Newspapers often have a policy of not reporting the race of criminals in order to avoid reinforcing stereotypes. It does not work.
Black social pathology has legitimate policy implications. The mainstream media has an obligation to draw attention to black illegitimacy, stupidity, and crime.
In short....Stop Sugar Coating the News!!!
I am surprised by the number of people who genuinely seem to think, fifty years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed, that blacks are as intelligent as whites, that the only reason they perform less well in school is that the schools are under funded. These people think blacks are no more dangerous than whites. The only reason they are more likely to be in prison is that so many of them are convicted of "non violent drug offenses," and so on.
For at least two generations the main stream media has been propagating a myth, that is really based on lies, of innate racial equality.
What is even more reprehensible about this is not only the lies, but the suppression of the truth. People who tell the truth about the Negro race risk losing, not only their jobs, but their careers.
