    Do you seriously think that if these two teens were WHITE, that the media wouldn't have mentioned their race? I'm pretty sure that you are smarter than that.

    Absolutely. You too perhaps, but do you really think that the media would have been treated in the EXACT same way if it was a white man?

    Correct, but you're assuming that a crime needs to be a CONFIRMED hate crime in order for the media to report race. If that was the case, why was the Atlanta spa shooter's race mentioned?

    I think they would have, and I think less people would have defended the cops..... and as everyone would have agreed, would not be much debate on it

    I will agree that the media that leans left tend to jump to racism too fast many times

    also the media that leans right tends to jump on the blacks, muslims, ect... bad train faster

    both are a problem imo

    people should always close their eyes and imagine, what if they were an other race for both sides

    Meaning they are more likely to demonize those entire groups, for the actions of a few

    Media isn’t obsessed with race. It’s only in your mind.

    So what's your understanding of it? That they just decided to kill a black man for no reason other than he was black? Of course, you won't be able to cite a source to support that!

    So you think it's no big deal for a person out for a jog to be chased down and ultimately killed because he fit the description (being black) of a burglar? That is very telling about you. Not that I didn't already know.

    To my knowledge he hasn't been found guilty of anything at this point.

    That (many) police have an anti-black bias, obviously. You understood well enough to talk about it in your next quote.
    (Who am I?): What perceived police bias?

    If I can't say for sure, living 50 miles north of NYC, I don't know how you can even think you might know what is true about NYC police. Why would this woman have that idea (media brain-washing)?

    Since racial biases exist in the population, it stands to reason they will be at least as common among members of the police. As I said, in the NYC force, I'm really not sure how common it is.

    I have not watched it closely. Everything that I have seen or heard has made the prosecution's case seem continually stronger. What testimony presented, offered reasonable doubt, in your mind?

    When the hell did I say that it wasn't a big deal? I just said that it doesn't mean that it was racist.

    Then why did you say that Chauvin's actions resulted in Floyd's death?

    What was so "sensational" about a teenager in a MAGA hat smirking at an old man?
