The black woman who was harassed by Republican National Convention attendees says "I know racism when I see it and when it's being thrown at me."
Everyone's been talking about the horrifying, is-this-seriously-happening-in-2012 incident at the Republican National Convention, in which two attendees threw nuts and taunts at an African-American CNN camerawoman, telling her "This is what we feed to the animals at the zoo." Everyone, that is, except the camerawoman herself.

Translation: "It was staged, and we don't want people to find out."
Their “Passes” were taken away. NOT their “Credentials”. That means they aren’t Delegates.
Yes, I know she was not really attacked. I was just playing along with their absurdity....
See #41.
But aren’t the racists suposed to carve racial slurs on her skin?
Circle jerk journalism. CNN reports it. 92 other media outlets pick up the CNN report with no verifying details in it. No one does any independent investigation or fact check of the CNN report. They all report it as if true and verified. The only outlet to get an actual statement from the alleged victim is an organization designed to advance racial grievances. Hmmmmmm. BS!!!
No one took their names? I don't believe it.
She doesn't remember which state? I don't believe her.
Neither RNC security nor the police took their names? They didn't get their passes either? So what did they do to ensure they wouldn't come back?
But she knows racism when she sees it.
And thousands of FReepers know BS when they hear it.
Even Wolf Blitzer could get this one, "I'll take 'Blatant Bull$hit' for $2000 Alex."
Why would she allow her name to be used in one article and ask that it not be used in the other?

“This is a RAT stunt.”
Like when Barney Frank and John Lewis claimed they were the targets of gay and racist insults and were spit on by some mythical Tea Partiers.
