Translation: facts are now racist.

This kind if social engineering is doomed to failure . All it does is cause people to realize the media does not fairly report stories, but rather tries to shape thought.

In a way, it’s good because the media used to do this more subtlety and got away with it. Now it’s hubris has exposed it for what it is.

That is about the truth. I want to take another breath, therefore, I must be a racist. S/

“The black community currently has a buying power of $1 trillion, and that is expected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2017, according to a September 2013 report from Nielsen.”

Is this their own money, or ours via wealth redistribution?

“The report found that black consumers watch more TV, read more financial magazines and spend more than twice the time at personally hosted websites than any other group in the nation.”

I can certaily believe the first point (teachers in urban districts can vouch for that - it shouldn’t be a point of pride, but shame; too many watch TV instead of reading.

Does the authoress hang out where these victims of biased reporting do their thing? I doubt it.

I was shocked at the racism when they showed Unarmed Gentle Giant Michael Brown shoving that little store owner as he robbed the store, when they showed Unarmed Gentle Giant Michael Brown flashing gang signs, and when they showed Unarmed Gentle Giant Michael Brown lying dead in the street for hours after the gentle giant’s unsuccessful attack on a police officer. If they had covered or removed unarmed Gentle Giant Michael Brown’s body to contaminate the scene and hide evidence, that racism would have shocked me too. Is there no limit to American racism?

How many articles do we read about crime when the race of the suspect is not given? If anything, the media bends over backwards to avoid making blacks look bad. Put the facts out there. Otherwise, it isn’t journalism - it’s propaganda.

Stop committing crime and you won’t be featured as a criminal in news stories. Study hard, learn English, don’t make babies, get a job, don’t do drugs and don’t steal and you’ll stay out of the news. But you won’t be able to boo hoo your way to victimhood.

Brown has to be described like this:

Michael Brown, a long-armed, 300lb black 18-year-old bullying behemoth!

Neglecting to do so will only perpetuate stereotypes stigmas surrounding race...

Oh, you mean like every single out of work black youth is apparently an "aspiring rapper" ...??? Those kinds of stereotypes? That's not me, that's their friends and family.

...and alienate people of color from mainstream media outlets.

Now that would be a good thing. The sooner anyone of any race, creed, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, etc. wakes up and realizes the MSM is feeding them a bunch of BS the better. Alienate away! Now!

They are upset because this story has mostly gone away after people found out the gentle giant was no gentle giant. People were sickened by the looting and lying that went on in Ferguson. People also realized it was another dem attempt to get out the vote.

It was a truly disgusting spectacle. I don’t expect to hear much until after the elections because another riot and looting could backfire on democrats.

The authoress missed as essential fact: what people post about themselves on Facebook is how they WANT to be seen by others. Was Michael Brown an exception?

It’s pretty obvious that anything youo put on Facebook is how you want the world to see you. What’s to be outraged about?
