First, Vanessa Harris was happy.
Then, she was shocked.
Turning on the morning news, she was relieved to see an arrest in the sniper shootings. But the first words that came out of her mouth were, "Is he black?"
Like Harris, many blacks in the Richmond area were surprised by the details of the alleged snipers' race.

I look forward to the day when groups of people have the wits to hire a good law firm and sue the media for the crimes that have been committed by their biased twisting and spinning and hiding of truth. They thereby shaped a very divisive world and diminished the dignity of people whose world view was formed by misinformation thus creating a sad,ugly world wherein no-one trusts anyone except those they have,through lies and manipulation,come to believe reflect reality while they do not.They only reflect a fabricated reality formed to benefit the persons doing the twisting,spinning and hiding.
After depleting the resources of the media they can then sue the education system and the government. All monies gained through these lawsuits could then be applied to found media conglomerates,education systems and establish governments that provided ony facts and truths.

>"I just couldn't believe he could be black."
The Media and Hollywood are at fault for this state of mind. In TV and movies the white, gun carrying, straight male is just about always the bad guy. Here, in the trenches of the real world, that is just not true.

the bunch of fascist nuts in their 'compound' up in north Idahoexactly which facist nuts in what compound in Idaho are you refering to? do they have an organized international network of compounds? which religions and "charities" finance them? who are their leaders? which divinity is ordering them to kill people? how many millions of them are there in this facist movement?which foreign governments and organizations sympathize with and support them?

exactly, white and black guilt alike are what come of tribalism and even mere group identification
why would a taxpaying veteran, muslim, divorcee or person of dark pigmentation feel any relation to the perpetrator or be viewed in relation to him? come to think of it, why would one vote democrat or be expected to?

wonder if one reason Chief Moose continued to be the face of the investigation was because authorities had reason to suspect a black man, negating any charges of racism from the usual suspects. My thoughts exactly. Could you imagine the response if a white guy from the FBI became spokesperson a few days before the arrest? ....

Race is just one way people fool themselves about compulsive killers.

Not to mention fooling themselves into believing a white rapist is the "first black president". |

think that they're wrong. Most people will not link this to race. Most people see what this article completely ignored, that these were muslim terrorists, probably acting alone, though I'm still keeping an open mind about that. ...... what if another muslim terrorist sniper begins where the others left off?

And the fact that he was randomly killing other black people made me think he wasn't black.Have they ever heard of black on black crime?
I think nobody is more disappointed that the snipers were black than J Jackson and A Sharpston.
