I don't need to be hectored about how to post on DU, I've been doing it since it came into existence.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Yes, you do need to be hectored about this. You had the information. There are so many stupid

OP's like yours, context free. Note well: your OP is stupid, not you.

UK /ˈhek.tər/ US /ˈhek.tɚ/

to talk and behave towards someone in a loud and unpleasantly forceful way, especially in order to get them to act or think as you want

[octoberlib]

26. CNN also had a white reporter there, Josh Campbell He was allowed

to keep broadcasting. Wtf.

[Sunsky]

27. Yet the white reporter was given the ok

Josh Campbell was told he's ok to be there. Racism is embedded in our system. I believe he was arrested because of skin color. That's the only explanation I can see for the difference in treatment.
As an AA my heart is bleeding. I just simply cannot take this crap anymore. I chose a profession where I could have a positive impact on people's lives. I don't care whether you are white, black, blue or orange. The color of one's skin is just genetic and nothing else. Our bodies go through the same processes. We live, we bleed, we feel pain, we grow old, and we die just the same. I don't understand it.

28. Notice that only the Afro/Latino CNN reporter Omar Kiminez was arrested

with his crew but not the white CNN reporter Josh Campbell.

Racist pigs - this entire mess smells of Trump
