I am just observing the protest and Riots just like you bro.. It isn't about trusting the media's portrayal...

Of course it is! Are you watching these things from your helicopter in the sky....or from your TV at home?

Are you saying they didn't happen?

No

So what are you trying to suggest? that the media ginned it up?

Yes, I agree with that

But Al Sharpton, Obama and the like don't seem to mind the media's participation

In fact, they are glad the media is "getting the truth out"

No, what I'm saying is that the media chooses what to cover, how long to cover it, and how to cover it. For example, when a random republican from Wyoming says something potentially offensive, it will be all over MSNBC. I mean, it really happened. They didn't "gin it up." But they are giving it waaaay more airtime than they would give a democrat from ohio who says the exact same thing. That is how media shapes perception and forwards their agenda.

Same thing here. If all you know about, for lack of a better phrase, "the minds of black people" is what you see or hear from the media, you will be getting a skewed perception. Like this OP, you will think all black people feel a certain way just because that is all you see on TV.

Again, when it comes to every other issue, this board is pretty damn good at deciphering and pointing out how the media can't be trusted and how it alters reality. But, for some strange reason, the perception of "black America" somehow escaped all this and is 100% accurate. Do you not follow my point here?

Didn't you post this garbage in the Peterson thread on the MSB?

You are generalizing an entire group of people. My friends think AP was completely and utterly in the wrong.

Why are Angry White Guys always trying to turn this board into Stormfront, by starting threads which portend want to learn about Black folks, but are really just a sounding board for them to reveal their inner KKK?

Lol. White people feel the same way, just opposite. White people think Ferguson cops are just great.

But let's criticize blacks for the same behavior that occurs in whites. Particularly southern whites.

I follow under that explanation.

Thank you.

But white people never unify as a race and protest / riot.

I find it odd that black people do.

Just an observation...

What i meant by ginned up was the media feeds emotional material with speculation verses known facts.

But I think most other minority groups do unify as a race to a degree. Maybe not protest/riot (something I've never supported btw) but do self-segregate, for lack of a better word, in certain ways.
