It was the epitome of insulting "trash" behavior - and doing it in an "official" photograph.

then checked the results to make sure they got a good photo?

Here's another from the series:

Now why she thought it was a good idea to be an informal photographer is another question . . . but the photo is just checking to see if she got the picture she wanted which, in my experience, is a pretty common occurrence.

but capturing her sitting that way in one group of people, but not in another doesn't establish that she never sat that way in a room with white men.

This was one photo out of a series taken when she was using her cell phone to document the event (and check the results), so no - no one posed her that way.

My guess is that she might have chosen to take that particular picture because she had never been in such a large athering of black individuals before and wanted to get her own shot (rather than rely on the press corps), but I don't think sitting to check her photos happened because the room was full of black men - it would have happened regardless of the subject of the photo.

While she certainly looked inappropriate in that photo, it's pretty easy to find what looks like a horrifically inappropriate photo within a sequence of timed shapshots.

We've got enough real stuff to worry about without worrying about a carefully selected photo out of a series of photos that makes someone we hate look like their parents never taught her manners.

That's the real scandal. Not as "fancy", but one that "bears" more damage to our democracy.
