According to the original post...

“The man is described as a Black man between 18 and 20 years old. He stands between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs about 150 to 160 pounds and has short, cropped hair. At the time of the incident, he was wearing jeans and a hooded sweatshirt with narrow horizontal stripes.”

Who woulda thunk?

Before I read the article, before I saw the picture from the surveillance camera, I made a prejudiced guess as to the ethnicity of the perpetrator. As in most of these types of news releases, my guess was confirmed. Why is my prejudice and stereotyping so often correct? If such a conclusion from scanty evidence is so often vindicated, why am I publicly castigated for such analysis?

I know the answer, but it's still depressing and so Orwellian.

Hmmmm. Jeans and a hoodie. Isn’t that the standard uniform of 0bama’s “if I had a son” sons?
