Today's story was of a break-in and sexual assault in PG County, again. The newscaster described the perp as tall and thin, wearing a black mask and black shirt. Also announced a $25000 reward for info leading to capture, etc. At no time did the newscaster mention the race of the individual. However, the same story, on ABC a few minutes earlier, did describe the individual as African-American, tall and thin ... etc. So I called NBC news. Asked them why they would mention the reward and ask for viewers help in capturing the individual but *not* provide the information regarding race/ethnicity which would narrow down the possibilities by a significant percent. The response? "That information wasn't available to us." I said, "You mean you knew he was tall and thin, wearing a black mask and shirt, but didn't get his race?" The guy says, "Yeah." I told him that seemed really strange, especially since ABC knew his race. Kinda weird, but that's almost a nightly occurrence for NBC hereabouts. I'm going to take another bite out of this apple, because Herring's post really, truly exhibits his racism. Who but a hater of black people would call a television news room and complain that a story it ran *didn't* identify the perpetrator of a crime by race? Two TV stations described the perpetrator as "tall and thin," and probably also described him as wearing a black mask and black shirt. That information is virtually useless in helping someone other than the victim identify the perpetrator. What are people supposed to do...call the police every time they see a tall, thin, black guy wearing a black shirt? How many hundreds or thousands of calls would that initiate? And if the guy were white, tall, thin, and wearing a black shirt? Hundreds or thousands of calls to the police. The "identifying" info in the news story was useless, as was the mention of the perp's race. Herring called the news station because he was offended Offended? That was bull****, ergo the rest is bull****. Sure, John. All your rightie buddies here believe you... The fact is, you were upset because the NBC station didn't call out the perp as a black guy. You *love* calling out black guys as perps, directly and indirectly. Your posting history here is the proof. |

And if the guy were white, tall, thin, and wearing a black shirt? Hundreds or thousands of calls to the police. The "identifying" info in the news story was useless, as was the mention of the perp's race. Herring called the news station because he was offended by its reportage of a crime story that didn't mention the perp's race, and reporting of race in crime stories is *really* important to our boy John. How do we know that? Because he very often posts crime stories and statistics relating to people of color, especially black people, and people with ethnicity other than his, such as Latinos. Herring wants people to know that *black* people commit crimes. *That* is really important to him. Why? Because he is a racist, and the reporting of crimes by race helps him justify in what little mind he has his hatred of people of color, especially black people. Way back when, and I mean *way* back when, when I was a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star, we were instructed to *not* identify people by race in crime stories, either perps or victims, unless that identification were crucial to and helpgul in catching the perp. Ergo, a white man robbing a convenience store would not be reported as a "white" man, but just as a man, *unless* there was something unusual about his description that might help others identify him, such as, for example, a "white man in his 30's, tall, thin, wearing a black shirt, and with a large, jagged scar on his right cheek." Without that scar, and without a video camera shot of the perp, after all, he's just another white guy. Seriously. "A really tall, skinny white guy with false teeth, hearing aids, and in his 70's, and wearing an NRA tee-shirt and a Frito Bandito mask robbed our store" might be helpful in identifying the perp as John Herring. But absent those additional descriptors, he could just be another white guy, perhaps an unemployed bankster. John Herring is a racist. There's no question about it. The ability to distinguish people by race must mean that we are all, by your definition, racists. Maybe the exceptions are those who are blind. Oooops. Was I supposed to say, "sight challenged"? Distinguishing people by race is not the same as calling a TV news room to complain that a story about a crime did not identify the perpetrator as a black man. Absent crucial identifying information, what difference did the color of the perp's skin make? Only a racist like Herring would call the TV newsroom to whine about a news story that didn't identify a perp as a black male. It's a safe bet that the police report identified the perp's race, thereby narrowing the search down a bit. The rest is just political correctness. Uh huh. How many times in your lifetime have you called a newsroom to complain that a crime story didn't identify the perp by race? I am not addressing the issue of John calling the station to complain. That's his prerogative. It does not confirm that he is a racist however. He may simply be questioning the policy (and politics) of that particular station or network. I am 100 percent sure that the police report included the perp's race, and rightly so. I am addressing Herring's racism. I was specific about that, and his alleged call to the TV newsroom to whine about the fact that the perp's race was not mentioned is indeed further confirmation of his racism. Hey, a major election season is upon us. I expect *all* Republican/Conservatives to give cover to the outrageous behavior of their candidates and their fellow righties. You were addressing my phone call, which had nothing to do with racism, but with incomplete reporting. Learn to read for context! -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner behavior causes problems. |

I notice you get giddy when a white guy shoots someone but black people shooting each other never seems to register on your radar.. The point is, the racial portion of the ID offered by the station that reported it was not relevant. I never get *giddy* about fatal shootings. Why do you keep making up this ****? Feigned outrage? How would you describe your compulsion to report every shooting where a white guy is the perp, particularly if there is any indication that he might be to the right of you. I don't report every shooting where a white guy is the perp, or even a tiny percentage of such shootings. Why do you keep making up this ****? |

- show quoted text - "Sure, John. All you righties think your alleged call was made to complain about incomplete reporting, and not about your racism. Sure." The Johnny should be careful. Imagine if the tv station sent a good investigative reporter who could squeeze a few unfortunate quotes that would make good copy for the nightly news. Mrs Herring would not be pleased. |
