absolutely, in fact, most of the time, when the perp is white, he/she is identified

Besides, what good is it to give a news story of a gun on the loose, but not describing him/her by approximate height, weight, race, features, etc...

yes, identify all EQUALLY.

but, that isnt what is done, is it?

that’s funny, because most black people believe it’s the opposite.

Not so in my experience. I’d be interested in seeing some examples, especially any where whites have been identified for no apparent reason other than the fact that they are white.

“Besides, what good is it to give a news story of a gun on the loose, but not describing him/her by approximate height, weight, race, features, etc...”

If all you have is the fact that they’re black and, say, medium height, that doesn’t help in the least. If you have a very specific description, then, yes, it should be released.

“yes, identify all EQUALLY.
but, that isnt what is done, is it?”

Again, in my experience, it is. I rarely see race mentioned unless in the media unless it seems germane to the story. And I never see Freepers complaining because a white perp’s race wasn’t described in the media.
