The main problem seems to be an inability on the part of anyone to produce that alteration in a way that actually links it to CNN.

Oh, well it had to come from somewhere, right? Now I'm curious. :think:
If you'd clicked on my above link you would have seen that non-mainstream media sources noted Mercer's admiration of Black Lives Matter racist Eric Sheppard Jr. and double murderer and racist Vester Flanagan (aka Bryce Williams).

Try and look at the big picture here Greg: Obama would love nothing more than a race war here in the US. The media has been his ally by claiming blacks are victims (of the big bad racist police and white gun totin racist Christians), yet they never show black racism and them committing atrocities like the one that just happened in Roseburg Oregon.

Hmm yes now that I read all three pages of this thread I have some doubts as to the authenticity of the supposed controversy here. If musterion or somebody else can find the actual image from CNN and it appears to show artificially lightened skin tone then there is a real issue. Until then it's just hot air
Maybe you'll have better luck than I did. See if you can find any photo of mass murderer Chris Harper Mercer on the CNN website.

Again, one would think that a major news network would plaster the photo of a mass murderer all over their website. What are they trying to hide?

I very much agree that the media treats the Black Lives Matter movement too well. I am constantly baffled by Obama's ignorance of black on black violence while at the same time condemning the comparatively rare police shootings of black people. It bothers me deeply because it seems like he is, as you have already stated, stirring the race pot for no reason other than to create tension.

Obama has no need to stir the race pot to create tension. The tension is already there, and has been since the day the first slave ship arrived.
And why would you compare civilian violence to police shootings? (That's a rhetorical question, in case you can't tell.)
White guilt ridden liberals just won't let the past die (notice how anna didn't mention how those slaves were sold by other blacks in Africa).
I suppose we could talk about how white guilt ridden liberals keep Black Americans enslaved (to sin, to government handouts, etc. etc. etc.), but that might create some tension between TOL's liberals and conservatives, and that's the last thing that I'd want anna. :nono:

It's about the fact that Mr. Obama has labeled police violence against specifically black targets as a cause for alarm in this country when it accounts for a fraction of 1% of all violent deaths among African Americans. Yet he apparently doesn't see the 92% of all violent black deaths that are caused by other black people as a cause for alarm. Or if he does, then he has declined to say as much

Anna, what racial tension there was pre-Obama has increased a hundred fold since he took office. Even before, in fact, with the Reverend Wright fiasco. It's escalating as we speak.

I agree. It's too obvious to ignore.

While it doesn't absolve American slave owners of their wrongs, you are right that the vast majority of black African slaves involved in the Transatlantic slave trade were captured and enslaved by other African tribes before being bought by the Dutch and Spanish. There is a misconception that white Europeans went to Africa and got their slaves by rounding up free African peoples. PBS (not exactly a conservative platform) had a special about African slavery a few years back that went deep into this
Much like you won't find the video clip of NBC news at their site regarding the 911 call for Trayvon Martin.

The law enforcement official said that according to the la times story you posted.
First, you are correct. Like anyone human, Jesus did condemn others. But since I believe that Jesus always "walked his talk" I see his condemnations as reflecting the agenda of the gospel writers, and not Jesus himself.
The story of Jesus and the fig tree is an obvious metaphor. And to me, metaphors found in sacred literature are one of the closest ways people can describe the divine and/or absolute truth.
A racist pervert speaks. Your takes are as bad as AB, who made one of the most perverted posts I have seen on TOL. She is advocating criminal activity (rioting) and trying to stir the pot.
Thank God for the lake of fire.

I think the title of this thread reflects a certain concern. I don't think it is fraudulent but I could be wrong.
