How liberal media keeps the divide going

I do get it but I'd eliminate one word from the post title. I don't think the word "liberal" helps but "media" fits well. In the two pictures, two words are covered in the bottom photo. I'd say that one is more appropriate. There doesn't need to be reference to race. You would not see the same story titled with the colors reversed. Equal is equal. IMO, the reference to race is unnecessary and counter productive. And what is a "black church"? Is that the color of the paint?...the type of worship done there? Just what is the purpose of calling it black and what does it matter differently that the man was white? He was a deranged person and I'd not be surprised to find that his mind was negatively affected by what he read in our news and how it was written.

But then "keeping the divide going" in places other than the media would fail.

the post title is what it is. Deliberately worded to empathise some sort of personal issues with "Liberals".

But...

surely there does need to be reference to race.
A police affidavit released Friday accused Roof of shooting all nine multiple times, and making a "racially inflammatory statement" as he stood over an unidentified survivor.

Black church - historic African American church

"You would not see the same story titled with the colors reversed." You jest, surely. If some black person slaughtered 9 white church goers, do you not believe there would be a nationwide uproar and demands for retribution?

Mark

The fact that 'liberal' (and I use the term seriously because it always protects liberal Democrats and 'causes' like the WSO and "Black Lives Matter" groups, etc) very rarely headlines a story when a minority kills a white, even when those are multiple murders. How many times has the media held off 'labeling' a terrorist attack as such even when the typical chant is used during the killings (Ft. Hood is one example, but it's become commonplace to make comments such as 'troubled' or 'mentally ill' right off the bat).

our news media coverage on a regular basis. As to my jesting...no I'm not. I do not think you'd see headlines saying that a black man had gunned down 9 white worshipers in a historically Caucasian church. You would see it but in with similar phrasing as is in the bottom picture link in the OP. There would be no reference to race. What you will see in American papers is pictures of a perp and particularly if the police are still searching for them. You will not hear specific mention of race if the perp is black and victim white. That may well have been done in the past but the reverse is what is happening now.

As for the SC incident, it could have just as well been reported that the incident was being investigated as a hate crime. The mention of his making a racially inflammatory statement does not need to be included as, unless this was recorded, we can't presume it's true. As well, if it was witness statements to police, it would be considered as evidence and such should not be revealed to the press until the conclusion of the investigation.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's due to some great conspiracy nor do I need to attach political labels. I believe doing such things distracts from the obvious truth and even causes people to close their minds to it.

The point of all this is that our media is not acting responsibly during these difficult times and, IMO, is making things worse by inciting people to react out of anger. Of course a good racially motivated riot to report about is much easier to sell than a story about a mixed race barbershop quartet harmonizing.

How quickly one forgets that the Ferguson riots were started over a lie........and that lie was reported over and over...........and has transformed into "Black Lives Matter" rather than "Hands Up, Don't Shoot". Shades of Rahm Emanuel.........'never let a good crisis go to waste'.

Coal mines going bankrupt?....A good crisis?

Billionaire George Soros warms up to coal as stock prices hit bottom

“I find it very interesting that George Soros would buy shares in those coal companies,” said Daniel Simmons, vice president for Policy at the Washington DC-based free market energy group, Institute for Energy Research. “I am confused given the non profits he funds and how hard they have worked to demonize coal.”

Soros, whose Climate Policy Initiative think tank recently urged the world to stop using fossil fuels in general and coal in particular, snapped up 1 million shares of Peabody Energy and half a million shares of Arch Coal, giving him significant stakes in what’s left of the U.S. coal industry.

seal them against any further ability to be used and consider his lost billions to be his last and greatest effort to save the planet.

Soros hasn't become a billionaire by being stupid about finances.....trash a product heavily enough that the prices drop, then buy it all up, and sell it to another country like China that is well known to be using that product like because they have no interest in the climate change rhetoric going on here.

both are businessmen who know a 'good deal' when they see one, and they both invest when they figure they can make a profit.

So what's your point, again?

to run for some public office in Canada?

Have you seen BO's ears lately? Or the dancing coke-headspectacle out of Canada?

Yes, he has one on left side of his head and one on the right side of his head...like most people.

During a Monday speech about peace between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, Obama told residents in Belfast about how his great-great-great grandfather was born in Ireland, as well as his 2011 meeting in Moneygall with his eighth cousin, Henry.

"We knew he was my cousin because his ears flapped out just like mine," Obama said to laughter.

I couldn't find any statements made by Trump joking about his hair.

Business is business

2 businessmen....both know a "good deal"....1 is a "liberal", the other is a "conservative"...you trash the "liberal" and don't/won't trash the "conservative".

Call Soros a "smart business man".....

What does his politics have to do with it?

Business is business...According to you.

his business decision......I've got plenty of other stuff to really trash about.....his business clarity isn't one of them.

Soros tears down and takes advantage of bad situations, often to make them worse, like with the Bank of England.

Trump MAKES advantages by adding, by restoring, by building up. He actually gets things done that benefits others than just himself.

How he broke the bank of England, drove the English currency into severe devaluation, caused taxpayers to pick up the tab for his actions and pay him over a billion dollars. "Go for the Jugular!"

http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/06/go-for-the-jugular/57696/

he makes money doing what he does........that's capitalism to the max and yet he hypocritically denounces the very thing that has made him rich. I trash his ideology and hypocricy not his business acumen.

By that statement, then all military no matter what their color would be killing off those of a different color. Puhleeeeeze...............

There is no doubt that that 'kid' as you call him was a freaking racist..........that doesn't mean that the media would have reported it as they did if a black 'kid' killed a 'bunch of white church goers' (and remember that the description was that it was a 'black historic church', NOT black church goers that made that headline). The fact that the church goers were 'also' black instead of a mixture or even all white appeared to be an afterthought.

true "white supremacists" (those who believe their race is intellectually better or more worthy) and those decent white people (and most are, IMO) who are tired of being suspected of being racists and bigots just because they are white? Could their be good white people who are fed up with being demonized because some of their race commit horrible acts which seem to get more attention than those of other races? I'd dare to say that the same feelings are shared among all races. I'll say the same goes for gender issues. As a male, I'm more than a little bit tired of hearing about men's lack of respect for women or ill treatment in the workplace. Does such happen?...certainly upon occasion it does but the reverse happens as well. Where equal treatment doesn't happen is in the media. They are not in business to let the pot cool down naturally but to keep it hot and well stirred.

to "can't we be left alone"?

If someone identifies as KKK, I do judge the group. There are good and bad people in all races and sexes. He was one of the bad ones and identified with the people that were against any that weren't WASPs.

Do that with black people too?

Can you and your fellow conservatives say that, judge the group regardless of race, colour or creed?

But where is the equivalent to the KKK in the black community?

The Black Panthers? Perhaps. Malcolm X? Maybe. But neither of them strung innocent people up by the neck, or bombed innocent people, or other similar atrocities.

And of course the Black Panthers and Malcolm X are no more. Sadly the KKK is still in existence.
