Re: “I mean, you are aware that this story has been reported more widely than those two sources, right?”
The only thing I know about this story is what I read in the posted links - the Black Nationalist “The Root” and the pro-plaintiff WGN News.
Did you know that there's a way to use the internet to search for information from other sources? Because it seems you're more interested in attacking those two sources than in finding out what happened, which you seem to think is utterly unknowable.
Let me ask you this: Do you think this happened at all?
