Thoughts? Am I being oversensitive? What is the definition of "finding," anyway? |
I don't think it's racist either.....bad choice of words, maybe, but not racist. In this PC world that we live in I don't believe a news reporter is going to intentionally make a racist remark and put it into print. I think it's just a bad choice of words, or coincidence. It's racist when there is malicious intent behind the comment or choice of words used. It's not racist when it was just a poor choice or words, or if coincidently someone reads into the meaning of the comment or choice of words more than what was intended.
I think the media has done a good job of showing what is, and has gone on in New Orleans after Katrina. If there are more black people shown looting, or borrowing, (or whatever name you want to use instead of "stealing"), then that's probably who is commiting the crimes. Why are there more blacks shown commiting crimes? Because BLACKS OUTNUMBER WHITES in New Orleans...It's that simple.
There is that 'ol race card being played again... How lame.
