The perps were also wearing cotton shirts, an obvious racist coded message.

Carroll, who agreed to be named for the first time, said she does not want her situation to be used for political advantage. "This situation could happen to me at the Democratic convention or standing on the street corner. Racism is a global issue," she said by telephone from Tampa. Um, no, Patricia. You'd have to be a member of an honor guard for it to happen at a DemocRAT convention, and it would be spit not peanuts sent your way.

Well OF COURSE it's racist. I mean why else would there be peanuts on hand at the GOP convention if not to throw at black camerawomen?

"Carroll, who agreed to be named for the first time, said she does not want her situation to be used for political advantage."Sure honey. I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.
"This is Florida, and I'm from the Deep South," she said. "You come to places like this, you can count the black people on your hand. They see us doing things they don't think I should do."
Didn't take you long to play the race card did it?

Since the so called perps were thrown out I’m not sure what the story line is.

Without condoning the incident, I wouldn’t be surprised if it had less to do with being a black woman and more to do with being a CNN camera person.

“...said she does not want her situation to be used for political advantage.... She alerted fellow camera operators, producers and CNN security...” No, not at all.
This woman is a journalist - and black and we're suppose to believe she didn't understand taking names might matter? How long has she been a journalist? Has the same thing happened to a NBC reporter?
