    I was hoping my sarcasm was evident. What I posted is essentially what this person is doing - ignoring the mountains of evidence and facts of the situation all of which point indisputably towards it being about race. Then, having ignored all that, they cast doubt on it being about race.

    It’s a typical tactic of the right. Ignore all the overwhelming evidence in a situation and then, once that’s done, declare that the conclusion obtained from all that evidence is invalid because “there’s no evidence for that.”

      I saw your sarcasm was just pointing it out the same way. Our local right wing network even calls it the Tulsa Race Massacre. And they love Trump and love whitwashing the news.

      But as a Tulsa news station they are at least smart enough to call it what it is.
