“What I’m lamenting here is that there actually are FREEPERS who can’t see though the media meme”
What Freepers? Use your eyes, man! No one is responding to you by saying “gated community” = rich, white neighborhood. Everyone’s saying that’s what the MSM wants you to think. Which, by the way, you’ve admitted yourself. So why do you keep posting? What do you think you’re getting at?
Could it be that you’re still offended that the original poster proposed to wager that your knee-jerk response upon hearing “gated community” was to think rich and white? Well, get over it. You’re smart and literal and all good things in the world. Now, can we get back to bashing the MSM?

Maybe you’re right. I kept thinking in Keith from Iowa’s posts, “what am I missing” here? Where is anyone arguing the media’s point? No one. I still don’t get Keith’s beef.

Scroll up. Posts 76, 86, 95 are post where I’m being told “gated community = rich white people in mansions”... and to that, I say “bovine digestive byproduct” — because they’re not. The location of this incident is a gated community consisting of apartments & condos. There are places in this country that call themselves “gated communities” that are made up of condos/apartments/townhomes/ and even mobile homes.
It is bigoted, prejudice, and perpetuation of the media meme and stereotype to assume any mention of “gated community” equates exclusively to “ rich white people in mansions” .
