Deserves to be condemned<\/a>. \u00a0Period.<\/p>\nLike yesterday\u2019s post, I\u2019m seeing people on Social Media jumping on this. \u00a0This proves \u2026 nothing. \u00a0It proves nothing about Blacks, about Liberals, about Democrats, about Hillary Supporters, about people worried about Donald Trump. \u00a0It proves nothing. \u00a0It proves that bad apples are in every demographic.<\/p>\n
With that said, the same goes for any group, including Trump supporters, Republicans, Conservatives, Whites, Christians, or anyone.<\/p>\n
No, the media isn\u2019t giving this much coverage. \u00a0Yesterday, I had trouble finding a credible report. Found more this morning. \u00a0That\u2019s why I didn\u2019t post this last night. \u00a0I couldn\u2019t find enough stories\u00a0to corroborate the story.<\/p>\n
Do I believe that if this was four whites kidnapping a black man, torturing him and screaming expletives at Hillary Clinton that it wouldn\u2019t get more coverage? \u00a0Of course not. \u00a0It would have been 24\/7 from the beginning. Even now, teams of journalists would descend on Chicago to find everything possible to keep this headline going, and link it to Trump and the Trump era, racism, and on and on.<\/p>\n
Just\u00a0because this is how the press operates doesn\u2019t mean the rest of America needs to. \u00a0See it for the horror it was, and condemn the evil in that terrible video. \u00a0Then wait for justice. \u00a0Show the media how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
