“No hate in a good biscuit” Is my new catch phrase

Um. Hmm Okay, I can see that. I guess when I saw wypipo, I automatically excluded myself. You know...because I’m one of the good ones.

Always crazy that. Its like women who say that all women should defer to men, and that feminism is bad. Or children of immigrants complaining about immigrants. It always boggles my mind when people embrace the symbols of their oppressors. Its like “respectability politics” os maybe Stockholm syndrome. Its Just…

Meh,... maybe. Its just that its only the head line, not the article. So I am not sure how much “harm” it causes. I mean the article specifies the pro-confederate folks, so it doesn’t look like anyone assumed anything.

ooooo. That would be a great interview.

One could argue that Wypipo is a specific subset of White people.

“those people are either lying or they are stupid.”

There is. Dyscalcula. Check it out and get tested. It might change your life!

Uh. Okay. I get it. I never said that it wasn’t an out of date photo, merely that I did not see from the photo how it was automatically not a recent photo. I honestly did not and still do not think that the kid’s face in that photo was obviously too young for 15. I mean I have seen fifteen year olds that look 30 and…

Still not getting why so many people think this photo could not be a 15yo. Im not saying either way, but why not?

Wouldn’t ethical journalism mean letting the family give you a photo and just say this is a photo from the family?

When you hear those gunshots at a shooting range, do you then assume that a car nearby (that you cannot see into) must be the source, and must be shot at?

Good points, but also who cares what it sounded like. When you look at the car, and dont see a gun...keep looking. When it starts backing up, have the basic sense to know that reverse gear does not mean “I am armed”

“Race is only a problem in this country to those who make it an issue. Namely those who can benefit from it by trying to find ways that they can make any incident have a racial lean to it.” 

THIS totally.

Also, why would the media use any other photo than the one the family provided? I mean they are grieving for god’s sake, don’t they get to choose how he is seen?

How do we know that it is not factually accurate? Is it the victim? If so then it is factually accurate. If it is of him a few years younger, and we cannot honestly say it is, how is it relevant? Even the police don’t think the kid was a criminal, so what is the big deal? Personally I am just glad that we did not see…

I do understand your position, but I think you may be conflating Raging in your face racism with the more subtle expression of racism that is usually involved.

Another point here, is why a report of teens drinking even results in gunplay. And why are the cops saying they heard gunshots, but not addressing whether or not they found a shooter.
