Why Did the Press & Political Establishment (But I Repeat Myself) Only Begin Caring about Boko Haram When They Began Kidnapping Girls?
— Ace

Good question.

When they were slaughtering other children -- boys -- our press and political establishment (but I repeat myself) seemed rather not to care.

This focus on Boko Haram from both the media and the government is an unqualified good. The press arguably increased the pressure on global governments to do something about this backwards group of terrorists. But Boko Haram is not a new phenomenon. It was not long ago that some Â– including this author Â– were asking why this groupÂ’s atrocities were not generating any attention in the press.
On February 25, between 40 and 59 children were killed by the fundamentalist militant group. Early that morning, Boko Haram terrorists attacked a boarding school and shot many of children, aged 11 to 18, while they slept. Some of the students were gunned down as they attempted to flee. Others had their throats slit. In some buildings, Boko Haram militants locked the doors and set the building alight. The occupants were burned alive.
All of the victims were boys. Reports indicated that the young girls the militants encountered were spared. According to the BBC, the militants told the girls to flee, get married, and shun the western education to which they were privy.
Beyond wire reports and a handful of segments on globally-focused outlets like NPR, this atrocity went unremarked upon in the popular news media.
February 25 was not Boko HaramÂ’s first atrocity. By March, more than 1,000 people had been killed in the countryÂ’s northeast since the first of the year. Prior to Boko HaramÂ’s shift in tactics, from wholesale slaughter of young men to the kidnapping of young women, the group traveled from village to village where they killed children and razed buildings with near impunity.

I would imagine the answer is fairly simple: The boys and other victims were not in The Victim Class. They were usually Christian -- which is officially an Oppressor Class and not a Victim Class at all. Thus the media and political establishment blesses Boko Haram through silence, as you can't victimize an Oppressor.

To even discuss such a thing upsets the principle paradigm through which all global events are viewed: Victim Class righteous, besieged, and to be defended at every step; Oppressor Class evil, privileged, and to be attacked at every turn.

To confess that someone in the Victim Class might actually commit oppressive barbarism, or that someone in the Oppressor Class might be himself victimized, is to undermine the hideously-stupid Narrative the political elites and the press (but I repeat myself) have constructed to control the masses.

The one wrinkle is that it is girls now who are being victimized, and girls are part of the official Victim Class, and ergo, the Narrative is not offended by noticing the actual facts of the world.

11 Though I suppose I should be condemned for saying it, I suspect much of the outraged outrage being hurled at Boko Haram right now -- yes, I'm talking to you, Mrs. look-at-me-I've-got-a-sad Choom Boy -- is not just that they are girls, but that they are girls of a particular racial group.

That almost makes up for their captors being Muzzies, and therefore Good Guys to the current regime.

If they were little blue-eyed girls, the sound of crickets would be deafening, at least from D.C.

12 Yes; They made it into the victim class because they were girls. Christian boys and adults-meh.

13 The one wrinkle is that it is girls now who are being victimized, and girls are part of the official Victim Class, and ergo, the Narrative is not offended by noticing the actual facts of the world.

That's all true, but there's still the problem of the press ignoring other forms of abuse of girls by Islamists in, say, Afghanistan (where dozens of girls' schools have been destroyed by the Taliban).

For whatever reason these girls are special (maybe because they're Black African?)

14 And why aren't we hearing more about the 100k kids trafficked in this country every year, or the nearly 20% of kids who live hungry every day in this country (1 in 6 = should be a massive deal)? Could it possibly be even more evidence that the messiah of the left is in reality nothing more than a poorly made hologram that does cheap ass magic with a teleprompter? I'm thinking... could there be any effing doubt?

17 anyway maybe because hey killing people because they wacked americans wasn't a necessary war, but saving children, is enough to spend time using media so they can't focus on everything they've screwed up here that is now being noted.(#kindamad)

20 The more I hear about this group (and admittedly I do not know much), the more I think we need to go take care of them. This sounds like the type of group that will only become more and more emboldened. And if we do not have a national interest now (which I'm not sure), we will one day. Better to deal with them now.

51 I say it is because it is in Africa. And not only that it is in a part of Africa that is not widely known are traveled to. There is no Rick's Cafe there.

It's not just because the victims are Christian. Hell look at all the other pogroms that have been going on there for almost my entire lifetime. Most do not give a shit about them either.

And add all that to the fact that the average American doesn't know the geography of the US, much less deep dark heart of darkness Africa.

58 I think that fact that 200 girls were kidnapped certainly helped bring it up but I believe the real reason this wasn't highlighted sooner is it flies directly in the face of Obama's constant bleat that al Qaeda is on the run. They aren't. They are on the attack and making that clear destroys whats left of Obama's credibility in foreign policy. >>Besides AQAP and Ansar, Somalia's al Qaeda-core franchise al-Shabaab and Nigeria's upstart jihadi groups Boko Haram and Ansaru have been in the funding and communications loop too, according to ABC News intelligence sources. >>"We have seen clear indications of collaboration among these organizations," Army Gen. Carter Ham, who commanded U.S. Africa Command when Benghazi occurred, said at a Homeland Security Policy Institute forum three months after the U.S. Mission and CIA "annex" attacks in 2012. http://tinyurl.com/okbgt35 All of these north Africa Islamic terror groups are linked and they are all linked with al Qaeda.

