...
and now, my first (no doubt also ‘racist’) thoughts RE: the race of the assault victim, also appear to have been concerned.

It’s starting to get too easy to predict these things. For the most part, it goes like this:

If the assault(s) involve(s) black attacker(s) and white victim(s) the members of the ‘news’ media go out of their way to NOT mention anyone’s race, and somewhere in the story is a the line: “no charges have been brought at this time”.

If the brutal assault(s) involve(s) white attacker(s) and black victim(s) then the ‘story’ will most likely close with something along the lines of the following: “Law enforcement officials are considering whether to also file ‘hate crime’ charges against the perpetrators of this senseless and vicious assault.”

LOTS of folks have noticed that-it’s not just on FR. Even on “straight” or MSM sites (NOT conservative sites or blogs), I see posts all the time now that read, “Well, they didn’t list the perp’s race in the description, so that means it’s a black man”. Really, I wish the MSM would realize we’re on to that little trick, and stop already.
