news.
In the washington post, a story of school yard bullying.
The paper for the nation's capital, has a story about a schoolyard incident in louisiana.
Really?
If it's true, an eight year old black kid was beaten by one or more older white punks who made racial comments. No use of the N word reported, that would have been the headline.
But a black kid was bullied and allegedly has his arm broken and someone said he should go back to the cotton farm. That is not nice. Pretty crummy, actually.
Dad has already scored $42,000 from Go Fund Me.
I wonder how many hundreds of times a whites were beaten by blacks in a school yard in the time since this happened. Will the washington post cover them? Will they interview parents and relatives of the kid? Will they show a picture of the cute kid and his cute sister?
This dovetails nicely with my earlier post about things that happen rarely and are painted by the media as commonplace and routine. While things like black kids mugging white kids that happen daily in most suburban counties are described as outliers and uncommon. And generally ignored totally.
Down is up, up is down. In obama's america.
