The Content of Their Character

 There are a lot of far right commentators sharing this horrific story and highlighting the fact the perpetrators are Black. [More]

Well, are they? 

Funny, how outraged "journalists" can't wait to scream "white supremacy" before facts are known in other stories...

Here's a clip from today's "Miami Herald" article about the recent spring break Charlie Foxtrot on Miami Beach.

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/tourism-cruises/article250179575.html

"Photos of Fort Lauderdale Beach’s spring breaks and Miami Beach’s 2021 edition could be confused with one another — if it weren’t for the mullets, men’s short shorts, and mustaches. Another difference: Fort Lauderdale drew a predominantly white crowd, while Miami Beach this year drew a predominantly Black crowd. In both photos, thousands of tourists fill the streets, flouting traffic and open-container rules. Alcohol-emboldened visitors climb street poles."

Note the "New York Times" style guide influence:

Fort Lauderdale crowd was white.
Miami Beach crowd was Black.

I think I'm going to start self identifying as "melanin challenged."
