Black Teen reported for selling hotdogs... so city health department helped get him licensed

Seems like these dinky little media outlets really try to use every tactic in their arsenal to create an issue where there isn’t one or get people worked up over something that really isn’t that big of a deal.

My first thought when I see “a black teen” in an article title is “oh god, here we go again.” And that’s bullshit! It takes away from the REAL racial issues, but it’s not my fault. Look at the shit we see every day.

Plus there seems to be a sudden rise in the number of kids getting cops called on their food stands. In my mind, it’s either the media’s fault for covering it so much and giving everyone the idea, or it’s something that has always happened that they just decided to suddenly make a huge deal about and make it seem racially motivated.

It doesn’t even stop at race anymore, I was reading an article last week where the guy was talking about a “deadly hurricane currently barreling down on the Florida coast”. Ha! It was a tropical storm and it ended up dissipating before it even left the Atlantic.
