From another article (written by Dawn Turner) found via a hyperlink “It’s too bad that young black men have become the poster children for so many of society’s ills.”

If young black men didn’t commit so many crimes this wouldn’t have happened.

And she knows it just as well as everybody else does.

I really don’t get it, most of the time the victims of black criminals are other blacks.

But, black people don’t seem to care about that.

When everyone’s a victim nobody’s a perp. Liberalism has really ruined the black community.

We do not reference race unless it is a fact that is central to telling the story.

In a city that all, regardless of politics, concede is quite segregated how can it NOT be central to a story of a preconceived mob roaming the area around a university campus? In other words, isn't mention of race especially in relation to location/neighborhood the default position instead of the other way round?

There was a huge, unexplained dip in the Dow during the last election. McCain suspended campaigning. Was that a Soros warning shot??

The blacks in these attacks specifically targeted whites. But the psychic media know race wasn’t relevant at all. How do they know this?

As a matter of protecting the public, isn’t knowing the race of perps relevant?

While a newspaper can withhold racial descriptions, TV news can't prevent people from seeing the race of a suspect when a picture is shown on screen while the crime is being discussed. At least until the TV stations start putting image Burkas on protected minority suspects to avoid profiling.

Race is always relevant. If ninety percent of crime and mob muggings are done by blacks and illegals, that is news and needs to be reported.

Excellent. Can’t wait to throw this in some lib’s face.

When the Left describes social disfunction nothing could be more important to them than “race”, when anyone not considered “elite” describes social disfunction our “elite” go into a hateful panic. Yes the mobs are black and yes they come from a disfunctional culture, yes I said it and damn PC to hell for destroying our country.

No surprise these clowns still haven’t figured out why the Trib is bankrupt.

I don’t know if that’s actually the case for the Trib but news outlets here locally inadvertently reveal their bias in this exact way. If it’s a white guy they mention it - if no mention then it’s pretty easy to guess the rest.

They are also not releasing the race of the victims.
Why is that?

The Tribune has a “feedback” section after most of their articles on the Internet. Virtually every one of the articles concerning these incidents has been shut down due to repeated “policy violations”.

I like that one simply because I have a mini-wiener dog.

This happens quite frequently in Dallas. A detailed description of what the perp(s) was wearing, weapon and car description, but no description of ethnicity. Giving out the perp(s) race is not racist, it is simply giving the public another piece of valuable information.
