They do:

stories and their headlines have contexts.

I wholly agree with you in sentiment that context matters, but how the hell is that article equivalent to the one here lol, I have to ask

Your article has to do with white farmers specifically targeted by the black government of Zimbabwe, literal racism, so the race of the farmers is actually relevant.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'equivalent', it's not something I said. I'm also not sure you've interpreted the contexts very accurately but if you happen to be unfamiliar with them, you can easily google up brief histories of Detroit and Zimbabwe and the central role race has played in both.
