A better picture. Notice above the "b" there is a black "smudge". Also look at the consistency of the "make up" (sorry) under her left eye.

Two things: BMA suspect; and one cablenews network seems to be covering it while the other two seem not to be.

Also, for what you seem to be suggesting to be true, this would have to involve air-tight, undiscoverable police corruption.

If it is not a hoax...unfortunate, all around. I imagine other such incidents might very well occur after B. Obama's probable victory. He and every other respectable African-American leader will have to find a way to stop it.

It is a hoax. No swelling, makeup smudges, mirror "b".

The police are catching on:

Gopher, why would you say that blacks would attack whites in the face of an Obama victory?

I have a hard time with the "when he saw the McCain-Palin bumber sticker" part. Violent robberies do not go down like that at all.

Multiple personal experiences with very militant, anti-white blacks in southern California. Martin Luther King Day, to cite another example, was sometimes a day for whites to stay away from school in Las Vegas. Several friends were actually beat up rather badly on one such day. An Obama victory will reunleash this energy, at least temporarily, I believe. He would not want it and he would do all he could to stop it. But it would still happen.

I do not consider these particular people "Obama supporters" or representative of African-Americans, either. They still exist, Mises.

I call hoax. Does it really matter though? It has the potential to become one of those "iconic" symbols, whether is actually happened or not. I hope the truth is discovered as quickly as possible to limit the damage done.

If it does indeed to turn out to be a hoax the people involved should get jail time. Utterly irresponsible in the current (and any really) political climate.

True. If ignorant black people can think O.J. was innocent, what's going to stop ignorant white people from believing in their own fairy tales?
