Is the bolding yours, Derrick? I see nothing in that article to support the implication that he was released without bail just because he was black.
There is no such thing as reverse racism.
Yeah, I mean, wouldn't the reverse just be... well, non-racism?
The bolding was mine, for emphasis. This story is another example of the endemic problem of white guilt and white paternalism that is going to do more harm than good in the long run. The story was no where on CNN.com, and the racial websites of course took their own sides. Racism is racism, but reverse racism is a symbol of paternalism toward minorities. The people who shelve these stories are white, not black or any other ethnicity. It's shelved because it raises questions that most whites are either afraid of, or that they are so convinced don't matter that they are irrelevant.
The bigger question is how this ties into the professor earlier who bitched out the cop who was responding to a legit call. I know the black supremicist type, I've read their history books. It's an obsolete thought in American, African, and Atlantic studies (only hacks who are convinced every white person knows someone in the KKK calls it 'African-American' studies, an African American is someone who emmigrates from Africa and becomes naturalized) yet this thought persists in black academia. It's endemic, considering the hatred present within these people and the papers and books they publish.
Tell me if a White man hitting a black subordinate would have garnered the same reaction and a lack of bail? Tell me it wouldn't be non-existant on cnn.com and msnbc.com.
Eh, it was early anyways. This shit does nothing but foster fear, ignorance, and stagnation. Without stories like this, the media will only report white-on-black crime and perpetuate that racism can only be performed by whites afraid of a slave-baby.
