People need to stop expecting full biographies of everyone involved in something 5 seconds after it occurs. It never happens.
But if you don't know what race was involved, how will you know whether to care or not?
"People need to stop expecting full biographies of everyone involved in something 5 seconds after it occurs."
Well this "people" did not ask for a full biography.
The problem won't be solved until it is made to bleed in the open air. How about a cogent observation, the sort that journalists are so fond of anyway these days:
"Yet another example of the rabid violence which continues to plague the black community."
Unless your name is Richard Jewell.
