Black community sees Charlotte as glimmering, fake Oz
Fox News ^ | Sept 24, 2016 | AP

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – To much of the world, Charlotte is the Queen City — a gleaming downtown, state-of-the-art stadiums, sparkling new mass transit, the nation's banking capital.

But a very different Charlotte came into the spotlight in the past few days.

Move outside the city's core and there are neighborhoods like the one where a white police officer shot and killed a black man, Keith Scott, setting off violent protests. Places where residents tire of seeing police only when teams of officers sweep in to make arrests, and remember well other blacks killed by police officers who did not face punishment.

The cop who shot him was black!

Now they’ve changed it to just read “police officer.” Interesting that they could label the officer as white in error, but the correction does not label him as black.

70% of the rioters arrested are Soros’ paid agitators from outside the state. The rest are fatherless adolescent thugs looking for a good time.

This is extremely simple to fix: just pull the police out of these neighborhoods altogether if they’re really not wanted.

Funny how whites or hispanics or jews or asians don’t riot when one of their thugs get shot...

The Progressive propaganda machine created the brand-new racial category “White Hispanic” to help stir things up in the Trayvon case.

North Carolina is a battleground state. Therefore the officer involved in the Charlotte shooting was a “White African American.”

This is not an error. This is deliberate. CWII grows ever closer.

Black rioters and looters re-made Detroit Michigan into the urban black showcase of America that we see today.

Will they do the same for Charlotte?

The lawlessness in Charlotte threatens the future well being of the entire city.
It endangers the investment of billions of dollars in homes, businesses and infrastructure.

What sensible resident or business executive wants to remain in a place where brain-dead throwbacks terrorize, loot and burn their own city?

A wise government would stop the lawlessness immediately but our racist and short-sighted federal government, along with some state and local government officials, actually justify, encourage and condone this conduct.

If it happens, the decline won’t happen in a week, but within a year the signs will be there as people and businesses gradually leave for a more sane environment.

A White African American (who has not shot anyone, AFAIK):

What your seeing is what the Democrats have done all their lives, since the beginning of the Democrat party....

They started ‘slavery’ and had the people on the ‘plantations’ and used some of the women as their whores...

When slavery was outlawed, the Democrats came up with the KKK and kept the ‘plantation’ going...when that to be a hot issue, they moved the ‘plantation’ to the inter cities, where there are either Democrat Mayors or Governors...

So now that places like Ferguson, Baltimore, Charlotte, Detroit are places no man in his right mind would go, they live in filth, their kids have no schooling, and half of the kids don't know who their ‘daddies’ are...and they try to take it out on the ‘white man’...and they are right, it is some of the white men that are doing this, the White Democrat Man...

They now have a chance to come off the ‘plantation’ and live like they should, having jobs, homes, schools, food, being able to sleep at night with out the sounds of sirens and gun fire...

What have they got to lose (loose) to vote for a White Man named Trump to help them? Only their fears...

When a reputable newspaper corrects an error, they note the correction at the end of the article.

Shows that even Fox news has lost its ability to report the news properly. Drudge, Free Republic and the Internet are the only remaining sources of news.

I just copied this a few seconds ago from an AP article.

Move outside the city's core and there are neighborhoods such as the one where a black police officer shot and killed a black man, Keith Scott, setting off violent protests.

I noticed this immediately and it infuriated me. It’s just this kind of dishonest journalism that is the reason millions of Americans now despise the news media.
