Unf**kingbelievable.....I was just listening to the radio news, I believe AP, that airs....

[marmar]

during the Mike Malloy webcast on KPHX, and they did a story on a shooting in a pool hall in Louisiana that left several people dead. Then the newscaster said "Three Hispanic Men were being held." No further description of the men, no explanation as to why the fact that them being Hispanic was somehow important to the story.
It's almost like they identified them as being Hispanic for the sake of identifying them as being Hispanic. ...... That kind of shite really burns me up.

:grr:

2. Standard O P for many years in this country, any wonder why we

think the way we do, keeps us divided.

3. We had an officer shot....

and they wouldn't identify their race on the APB. They caught them anyway but some of this is just ridiculous. If they are on the loose and it can help identify them then I say go ahead. I realize these men were already in custody so there was no need to identify them as hispanic.

4. democracy now had a news blurb about Hispanics being targeted for hate crimes recently

Lou Dobbs should be ashamed of himself for all the hateful invective he's put out there.
