Re: Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 'Police Beat' column identifies suspects by race]

the liberal media doesn't want to offend their constituancy by
exposing the race of criminals

that's why the press doesn't report that 100 white women per day are
sexually attacked by black men or why white men don't rape black
women?
