ABC primetime is covering the racism issue.
Including the two photographs: one of a black person "looting," and the other of white people "finding."

I never thought those contrasting photos would see the light of day in MSM.

Has the country Finlay decided that we have hit bottom with these assholes at the helm? God I hope so!

7. Not to defend that if it was racism...
but has anyone came to the reasonable conclusion that the photographer/reporter was at the scene and witnessed one person finding food floating near a store, and the other filling a bag with things and emerging from a store? Is it possible that the person filing that photo did not drop down from Mars in the middle of it, and indeed witnessed the events leading up to it? Or are we all so quick to cry racism, when we haven't a clue about the backstory of the photos??

8. Any chance that perhaps you are being quick to explain away
what is blatantly obvious to even the most unattached observer?
