Twitter Isn't Happy With Coverage Of NAACP Bombing

A homemade bomb detonated outside of the NAACP Colorado Springs office and news outlets aren't picking up the story.

A barber shop next to the NAACP Colorado chapter was slightly damaged in the blast.

The hashtag #NAACPBombing has started trending on Twitter, with users criticizing the lack of media attention.

Many news outlets didn't pick up the story until hours after it happened.

The lack of MSM reporting of #NAACPBombing is appalling. Why are attacks against American people only ignored when the targets are Black?

Crazy because if it wasn't for social media, many of us wouldn't had known about the #NAACPBombing since the media neglected to mention it.

Many are calling the attack domestic terrorism.

Domestic terrorism is a greater threat to America than foreign terrorism is or will ever be. #NAACPBombing

The media is the most dangerous entity on earth. They will flat out ignore terrorism long as it's perpetrated against POC. #NAACPBombing

The silence on the #NAACPBombing is because it is not viewed as a threat to White America. And it isn't. But #AllLivesMatter though, right?

Why does the media refuse to refer to acts of terror perpetrated by white Americans as "terrorism"? #NAACPBombing

Bombings are historical intimidation tactics against organizations such as the NAACP.

In 1951, NAACP leaders' Harry and Harriet Moore's house was bombed, killing Harry. Harriet died nine days later in the hospital.

The Moore's murder case was closed in 2006 and remains unsolved.

The Moore's home after the bombing in 1951, which killed both Harry and Harriet.

Many are drawing comparisons between yesterday's events and events when Jim Crow was in full swing.

The more things change, the more they end up staying the same. 1965 or 2015, I'm not sure. #NAACPBombing #BlackLivesMatter

Same people who scream about "Black on Black crime" strangely quiet about "white on NAACP crime." #NAACPBombing

A bombing of offices belonging to a prolific black activist organisation, on AMERICAN SOIL & American media says. . . nothing? #NAACPBombing

The mainstream media is doing what it always does, and has always done. Ignore acts of violence from white supremacy. #NAACPbombing
