Kill nine people in an attempt to start a race war but you’re white and hungry? That’s okay, we’ll get you some Burger King. That’s what the #CrimingWhileWhite hashtag is for!
#CrimingWhileWhite means that when your story gets featured in the news, you’re written up more sympathetically as white a killer of nine than a black savior of one:

One example of how a black man with a rifle was treated in Phoenix, Arizona in 2009. I imagine much of the difference in treatment has to do with preparation.
