Quite telling indeed. Racists watched the news coverage and saw
little more than black people looting and "shouting gibberish at the
cameras." Realists,


Godlike. Did you watch the coverage?

on the other hand, watched the same news coverage
and saw a small percentage of black residents looting while tens of
thousands of law abiding blacks at the convention center made
desperate pleas food and water.

Jay wrote, "It's hard to imagine black people being presented in a

Hey stoopid! Did you watch the coverage?

What the news coverage presented to the realist was a handful of
lawless among a sea of law abiding citizens doing exactly as
instructed under extremely trying circumstances.


Hey stoopid! Did you watch the coverage? They sure milked the "sea of law
abiding citizens" part for all it was worth. Not. Idiot.

One doesn't need to be godlike to correctly interpret the coverage.
Informed, realistic, and non-racist would suffice. Obviously, you
lack some combination of the above.

"correctly" You haven't yet grasped the concept of question-begging
definitions so it's pointless debating with you on this.
