Funny how the media covers white riots versus
black protests.
Breaking news
Seems like when the protesters are black,
the media uses some pretty harsh words.
"The bad guys."
"Lawlessness."
"Looting."
"Wild Animals."
"Criminals and thugs."
"Thugs. Isn't it the right word?"
However, if you're white and you're tearing
up the city because of a game, you're just
young people.
"Young people danced on a flipped over car."
"These UK fans did stupid things."
"Some maybe got a little out of control."
"Seeing a scene like this just shows how passionate
the UK fans are."
"It's so tough to lose and unfortunately the
ugly side that we sometimes see in sports."
And notice how the police always show up to
a black protest in military-grade equipment.
And yet the media claims they're just doing
nothing.
It's inexplicable why the police are doing
nothing.
Let's mobilize the national guard.
If I am a rioter and I see the police doing
nothing, I might feel like I have a license.
You would.
But at white riots, the cops actually are
standing around doing nothing.
"Another group of cops over there, just standing
there."
"No one was really doing anything."
These guys look like they could be watching
a parade.
And why is it that the leadership of the black
community is always called into question?
"Where is the leadership?"
"Leadership."
"The black leadership."
"The absence of leadership."
"And it goes back to leadership, but that leadership
has to come from the community."
But no one ever questions the leadership of
white parents who let their kids burn down
and vandalize their college campus.
"They're just young college students who think
they're playing some kind of a game with police
officers."
You know sometimes they don't even call a
white riot a riot.
"Party gone awry."
"Some fans got a bit too rowdy after the win."
"A dispute."
"A bloody brawl."
"There was some type of altercation."
Waco. 170 arrested. 9 people dead.
"They're not thugs."
Baltime. No deaths. But it's a riot, chalked
full of thugs.
"Thugs."
"Thugs."
What if the media portrayed white rioters
the same as black protesters?
Let's switch the audio and see how it plays
out.
"Breaking news: violent protest."
"What you're looking at is the unraveling
of the civil society."
"Criminals and thugs."
"And they're raising hell, and they're destroying
property."
"These idiotic thugs, rioting and looting, are
hurting their own people."
"Wild animals burning buildings down."
"Especially if they know, the media is all
there, right, got the cameras on everyone,
it's become its own reality show."
"Who acts like that towards a police officer?"
Think for yourself. Don't let racist media
color your perceptions.
Demand fairness in media coverage. Tell the
media to put an end to calling black people
thugs.
