Like a nosy mother-in-law who is underserved at home and takes out her frustration on her daughter’s harried spouse, USA Today has made a career of poking into other people’s trash piles. Stirring filth among liberals is their specialty. Who cares if it is true or fictional?
The bullseye of Today’s insecure editors is to goose their mostly left-wing readership.
With the animals of racism about to blow Ferguson to Mars, the newspaper’s carefully timed lead headline this morning was:
“Blacks arrested up to 10 times more.”
Now that is sexy.
For the imported racist yahoos in Ferguson who can read, this is worth another hundred gallons of gasoline on the flames they already have lit across the two-thirds black and 98 percent fearful St. Louis suburb.
The calculatedly inflammatory story was written by one Brad Heath. He intended to show, in the flavor of liberalism, that cops are anti-black and that blacks are victims. Somebody call rewrite. What novel theories.
It does not matter to the reporter how bizarrely the criminals of Ferguson and other communities behavior.
The faux scientist says that if blacks are arrested at a greater rate than whites are – just because blacks behave worse and commit far more crimes than whites – it is irrefutable proof of law enforcement racism.
He writes that the 10 Times claim applies to “cities as diverse as Chicago and San Francisco and in the suburbs of St. Louis, New York and Detroit.”
Looks as if all of America is racist, a long-held liberal assertion.
“Those disparities are easier to measure than to explain,” Mr. Heath writes. “They could be a reflection of biased policing. They could be a by-product of the vast economic and educational gaps that persist across much of the USA – factors closely tied to crime rates.”
What a mouthful. Mr. Heath should have vomited it rather than foisting the bilge onto undiscerning readers.
Whose fault is the employment gap? The educational gap?
Why do people with yellow skin succeed at about a 100 percent rate and people with black skin at a 5 percent rate?
“People of color” is an excuse by yokels who do not know the distinction between “we was” and “we were.”
In Ferguson, the Rev. Al Dullton and his fellow racists hardly needed encouragement of this story.
For the even remotely perceptive reader, the story proves no such claim.
If you have heard any of the shifty-eyed dullards roaming the streets like wildlife since the Michael Brown shooting 3½ months ago, you understand.
Shame on USA Today, hoping for a return to USA Yesterday.
Prodding racists, Mr. Heath says in the second sentence that Ferguson police arrest blacks at “nearly” three times the rate of other races. Bulletin, pal: Blacks are two-thirds of the Ferguson population.
