The media chooses not to show them because that would mean that we would have to see gang members as humans. this thing goes farther than race, class also. and if anyone had half a brain, they could see that also. by the way, as for whites defending themselves, try calling it protecting the status quo. if people are sooo worried about loosing money and being rich, they get what they deserve.
