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.

Beautiful from the air on approach to CLT, though I’ve never been there. Grabbed a rental car and scooted in the other direction.

The Wizard of Oz was racist because:
1. The tin man was white.
2. The scarecrow was white.
3. The lion was not an African-American one.
4. There were no African-American Munchkins.
5. The bad witches wore black outfits.
6. The good witch wore a white outfit.
7. The minions of the evil witch were portrayed as African-American monkeys.
8. The evil witch’s palace guards were dressed as Black Russians.

Those evil whites, trying to improve their city by modernizing it, and cracking down on crime. Notice how the left uses crime as a code word for BLACKS. Obviously cracking down on crime is RACIST. You would think that with all the contact blacks have with police they would learn how to behave when stopped by them. Make what could be a threatening move and bad things happen.

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

These folks are too busy working 40-60 as week.

Italians also never rioted when members of the mob got shot during an arrest.

Like The Clash sang, "White Riot! I wanna Riot....White Riot! A riot of my own!"

This is a Fox article!?!

This the kind of sneering Northeast Yankee broad brush horse**** that Time and everyone else have produced for decades.

It purports to reveal hidden truths but it is merely a flyover-country pastiche that relies on a laughably small sample of quotes and events to make wildly erroneous categorical statements.

Lazy, irresponsible J-school rubbish.

This also puts the black community in the role of Munchkins.

Just this past week, Charlotte was a sleepy southern town according to another put-down article.

They need to make up their minds.

It’s an AP article hosted by Fox.

Distinction without a difference.

The policeman must have become an "honorary white," just like George Zimmerman was turned into a "white Hispanic" (despite being one-eighth black).

Back when South Africa still had apartheid, I read a book by a black Caribbean diplomat who had gone there--since he was a diplomat representing an independent country they could not subject him to their racial laws so he was classified as an "honorary white."
