"WHITE COP KILLS BLACK MAN BIG HEADLINER HOLY SHIT OMG".
my reaction: no1 gives a krap
is it just like this in the past year or two or is it because i just started paying attention to current events in the past year or two and therefore am starting to notice it?
whenever anybody says "hey did u hear the other day some white cop killed some black guy" im gonna start saying no1 gives a krap as a response (not because i dont care in that sense, but because theres more crazy and exhilerating things to think about)

it is a convenient way to distract from class and divide the poor against themselves. There are legitimate race problems sure, but mostly I think the answer is to get over it. Easy for me to say maybe as a white guy in Canada, but certainly shooting cops didn't do anybody any good...
but no, the media has not always been quite as obsessed with race

everyone from all races & cultural backgrounds in the US should just start saying "god bless america" all the time in as many situations as possible and the butterfly effect of everyone saying it will slowly n subtly draw everyone together

there have been serious race issues since the slave days honestly. and before that in parts of europe. there was asian racism during the WW2 days. i mean just as recently as OJ and rodney king, that was all about race. so yeah, this has been going on for quite sometime. there are serious problems and thinking happy thoughts isn't gonna begin to solve them.

the problems have always been there, the media coverage has not, which is what the thread was about. I agree positivity won't wash that all away, but it is necessary imo to actually heal divides between peoples

The media never stirred the pot like this in my lifetime and having puppet Obama just throwing gasoline on the fire since day one had made it even worse.
So to answer the question, the media and politics has never been so obsessed with race.

It's because some time ago a black kid got shot and all of em started rioting. It got huge attention and a large amount of African American people played the race cards.
They got huge news coverage, black people all around went ape shit.
Now it's a trend every time a black person get's shot it's immediately because of race and many African Americans go ape shit.
It's became such a trend in style that racial tensions have rose apparently.
Fuck all this division bullshit. And fuck the news media.

I literally feel like the media is trying to start a race war, or some major upheaval, this way big bro can sweep in a take away more of our rights, and they will just laugh in our faces and say we did it to ourselves.
It's fucked up, brilliant, but fucked up.

I wonder if the shroomery has. A watershed for similar threads crowding the front page of the same posters arguing the same shit incited by the same people.

I do think that the media is actually trying to start a race war, as crazy as it sounds -- but not so big bro can take away more of our rights. The media is, aside from Fox, is liberal dominated. I can't see them wanting to aid the government in taking more rights away.
I think their motivation is a lot more simple than that.
Ratings and votes. The blood thirsty white cop versus helpless innocent black person narrative does very, very well in the ratings department, and when it leads to something bigger, such as the Baltimore riots or this past week's Dallas shootings, the ratings are absolutely through the roof. These are some of the highest ratings you'll ever see across television, period. TV ratings equal money, and lots of it. And yeah those TV personalities in front of the camera act all heartbroken and shit but behind closed doors the suits and ties at these networks are popping champagne.
And the votes. Undoubtedly the bigger motivation. The TV ratings are just the icing on the cake. But as we all know this is a massive political issue, white guilt and the white man keeping the black man down, and now, blood thirsty white cops systematically gunning them down (even though the stats clearly don't bear that out, but people will buy into anything so long as the media says it's true). The left can use that as a platform and say that they're fighting for them. And it ensures virtually an entire race of votes.

this whole right vs left thing is a farce. neither the republicans nor the democrats stand for your rights or freedoms. They both answer to the money. I don't think they want a race war, what they want is to keep people divided, poorly informed and distrustful of their fellow citizens. On both sides of the political line, the rhetoric is fear-mongering, just different kinds.
If you think either party is your friend, you are just falling for the illusion of choice.
