For the first 12 hours, the story of those two bimbos throwing themselves in the way of a car was plastered all over the internet and news sites were clutching their pearls at yet another example of white racists using cars to disrupt protests.

Literally the moment it came out that the driver was black and the victims white, it dropped off every front page and twitter completely ceased talking about it. Any story that remains describes how "a car" hit protestors. No, a person driving a car hit those people. It wasn't some rogue self-driving car that gained sentience and elected to run people over. It goes without saying that if the driver was white and the victims black, they would not be using euphemisms to describe what happened.

I know the media always goes for the narrative but jesus this was one of the most shameless examples I've ever seen

When the suspect doesn't fit the narrative they talk about the weapon or whatever is used. A car hit protesters. Planes attacked the world trade center and the Pentagon.

F. You will know them by their works. Mainstream media is the enemy.
