Sure it did. He took your passive aggressive racism and mixed in a dash of white victimization whining. Think of it as an accent wall.

You two should look into MRA. They could really use men like you.

Style points for using a tragedy to blurt your derp, too.

I don't know, i'm of two minds on this. On one hand, simply eliminating race from all reporting is whitewashing the racial issues we have in the country. At the same time, reporting on the race can help perpetuate a sense that all crimes committed across races are committed due to the race. However, if they're going to report the races involved, they should do so in all reports regardless of who's perpetrating the crime and who's the victim. Otherwise it's as if the press is looking to skew their stories to fit a narrative that they're trying to establish.

That "narrative" they're trying to establish found an actual system of racism at the Ferguson police department that purposefully singled out blacks. If more cases of corruption like that continue to be exposed, I'll take it, even if it makes the "Where's White History Month?" crowd upset.

I'm all for calling out corruption, but they're creating a narrative when it involves only civilians, too. Why does the race of the attacker and victim get reported with the redneck kills the black man but not the other way around? If they're going to mention it one way, then mention it both ways. Call out the white-on-white and black-on-black crime, too. Let's not forget the Asians and Latinos, either. I want complete transparency, not a false or contrived narrative. Report the facts, don't selectively report the facts. It should be a matter of journalistic integrity to provide as much information as possible without any attempts at exageration or fear mongering.

In requiem to the cameraman, I must say "excellent job" in getting your murder's face on camera. You were a professional even while laying dying. I sincerely wish you hadn't had to prove your professionalism and ability in such a horrendous way.

Now, to the murderer: I care not and none about your "reasons". Enjoy facing the eternity of your own making.

I won't post it or a link to it but the people at The NY Daily News should be ashamed.

That was entirely my point. Lost on Kepler and the other race baiters, of course. Kepler consistently laments the righty 'echo chamber', but he's so quick to play the racism card in typical lefty echo chamber fashion. Why offer up an actual answer to valid questions, when it's so much easier to play the race card instead?

Woke up this morning to find more than one Facebook 'friend' calling for the banning of the rainbow flag, in response to yesterday's murders. Time to clean up the ol' friend list, I guess. Good Lord.

The friend has a point. Turnabout is fair play.

LOL. Keep spinning, you may lose some weight. :rolleyes:

You injected a total BS point to get your ya yas out, I called you on it. That's all that happened here. Admit you were doing your morning stretches and move on.

Racism sells and gets ratings. It also keeps people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton in a job, because that's all they know or see.

My first thought was, "What, the Post didn't think of it"?

They did. (link is to a story concerning the images, NOT the images themselves)
