And here you are again, trying to make it seem as if I'm singling out Hispanic people, I stated every group.
It's worthless. It's just a detour from the blind truth we're getting closer and closer too.
So yea, the media intentionally insights racial tension for ratings/viewers/money. Not only did they do that, but they kept out leaders, orgs, businesses that we're reporting accurately and the truth. #BLackLivesMatter, a Soros funded (hundreds of thousands of dollars) non-profit was inserted in front of Taking Back the Radio and #TheMovement which was a completely grassroots Movement.
But the funny thing is that even with all of the deflections and distractions the narrative still isn't working. People learn. People are learning the original Movement wasn't divided by race. And researched each case the same independent of race, gender, or some other irrelevant characteristic.
The protests, or rather residents gathering in confusion and anger demanding answers, weren't planned. #TheMovement had been going on since 4/20. And neither groups are pleased with the media narrative being displayed on the television.
If Black Lives Matter is not a group from Ferguson, the leaders they displayed on TV aren't from Ferguson, and they are in no way affiliated with The Movement, then how are they the leaders of it??
How do 3 women become the leaders of an issue affecting black men?
And like ATG said, once again you nitpick which parts of the quote to choose, LMAO!
This was the entire post that you made in response to me.
"I've seen every group of people taking part of the actions you mentioned, especially at sneaker releases. Stop with the false generalizations."
I simply ask you what cities have you seen this in for Hispanics? Simple question, no nitpicking at all. Either you can state where you saw it or you made it up. Instead of answering, you have instead made a dozen insulting posts towards me to deflect from it.
It's clear you made this up. Nothing else to it than that.
Why are we letting the media get away with this? Why is the media basically inviting the protesters, looters, etc... then these journalists have enough nerve to act like they are the victim.
Is anyone else tired of this?
I no longer can watch this anymore and switch the channel. All this is doing is reenforcing negative stereotypes. I'm tired of this and the last few years I feel the media has instigated all of this to the point of more ratings at the expense of the general public.
People have the right to protest. One's commute might be inconvenienced by people taking to the streets but ultimately there is nothing wrong with vigorous but peaceful protests. Regarding Baltimore and Ferguson specifically, they would have protested even if only local media covered the story. In fact, in the case of Baltimore, that was indeed the case for several days. (Living just down the road in DC, the protests received more coverage here than most other places.)
Most everyone would agree, on the other hand, that looting is wrong even if there is uneven understanding or empathy regarding the historical police abuse of power or, particularly in Ferguson, the general disregard for its citizens. The looting, sadly, would have happened even without national media present.
IMO focusing on the notion of the media instigating racial tension shows a need to study the deep-seated tension that was already present to understand why people are angry.

Pathetic is when you can't even address the party you disagree with (even irrationally) directly and must hide behind 3rd person attacks.
This topic is about the media. You haven't said anything about that.
Is that why your first post in this thread was a broad generalization about an undisclosed race, which had nothing to do with the media's coverage?
And you're wrong, my post in response to yours did in fact talk about the hypocrisy when blacks riot
and whites, well, engage in activities that could be called 'rioting' but is not (reference to Lexington, KY).
To which you still have not responded. Just like the 'confederate flag' thread. Just like the 'thug is racist' thread.

Yet TWICE I posted links of Hispanics doing the aforementioned actions, yet AGAIN you act as if you don't see those links and continue to play your childish games.
Btw, there's a moderator viewing this forum. If Tone509 felt as if I was insulting you I'm 100% sure s/he would've taken action by now.

Yawn.

Stop insulting him! Lmao.
So tell me. I missed the action. Is "thug" racist? I always forget which way the struggle is going these days. What's more important? Historically-based semantics or emotional appeals to metamorphic victimization?
I ask you. And as you consider your reply, I ask that you imagine the sixth and concluding sentence of the preceding paragraph being pronounced by Dr. Michael Eric Dyson.
