Protesters Make Memphis Paper Apologize for ‘Racist’ Headline, ‘Gunman Targeted Whites’ (nationalist, leader)

[doc1]

Isn't that what he did

So now even the facts are culturally insensitive.

How the f did we get to this point?

"A newspaper in Memphis, Tenn., quickly apologize after protestors complained about its choice of headline in the wake of the deadly police shooting in Dallas, Texas.

“Gunman targeted whites,” read the lead story headline in the Commercial Appeal, a member of the USA Today network. The headline was accurate, as Dallas gunman Micah Xavier Johnson explicitly talked about wanted to kill white police officers .........

"........One of the protest leaders, Pastor Earle Fisher of the Memphis Grassroots Organization Coalition, said following a meeting with Commercial Appeal employees that the situation highlighted “the need for cultural sensitivity training.”

Man, Pastor Fisher you're the pot calling the kettle achromatic.

To many in the BLM movement he was a Martyr. You know it was Dallas cops that pulled over Sterling and Castille. In their mind all cops are bad. They could just as well killed a cop in Mexico, makes as much sense.

So now, if a murderer says he's targeting white people, especially white cops, and he does that very thing, we're not allowed to talk about it?

But if a white person says he's targeting black people, and carries that out, it's not only okay to discuss it but it's also considered a hate crime?

Would that be considered black privilege?

I think it's more likely because they used "whites" instead of "honkies".

You made that up.. This isn't a Dylan Roof/White Nationalist love affair at all.

No apology needed here , just the facts.
