    What is the purpose of the media these days [ or it has been ...] ?


    - To inform on facts?



    - Or to manipulate?



    ...............................................................





    One thing other people other than on ¨Europeans¨, does not already figure out.



    ¨Europeans¨ do care 4 each other, regardless of that being fair or not.





    by Europeans I mean white.

    By all accounts, it's clear that the cops' actions were abusive.


    What, however, were the circumstances leading up to this?

    I'm really pissed about this stupid OJ thing. Right when the media is focusing on incidents of excessive force and the Jena 6, and people are mobilizing to take back our image this stupidness happens. Did Anderson Cooper have to devote an entire hour to O.J. last night? Did they have to do a "where are they now" segment about the people who were involved in the murder trial that has nothing to do with this? Once again the mug shots are going up too and the media is actually comparing the old and new mug shot!


    This stupidness is setting us back. They are asking if O.J. is a sociopath and you know that they are going to generalize that to all Black males who have been arrested more than once. They are going to let this dominate the news just when we are confronting justice and stereotypical media portrayals of us. Why did this have to happen at all especially now???

    Sometime I wonder if Africans [blacks, if you want] does read or watch news from foreign country, [for you in the USA] more precisely europe or some Asians country?


    For those people Africans [blacks if you want - yeah!, we are all afraid of being called African] are just non people.





    And I need not to appoint any example.
