Just playing to the fears of their readers.The savage black man is an animal without remorse, ethics or empathy, and should therefore be considered subhuman.
I really hate them things.Flash mobs.

Another example of what I mean about Drudge. Okay, so in this case it's a bunch of blacks behaving badly. That's all Drudge seems to report. Surely there are other places where whites are doing something similar. Where's Drudge when those go down?
Yes, indeed it is shocking that an African American journalist would bring up black related issues.
So whites should only write about whites, orientals should just write about orientals, etc.... Great!
The acceptable term now is "Asians"...just sayin'.
I think he meant to start this with his Flying Spaghetti Monster alias, only forgot to log out. That's why FSM was so quick to jump in and agree with Jim, which never happens.
Well sniffed.
Who said Robinson writes or should write exclusively about black issues? He even wrote about Sarah Palin yesterday, who I assume is white.Sarah Palin is ignorant and dangerous
Exactly. Just another version of identity politics, southern strategy...
Everyone already knows Saroff is Jim11 - both used to have wizard avatars.
Sadly, some people think like this and carry it even further...Four white teachers in a predominantly black Philadelphia school are suing the principal, charging that he said they were unfit to teach black students. The Root
Wait a minute a Black Man in position of authority over white women - OMG he might "corrupt" them.
were they black or mexican?My family was killed by a flash mob.I really hate them things.Flash mobs.
I think you're missing where he's going with this.
No they were white. Why would I have a black or Mexican family?were they black or mexican?My family was killed by a flash mob.I really hate them things.Flash mobs.
I wonder what drives a flash mob.My family was killed by a flash mob.I really hate them things.Flash mobs.
Well, we can't have Drudge/Fox doing that. All news outlets should be perfectly neutral in regards to politics, like MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NBC, Huffington Post, Washington Post, New York Times...oh, wait.
There's the Jim11 we know.
yes.
I prefer to cite my sources because facts are more persuasive than opinions. Particularly mine.Your point shows how we view things differently. You see my above post as a critique of "black people". I see it as a critique on an individual who happens to be black. You see me sharing that article as racist. I see me sharing an article about a racist. The point is at the if you honestly believe that race is irrelevant, which I do, then why the apprehension in holding people of different races to the same standard? My complete lack of apprehension may discomfort some, but my lack of apprehension stems from hanging around with mainly black friends and holding them to the same standard I hold my other friends.The Muslim thing is because I feel strongly about women's rights and gay rights. I also feel strongly, in the case of Europe, that society altering steps should be discussed with members of that society (call me crazy on that one.) I always differentiate between those Muslims committing the actions and the remaining, overwhelming majority who are not. My Nigerian buddy doesn't seem to have your concerns when we discuss how this issue applies to his homeland.
The weird part is the way you shoehorn them in, even when they're only tangentially related to the discussion at hand. It's like you saw a thread accusing a white guy of racism and thought "Oh no, I'd better remind everyone that black people can be racist too!", which seems like just the opposite of your stated claim to hold everyone accoutable regardless of race.
Just as Drudge does not only post only one kind of story, either does Mr Robinson. As the OP mentioned does a tendancy by Drudge make it racist.
I don't think I'm guilty of doing that. If I am it's only to show that in many instance where we infer white racism, we don't infer black racism to the comparable example. For instance, if a site that caters to black news like The Root (which I linked above) were to carry news stories about a wave of white mobs attacking black people, and this troubling issue was not being addressed by mainstream sources, I would think, "I'm glad somebody is drawing attention to this." But now when the races are reversed I'm supposed to change that conclusion and find the reporting of facts to be abhorrent? No, I'm very consistent on treating others equally, as individuals, and based on their actions. When I do what you're accusing me of, it's to show that many in our society aren't nearly as consistent as me, and such inconsistency can lead to problems like, say, the issue that Drudge is reporting.
Yes, agree.Probably should be "European American, Asian American, African America, Native American..."
Oriental is a rug not a person
And who might these folks be? You may have gleaned something from the link title but I'll spell it out. Well they are the CCC. Conservative Citizens Council. They are folks that say things like "Black Americans are a retrograde species". And they are cozy with skinheads. You are known by the company you keep and Drudge is keeping some pretty nasty company here.
The photo that Drudge has posted of Hillary today looks like someone asked her to do an impression of Monica Lewinsky.
