George
Zimmerman is half Hispanic and half White. The media portrays him as a White
man who shot a Black youth, even though he appears more Hispanic. This portrayal
makes for more sensational news. It’s sad to say, but a Black kid being shot by
a Mexican is not as big of a news story. This unfortunately happens regularly in
some of our cities that have big gang problems, no big deal to the media.
President
Obama is half Black and half White. The media portrays him as the first Black President,
and yes, he appears Black. This portrayal is history making and makes for more
sensational news.
The next
time you are looking for the main cause of continued racial division in the
country (I won't say the only reason, but it tops the list), look no farther than the media. They ram it down our throats every
chance they get. They purposely try to stir up latent racial feelings in many
people that have move beyond these feelings. If they can stir feelings that cause protest
or disturbances, well, that’s just more news stories in the making.
