I looked at the pics in the article.
The guy in question didn’t look dark skinned at all.

Besides, I think he’s a red herring - there’s no way he’d be close to where the bomb was going off unless he were stupid.

Lots of muslims are white.

Lots of non-muslims have dark skin.

And vice-versa.

Hey, we’ve got a big Amish community down here in Sarasota and they get pretty tan hanging out on Siesta Key Beach. So, I’m going with that.

I would not say lots of Muslims are white as we consider white

Bosnians

Most are swarthy....black or Oriental

Very few white as in typical peckerwood

Why aren’t we looking at women on an equal basis as the men?
Women are too busy planning their parenthood.

Lots of Lebanese look quite white although they may have thick eyebrows and dark tight hair.

The media seems preoccupied with pinning it on the wounded white guy who ran away instead of crouched despite the fact that police said it was a dark skinned male who dropped off the bomb.

The picture of the guy running away tells you nothing - running away was a perfectly logical thing to do. Also, you’ll notice there are other people running away. And a remote controlled or timing device, but he was so close that it blew his pants off?

There is nothing suspicious about the man in those pictures. That’s not the suspect.

the only think I’ll say about the guy running away is that it seems he started to run early....meaning that everyone else is stunned/paralyzed yet he is running....perhaps if this is the guy, he set the bomb ticking and then had 5 secs to move away from it....just saying....

Agreed. This guy looks more likely:

“Saying someone is dark-skinned is saying something a lot broader than “African-American”.

A good example is Barack Hussein Omoslem.

50% white. 44% arab. 6% black.
