With a samurai sword.

Has anybody else noticed that the media seems to be shying away from
reporting that a suspect IS _BLACK_. They'll report that an assailant
is White or hispanic (or latino), but they'll rarely say if they're
black anymore.

Is it because they figure we're just to automatically assume that
they're black unless it's otherwise noted? Or is because they'll call
the media outlets racist for always featuring stories about black
people committing crimes?

They're not really expending much effort catching the guy because in
that neighborhood, they figure the money will end up back in the
Church's Chicken till sooner or later anyway.

He probably spent some of the loot at another Church's Chicken, and
its at least even money that before the end of the week he'll get
caught when an employee recognizes him when he tries to spend some
more of it in the same Church's Chicken he robbed because he got tired
of driving all the way out to the other Church's Chicken.

Church's is one of the last fast food chains to still fry in trans fat
oil.

Hey, anyone else see this?

Was he black? Between the reported height and the hoodie, I figured he
was a hobbit.

Dude, this is TELEVISION, a visual medium. Most people would play the
video, to see what had happened. Why explain the obvious?

I don't think they have it in their fryers like Church's, but White
Castle has lots of trans fatty items.

I remember when some states made it illegal for newspapers to
expose a suspect's race. In answer to your second question, I think
it's because it gives the reporters more fun in trying to expose the
person's race without being allowed to say it. They have to resort to
trickery. Some call it journalism. For example, the suspect's name
might be Robert Jones (could be anybody), but the reporters go out of
their way to write that when he left home he told everyone he was on
his way to his sister Tamiqua's place to spend the night and listen to
some new hip hop CDs he just bought. Bad example from me there, but
you get the idea. Personally, the black/white thing bores me - but
I'll jump in just for old time's sake when I tended to look at things
in a black and white way. No more. Now I am wise beyond my years and
getting wiser all the time. Kill me soon before I explode.
