This pathetic diesel-dyke is nothing more than a typical race baiter. Can't write a story based on merit or writing chops so latch on to the race card. Sorry excuse for a journalist, but then again it is CNN.
Look, there's no need to mention the race. When people hear "biker gang" people automatically assume middle-aged white guy. I even asked someone at work (not white) about it, and she thinks this whole not mentioning the race thing is ridiculous.
Exactly. Look at that case about 3 years ago in which 20-30 of them coming from a biker rally terrorized a couple and their baby. The thugs dragged the father out of the SUV, broke the windows, and didn't even care that the mother was screaming that there was a baby in the car. All white dudes.
Again from earlier in this topic. The idiot woman Sally Nails obviously didn't even bother to look at the mug shots of the people arrested.
Interesting. Thank you for taking the time to find the two guys out of the 171 arrested that appear "black" to you. You forgot this guy:
I'm assuming you overlooked him because his name is Gregory Salazar. Why don't you take a good look at his mugshot as well as the two you keep posting. Perhaps it is within the realm of possibility that these three men are likely of both Mexican American and African American parentage and are members of the Bandidos based on shared culture of their Mexican ancestry?
Why is it that you focused on posting mugshots of just the two men you discerned were "black" by their appearance? Using context clues of surname and "appearance", I would say that roughly a fourth of the 171 arrested are of some Hispanic (presumably Mexican) heritage. So for the three "black guys" of likely Hispanic ancestry that you posted just to prove "black people do it too" you neglected to post mugshots of a dozen others that "appear" to be of both Anglo and Mexican heritage.
There were also three women arrested. Does this mean there are roving bands of women biker gangs engaged in mass killing? Are you familiar with something called the exception to the rule? I don't think 1.75% of the arrested being "black" or "women" is particularly exemplary of the overall demographic of the biker gangs. I personally would not be surprised in the least if over 1.75% of Bloods or Crips weren't black or men, if 1.75% of "thugs" in these riots weren't black or men, and it's quite clear that well over 1.75% of recent protestors against inequitable police treatment are either non-black or women or both.
I do think it is quite telling that a few posters have had some pretty negative things to say about Sally Kohn and have painted women, lesbians, liberals, and minorities with broad, slanderous brush in response to Kohn pointing out white privilege. Isn't that the gist of her editorial in the first place?
"One of the most distinct characteristics of white privilege is the privilege to be unique. When white people commit violent acts, they are treated as aberrations, slips described with adjectives that show they are unusual and in no way representative of the broader racial group to which they belong.
In fact, in much of the coverage of the Waco shootings, the race of the gang members isn't even mentioned,"
There were pictures of the guys all over the news sites along with the story.
Who freakin' needs to mention race when you have picture after picture of the bikers?
Sure, there are racists out there that lump all blacks together but in this instance trying to make it seem like the media is being racist for not pointing out the skin color of the guys in the pictures accompanying the article is ridiculous.

Are you talking about the case in New York City where the bikers had surrounded the range rover, the range rover ran over one biker (paralyzing him) and a group chased the range rover until it got stopped in traffic and then broke the windows on the range rover, dragged the driver out and beat him? This case: Man Attacked by Bikers in New York Plans to Sue the City - ABC News

Yep, I'm pretty sure thats the one he was talking about, problem is it whole nother type of biker
The mugshots reveal that Texas outlaw bikers look like Texans. They're maybe two thirds white, a quarter latino, plus a couple black guys and mixed race people, just about the same proportions as Texas itself, if you exclude the people too poor to own a fancy motorcycle.

Pretty sure Texas hasn't been two thirds white since they made the movie "Giant." (1956)

Non-poor Texas?
