Media bias is so irrefutable at this point that I almost lack the willpower to write another post on it, but this story is so "black and white" that it illustrated the point perfectly. But we first need to inverse the colors.
Let us pretend that a member of the KKK stood outside of a polling place in Philadelphia in 2008--with a white sheet, hood, and a metal pipe--and intimidated black people from voting for Barack Obama for president. The whole incident is caught on tape.
Let us pretend that John McCain won that election, and he hired a cracker white Republican Attorney General who dropped all charges against the Klansman, prompting a prosecutor on the case to quit his job in protest over, what he calls, preferential treatment of white people.
Then, pretend that a video surfaced of the freed Klansman shouting this at a public rally:
"I hate black people! All of them! Every last iota of a n****r; I hate him! You want freedom? You're going to have to kill some n****rs! You're going to have to kill some n****r babies!"
Then, imagine--if you can--that the leader of the KKK gave a speech that praised the Attorney General for dropping charges against the accused Klansman, and soon after another speech of his surfaced where he praised the racial policies of Adolph Hitler.
How do you think CNN, MSNBC, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, ABC, CBS, and NBC would react? Do you think they'd lead with that racial injustice every day?
Of course they would. McCain and his AG would have both been politically destroyed.
But with the colors inverted, the media ignores completely. They ignored that a Black Panther member said this:
"I hate white people! All of them! Every last iota of a cracker; I hate him! You want freedom? You're going to have to kill some crackers! You're going to have to kill some cracker babies!"
They ignored that the Black Panther member said that after he stood outside of a polling place to intimidate white people from voting.
They ignored that Obama's AG dropped the case against him, and they ignored that a prosecutor on the case quit over reverse racism inside the department.
They didn't make a peep when the leader of the New Black Panther Party praised the Obama Administration for dropping the case for racial reasons.
And they've completely ignored that the same leader praised Osama Bin Laden in 2002.
It's impossible to deny media bias when you reverse the races. It would be bad enough if they just downplayed the controversy--but they've completely ignored it, and have all but admitted they've abdicated the position entrusted to them by the American people.

So Black Panthers are not entitled to the First AMendment or as it is popularly known as "the Free Speech Amendment"? So we are supposed to be up in arms because a Black man called whites "crackers"? SO WHAT?!! Black people have been subjected to racial hatred forver in this country. Doesn't feel good when what goes around comes around, does it?
So are you saying that past racism is justification for reverse-racism?
The NAACP is preparing to pass a resolution that calls on "all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era." It's interesting to note that the NAACP has not spoken out against the blatant reverse-racism expressed by members of the Black Panthers, who have used intimidation tactics at polling locations, used racial epithets directed against white people, and have called for the killing of white babies.
I'm curious whether our friend DJ would use the same free speech argument to defend statements by members of the KKK or Aryan Brotherhood. Or do you believe that only white people can be racists?
DJ, the man said that people should kill white babies. It's OK for him to say that because he may have been discriminated against in his life?
You don't want to take this opportunity to condemn that kind of language, whatever its source?
Using your logic, then black people should have the right to enslave white people because that's what should "come around."
