FOX NEWS did a 12 minute segment on the Gorilla / Parenting at the Cincy Zoo.

12 minutes is unbelievably long in Television.

To FOX's horror, they discovered the Parents are black. At that point, consistent with so much at FOX, race was banned. In 12 minutes, race was never mentioned nor alluded to in any way.

George Zimmerman was game, only because he was falsely labeled. FOX ate that story up.

FOX insults their viewers by this repeated censorship - and I believe they think due to stereotypes (age), their Viewers will swallow whatever they serve up, and don't access on-line news.

This is why so many racial attacks are not covered by FOX - Political Correctness.

There is a huge void out there for honest TV news.

Why is race relevant? A 4 year old boy’s life was in danger, that should be all anyone needs to know.

I agree 100%. Race has nothing to do with this.

because the black lives matter people originally came out saying this was a case of white privilege that caused an innocent gorilla's death.

Because the BLM folks screamed that the kid was white and the gorilla shouldn’t be killed to protect the little cracker.

So we should stoop to the level of that scum?

Initial stories listed the boy as white, and the moronosphere known as Facebook and Twitter erupted with vile ‘white privilege’ posts.

So it would be nice for that misconception to be corrected.

I will never fight liberals with both hands tied behind my back like Romney and McCain.

Some black lives (don't) matter supporters originally thought the boy was White and made comments blaming the killing of the gorilla on “White Privilege”.

When they thought the kid was white, they screamed bloody murder that the gorilla shouldn’t have been killed to save the kid.

When they found out the kid was black... never mind.

The bigger issue is that the media covers up black on white crime, especially extreme cases like this...

But in the rare instance a white person kills a black person you never hear the end of it.

It’s only relevant as another example of poor black parenting. The surprise is that the father is still in the picture.

He was a good boy and had just graduated high school when the fuzz shot him.

When they found out the kid was black, they changed to say the gorilla was killed because it was black...

The left-wing DEMOCRAT PARTY sleazy response IS the story. The BlacKKK and ecoterrorist verbal atrocities need to be nailed to their foreheads for all time.

It became relevant when the first reports were a White Child, and the Black Lives Matter crowd screamed RASCISM ( with hysterical lack of self awareness of what they were saying).
