"YOU DONT KNOW THAT RACE WAS A FACTOR" ok What from that sentence determines race was a factor? Why is being black instantly the reason someone will call the police? Could it not be that it's because he's a man? Could it not be because of some suspicions action? It could be, and most likely was his skin color in this case, but it's not 100% certain unless it came out of that lady's mouth. I'm not saying racist people don't call the police on black people for simply being black, and I'm not saying this woman isn't a racist. I'm saying it's disingenuous as fuck to base every single article title on a person's race before facts are even out. The news these days is all about "oppression", even when it's not actually related to a characteristic like that. What made her suspect foul play then? Its not disingenuous when you can infer obvious reasons and burying your head in the sand wont change anything. I don't know. I'm not in the woman's head. I don't know her thoughts. We just need to be objective about things. It would be perfectly fine to include the statements that the people involved think it was about race, but his race does not need to be in the title of the article without proof. We're in this phase of "bad thing happens to a minority, so it's obviously because they're a minority" and everyone just runs with it. Racism should be pointed out and condemned when there is proof of racism. It should not be assumed because the victim of the inconvenience/crime is a minority. This is the kind of shit that fuels the racial divide. <cite>nemu posted [p:910261711] in Babysittin...
