup.
And just like that, the left has stopped talking about this as a “hate crime.” In fact… they’ve entirely taken race out of the equation.
What do you think a casual reader believes happened if they only read these two headlines? They probably believe a white man in his 40’s killed a beautiful 7-year-old black girl. This is why we can’t trust media like @CNN. You must read and vet multiple sources to find the truth. pic.twitter.com/5yrjpmY3He

We know EXACTLY what they believe – what they’re MEANT to believe. This was on purpose… and it always has been.
…But they’re trying to pretend they never did anything dishonest or irresponsible.
According to Fox News:
A Texas Democratic Congresswoman is defending her earlier comments suggesting the drive-by shooting of 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes may have been a hate crime, even though both suspects in the case turned out to be black – and not a white individual as police and members of the public initially believed.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, when asked Sunday by a reporter about some of the comments made in the aftermath of the young girl’s death in Houston on Dec. 30, said it was “absolutely not” irresponsible to make that suggestion.
Barnes was shot and killed while sitting in the backseat of her mother’s car. Witness descriptions of a white man in his forties at the scene of the shooting – and a sketch put out by police – prompted widespread speculation a hate crime had happened.
“I believe – and having written hate crime legislation, knowing the criteria, I believe that this should be looked at as a hate crime,” Lee said during a press conference Friday, in a video posted to the Congresswoman’s Facebook page. “We don’t want to have on the street someone who is willing to kill children and possibly kill them in the name of hate.”
Wait… so EVERY murder is a hate crime now, right?
Because killing someone is a terrible thing to do.
Is that what she’s saying?! Or is she just MAJORLY SAVING FACE.
Will ALL black on black violence be a “hate crime” now? Will she cause this much of a fuss next time an innocent black child is gunned down by a black gang member on the streets of Chicago?
I’ll wait… but I’m not holding my breath.
I’ll stop rolling my eyes at this when Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee starts calling ALL gang-related violence a “hate crime.”
What bothers me is that EVERY CHILD who is EVER murdered deserves justice. They deserve this kind of attention. We should NOT prioritize some murders over others.
But the media doesn’t CARE about black and black crime. That doesn’t stir the people up. They care bout HATE CRIMES. They care about EVIL white people murdering innocent black people. They care about the NARRATIVE.
…and it’s sick.