60 Even now, all, realize these girls were kidnapped OVER 3 WEEKS before the Barky Administration allied with Hollywood stars and the 'most beautiful First Lady since Jackie O' and Army of One against fat kids, FLOTUS, to unleash the tweets of Hell on Boko Harem.

Why did it take 3 weeks to even acknowledge the crime and 300 missing girls? Where was CNN's breathless up to the half-hour updates of 'no new info' as with the missing Malaysian airliner? As ace's post shows, this targeted slaughter is not new, indeed, has heretofore apparently been of no moment to Preezy Down Low and his fairy band of henchmen.

95 The press is owned and operated by the Federal Government. They pick a country and start whining about what is going on there to generate public support so Goldman Sachs can deploy their Legions(ie the U.S. Military) to invade the country. I wonder what resource they have? Rare earth metals? Oil? We didn't bite on the Syrian gambit or the Ukraine thing. No one is listening anymore. No one cares. Their stories are crafted to sway public opinion and generate concern. The goal is war.

127 Nigeria has been identified as a regional power in Africa.[13][14][15] Its economy (GDP) in 2014 became the largest in Africa; worth more than $500 billion, and overtaking South Africa while becoming the world's 26th largest economy.[16][17] furthermore the debt-to-GDP ratio is only 11 percent, 8 percent below from 2012 ratio,[18] and is expected to become one of the world's top 20 economies by 2050.[13] The country's oil reserves have played a major role in its growing wealth and influence. Nigeria is considered to be an Emerging market by the World Bank,[19] It is also a member of the MINT group of countries, which are widely seen as the globe's next "BRIC-like" economies. It is also listed among the "Next Eleven" economies to become among the biggest in the world

185 I disagree, one hundred years ago this outrage would be the same, 200 years ago if anyone noticed it at all it would be the mass kidnapping of girls that would have justified any comment. Since the middle ages this sort of thing has been considered a bad thing. It is because women are supposed to be protected. If there is any sexism here, it is the good old fashioned chivalrous kind.

197 Well, the boys who were butchered were black, which _normally_ is an automatic qualifier for inclusion in the Victim Class. Certainly if they had been killed by whites.

However, since those doing the butchering were also black, spotlighting the murders could lead to inconvenient lines of questioning. Including discussions of the historic role of African blacks in violently enslaving other African blacks over many centuries, both predating and post-dating the era of European slaving on the continent.

The identity-politics left stuffed that particular topic down the memory hole decades ago and they do NOT want it coming back up again. It is difficult to square up with other aspects of the identity-politics Narrative.

Well, it's six years now since Bush was replaced by Obama.

Who got Darfur sorted out immediately, amirite?

Um, er, no, actually. Darfur is still an unstable violent hellhole, and plenty of innocent lives are still being shattered there on a daily basis.

But for some odd, unaccountable reason, the institutional left in America haven't had anything to say about Darfur since around January of 2009. Just like a switch had been flipped on one day late that month.

It's almost as though -- but we know this can't possibly be true -- the left cynically fasten on these causes abroad to further their domestic political agenda, while actually not caring much if at all about those causes in reality.

Depends on who is doing the terrorizing. Is it terrorism when, say, the Guatamalan junta in the late 70's, early 80's depopulated whole villages? How about those heaps of corpses outside Guatamala City? How about the murder of missionary priests such as Father Stanley Rother? Three masked men broke into his church in rural Guatamala and, after a brief, brutal fight (Father Rother's knuckles were skinned), shot him dead in the rectory. His crime was showing sympathy for those wives and children you were talking about.

No, terrorism didn't subside. It just changed players, and 'going after wives and children' is an unacceptable way of dealing with it.

Obama/Clinton foreign policy replaced terrorism with "man caused events".
They also studiously ignored religious persecution against any group other then Muslims. By courting global Islam, they hoped to show that they were different than the infidel Bush and that Islamic terrorism would just melt away.
How has that worked out ? Not very well for thousands and thousands of Christians. But they are not Americans, so what difference does it make.

Boko Haram did not fit the 'rose colored narrative". They are an Islamic terrorist group. Ignore them and pretend they will go away did not work.
How about the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt ? Great Democrats ! ,freedom to worship - only if your God is Allah. Coptics not so much. Guess what the Egyptians asked for a mulligan (Barak would understand) and threw out the MB and replaced it with the military, to protect a religious minority.
Hilary and Barak have to defend a foreign policy concocted into their own little make believe world were every one is rational and behaves like the Ivy league professors think they should.
Unfortunately that includes dealing Putin, China, Pakistan, North Korea - a bunch of "local powers" who have nuclear capabilities - oh and about 100 million Islamic fundamentalists who believe in bombs and verses.

262 Honestly I'm loving the liberal defense of the #hashtag diplomacy by the first lady. They're dishonestly stating that the only alternative is open invasion; and since that is horrific, this is all we can possibly aspire to. Tweaking their noses stating their position in different worlds, clarifying it as their unwillingness to accept ANY violence to deter slavery, even sex slavery, and even for children (which is what their position ends up being by their statements) just seems appropriate. If you're going to mangle logic, I'll use your new mangled logic to beat you senseless... then watch you forced to make my position for me (that some violence short of outright invasion, would be a proper response).
