MSNBC’s Suspiciously Selective Cropping

You have to see it to believe it.

Watch the video below and guess the race of the man carry a semiautomatic rifle and a pistol at a demonstration against Obama’s socialized medicine bill:

Some of you are pretty smart, so you probably guessed the man was black, considering the camera didn’t show his face. If that was your guess, you’re right. If you guessed white, you’re wrong.

You already know what I think about MSNBC’s selective cropping. Showing a black man carrying all that firepower wouldn’t have played into the “white hate groups carrying guns at protests because the president is black” narrative.

They obscure the facts to make a disingenuous point. Shameful. Not in the sense of baby killing or animal torture, but a shame nonetheless. Human nature at its most predictable.

Such blatant bias leads me to make all kind of assumptions. Here’s one: there is something about being white that certain white people don’t like.

Food for thought.
