Topic	New York Times: Don't let your black children be friends with whites
The Great Muta 22 11/14/17 2:53:24 PM #235:	pinky0926 posted... Inflammatory remarks like you'd hear down at the pub, then backed by an opinion piece which fleshes out the reasons for such a wild claim. If you're upset that an op-ed reflects poorly on a newspaper, maybe the issue is that you're unfamiliar with op-eds. Being the visceral reaction that this article has gotten I'd say it was generally effective in doing what headline writing is supposed to do, and that's grab the readers attention. The problem arises that like with much of headline writing, it predisposes people to formulate an opinion on the article without actually reading it and likewise it'll turn off plenty from bothering to read it. Like, I doubt many people here who commented on it actually bothered to read it before reacting. That's not to claim the headline or the article is valid, and I absolutely have issues with it, but I suppose it's a matter of what kind of reaction you're looking for when you write. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXezjbuzh14 <cite>The Great Muta 22 posted [p:890382279] in New York T...
