Last night a black young man carried out a mass shooting. CNN didn’t mention his race ONCE in articles, tweets or alerts. They barely covered the shooting. Today’s shooting? They prominently feature the shooter being white in story, tweet & alert.

Why? CNN wants racial division.
If CNN consistently used race to ID shooters then that’d be consistent but selectively choosing to only note & amplify the race of a white shooter and omit the race of a black mass shooter within 24 hours feels telling. They thrive on division, especially racial division.
What’s the right way to handle race when reporting mass shootings? That can be argued many different & responsible ways. What @CNN is doing isn’t one of those responsible ways. What they’re doing is designed to selectively elicit outrage & support a narrative. Sad state of media.
Ignore CNN. They want us divided so we’re weaker. We’re stronger if we unite. We have to lift each other up. Every race in the US, hand in hand uniting to honor what bonds us, our love for country and humanity. Let’s move beyond division. Show love. Be strong. Love is strength.
Any person or organization who doesn’t wish for the prosperity & safety of ALL Americans isn’t worth a damn. I want prosperity & safety for my American brothers & sisters whether they be Hispanic, Black, White, Asian, Native or any other background. Together we can do anything.
