When a mom and daughter were kidnapped, forced to withdraw money from an ATM, raped, then shot last week, the Indianapolis Star played it by the book: Do not mention the suspects are black.
The "book" in this case is written by the Society of Professional Journalists, headquartered just three miles from the scene of the crime. In last month's issue of the SPJ magazine, the oldest and largest organization of journalists in America reminded its members how they should report racial violence:
Don't.
The SPJ story was just repeating what dozens of chapters around the country tell its members in regular seminars: Unless someone is considerate enough to wave around a sign saying, "Kill Honky," or issue a press release or utter racial expletives in front of lots of witnesses, the fact that the suspects just happen to be black has no bearing on the story.
And if you wonder about it, you are probably a "racist and hater," said the SPJ.
A sampling of SJP's "diversity guidelines"–
Guidelines for Countering Racial, Ethnic and Religious Profiling
— Portray Muslims, Arabs and Middle Eastern and South Asian Americans in the richness of their diverse experiences.
— Do not represent Arab Americans and Muslims as monolithic groups. Avoid conveying the impression that all Arab Americans and Muslims wear traditional clothing.
— Make an extra effort to include olive-complexioned and darker men and women, Sikhs, Muslims and devout religious people of all types in arts, business, society columns and all other news and feature coverage, not just stories about the crisis.
— When writing about terrorism, remember to include white supremacist, radical anti-abortionists and other groups with a history of such activity.
'White Girl Bleed a Lot' was written for the deniers - reporters and public officials who, despite overwhelming evidence, deny that black mob violence has reached epidemic levels in America.

I live in the real world, the now and the present;
not the fantasy world Obamacrats are trying to create by destroying everything so that 'true equality for all' comes in the form of Ground Zero.
I'm sorry if the facts I'm posting are un-pc for you but that's the real world I live in.

I know this conservative theme from Rush Limbaugh, to Drudge, Hannity, to Glenn Beck, to OReily, to numerous insane talk radio hosts that black people are running rampant against white people.
It shows the rot and cancer at the heart of conservative ideology, that this insane theory gained any purchase with prominent conservatives is pathetic.
