Racism Comes In All Colors
I find it most interesting that some of the reports would have us believe ‘the motive was financial in nature,’ but the idea of the couple being interracial, that apparently two of the four men served with Pietrzak as Marines, and both of the couple’s mothers seem to believe there is more to the story than simply robbery…hmm…Even BlackVoices seem to believe the couple being interracial had something to do with the murders. Just how many robberies end with the persons ‘tortured before they were shot execution-style’ and other disturbing reports?
Truth be told, if this had been four white men there is very little doubt in my mind that the racism card would have been played by the media. Such is why I found it odd that a good number of the initial reports seemed to suppress the race of the suspects (not the article I have posted here obviously). Although the majority of race crimes which seem to get headlines are those committed by white persons, to be honest, ‘Racism Comes In All Colors.’
Genesis 9:6Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Regardless of race and regardless of the reason, this couple was robbed of life and their families of their presence, by the sin of murder (and possibly more also).

Thank you for addressing this issue here at the blog. As a black woman who is a former Marine who is also in an interracial relationship, I was shocked and saddened by this recent act of violence. I'm glad to see that other people are talking about this not just the "black media." I don't like the way the mainstream media is trying to downplay this as a hate crime. The fact the Pietrzaks are an interracial couple is important to emphasize because as you said, racism comes in all colors, and if someone wants to disbelieve what Hebrews 13 says about marriage being "Honorable in all" and kill these two beautiful young people simply because they don't like it, that is a sin as well as a crime. May the Pietrzaks rest in peace and justice be served on their behalf.
Racism is more likely to be motivated by religion.
