Those who insist that too much was made of the story seem to have no higher expectations of young black men; here in the northeast it got so bad you’d have news stories detailing a robbery, and police asking people to call this or that number with tips, then only giving a height and clothing description of the perps - race is deliberately omitted!
Those in denial may want to continue Obama’s illusion that there is a non-white alliance, which is just that: an illusion.
Still happens in MD.
If race isn’t mentioned in a crime report, we all know what to automatically assume.
It’s not racism; it’s just deductive reasoning based on [typical] historical precedence.
How long was “Chief Moose” looking for those “white guys in a white van” [undoubtedly all dressed in white, too] before somebody finally mentioned the “DC Snipers” *might* be black?
They still don’t classify that as an act of “terrorism”.
[two Muzzies on a serial killing spree...nope, nothing terrifying, there]
I thought only news outlets in DFW left out race when giving decsriptions of perps. Case in point: a mugger was ‘working’ a section of Dallas with a large number of restaurants and clubs. News outlets gave description of height, weight, clothes and a distinguishing feature(a gold front tooth) of the mugger. Left out of the description was the race of the mugger. Mugger was eventually caaught and turned out to be black. Many who lived in the surrounding neighborhoods or frequented the establishments in the area complained that if they had been given the perp’s race, they may have been able to identfy him sooner.
One of the local conservative talk show hosts addressed the complaints of so-called black leaders over the sheer number of black men locked up in Texas’ jails or prison system. He said flatly more blacks are in jail and prison because they commit more of the crimes. Specifically,blacks commit more of the violent crimes and are rightly incarcerated for them.
In the end, stories like this should serve as a clarion call to the black community that something is seriously broken in their families and culture. When you turn out more perps than PhD’s or more thugs than taxpayers, that should serve as a red flag warning that something is seriously broken and needs to be fixed. Just my $0.02 worth.
