What were the call signs of the major 24/7 news agencies back then? I just wondered since they are the real cause of most of these things.
JFYI the first 27/7 news network, was CNN which was founded in 1980. Before that you had to wait until the evening newscasts on CBS, NBC, or ABC to see the days breaking news. No Fox News either.
For some strange reason, high school fights just didn't even make local newscasts in those days. Nobody though they were important enough, I guess.
ZOMG, stop the presses. A lunchroom fight just broke out at a high school in Minneapolis. Why isn't CNN covering it live?
Your disingenuity is cute. You know the media would be all over this local story if the lunchroom riot were between whites and blacks.
The tensions between African Americans and Somalian muslims are notorious in Minnesota, there have been other cases of riots breaking out at school sporting events, yet the media refuses to use these opportunities to start a national discourse on AA's and immigrant blacks, preferring instead to sweep it under the rug and maintain its focus on "white racism".
Welcome to Obama's post-racial world where the media has become more racist then ever before. This is called progress and moving forward in the Democrat's backwards world.

Did your read the comment from the superintendent that was in that article. One would think they just had a play day together and sang koom ba ya.
Gee, the riots at my high school in the late 60s didn't make the national news, either!
Must have been a coverup big big.

sorry, but its just a school fight. who cares who were involved. punish the fighters with suspension and move on.
If the combatants were White and Black and if the White kids were seen as the aggressors the national media would descend en masse. You better believe it and it would push off some stranded cruise ship off the top of the news.

It's only conservatives in their obsessive compulsion to label everybody by race, that this is important. To everybody else, it was just another high school food fight. Move along, nothing to see here, type of thing.
To the defenders of the failed diversity experiment this is just another fight. Nothing about diversity makes any bit of sense but on we march FORWARD.

Back then politicians drinking water from a glass wasn't considered newsworthy either.

No. It's the liberal mainstream media's focus on heavily promoting white-on-black violence (e.g. Zimmerman/Martin) while suppressing all other racial crimes (e.g. black flash mobs attacking white people at state fairs) that's fanning the flames of racism.
I wouldn't have bothered posting the video if the media would do its job of reporting the news instead of whitewashing it to fit their racist, progressive narrative.
Interesting that now Somali Muslims are a different race. Because the U.S. government surely refuses to list different ethnic groups for people African origin or at least allow people to write in their ethnicity. It is not just Asians and Hispanics that are multiethnic groups.
This doesn't surprise me at all anyway. Often recent Africans and Afro-Caribbean people can be very exclusive and/or arrogant, but African-Americans can be quite hostile to other groups. For some, you dare not be of African background and not be African-American.
Here's a quick sample of African American kids having problems with other minorities
"You can call this a hate crime," said district chief executive officer Paul Vallas. "There clearly is tension in the community. There are a large number of African-born students, and a lot of times they are being teased and bullied by other students."
