1. And the reason it matters that the 4-year-old is black IS...?

(Are they saying that a 4-year-old white kid wanting a gun isn't equally scary?)

4. I edited my post after seeing the clip.

The kid wanted a gun because he wanted to be a policeman. And that station wouldn't have thought it was scary for a 4-year-old white kid to say exactly the same thing.

I'd suggest changing your thread title to something like "tv station makes racist edit of 4-year-old black kids comment about a shooting" or something like that.

8. Agreed
The problem with your current thread title, though, is that it sounds like you agree that the kid was actually scary, rather than you having started the thread to expose the media racism involved.

9. Nah, I gave it that name, because that seems to be exactly what the news crew wanted to purvey.
Personally, I wanted to title it, "Sneak peek at new Batman movie!" because that gets more views. But the moderators told me I have to stop doing that.

:D
