Imagine how the MSM would react if 6 white students "kicked & punched" a black student into a "state of bloody unconsciousness."  Wouldn't it be a headline and lead the evening news?  Almost certainly, it would.

But suppose the roles were reversed.  Suppose a gang of black criminals savagely beat a single white student whose only offense was to sit under a tree.  That's exactly what happened to a white student, Justin Barker, who was beaten to a proverbial pulp by blacks in 2007.

Most of the blacks had prior records; yet, the MSM ignored the vicious crime.  That is, until a judge sentenced a criminal, Mychal Bell;  then the black community along with the lying, progressive MSM was up in arms.  Clearly, in their view, it was a miscarriage of justice to sentence a black criminal for beating a white student into a state of unconsciousness.

Bell is just one of the black "martyrs" the black racist, Rankine, champions in her mind-numbingly tedious exegesis of micro-aggressions: 'Citizen.'
