She commented on the March 9 shooting of five black people in the poor Pittsburgh suburb of Wilkinsburg.
"You needn't be a criminal profiler to draw a mental sketch of the killers who broke so many hearts," Bell wrote March 21. "They are young black men, likely in their teens or in their early 20s. They have multiple siblings from multiple fathers and their mothers work multiple jobs. These boys have been in the system before. They've grown up there. They know the police. They've been arrested."
In the same post, she also praised a black restaurant worker in a way some readers felt was condescending.
No arrests have been made in the case.
Bell's comments sparked a backlash from some who saw her words as racist, but also drew defenders who found her post honest. Bell is seeking back pay, punitive damages and her old job.

Should haven’t have apologized
facts are facts
Obviously, this is some combination of white privilege and racism.
But in Amerika's traitorous kakistocracy today, truth is verboten and punishable.
You can say that again . . .
Dare not speak the truth in today’s society.
This is how shame as a motivation tool has been neutralized.
No, shaming is alive and well.
But it’s now used to control and silence the people who would criticize bad behavior, not the people who practice it.
Here's a twist, her husband is black.
A news outlet was stupid enough to hire a “white” person to begin with? That’s about as risky as hiring a Jew.
Hokey Smokes, Bullwinkle ! .. !
I see. So that’s why she was hired. Lesson learned, media: no more whites!
That’s fellow anchor Andrew Stockey. I knew his first wife.
I find it very odd and distracting when a website puts up identical writing with a small unrelated blurb between the doubled text.
I’m not sure why editors allow this.

Double post much?.....................
She won’t get a job in Houston. The few white slots are filled. And there are few.
So much for that “honest discussion about race” that we all knew was a farce to begin with.
Truth is the new hate speech.
News anchors should not be commenting on “news”....via social media. Their bosses at the station tend not to like it no matter what they say. That said, her comments are spot on. Everyone in the area knows Wilkensburg is predominately black. The Amish & Asian presence is lacking. It is a sad state of affairs but well documented in any given rap song. Some rap artist....wait, I can’t use that word since Rap isn’t art. Some rap singer...wait, I can’t use that word because rap isn’t singing. Some rapper could turn her words into a song. Can I call rap music a song?
I am so confused...... ;)
