And when a Black kid is shot dead by police, they do their best to find a photo of him looking like a back-alley mugger or at least a menacing-looking rapper. You know, so that the reader can imagine the cop fearing for his life.

or give excessive details, of how a "degenerate" a POC is. with a white person its always vanilla, sugar coated to make him "otherwise blameless" life.
If only there had been warning signs, like a tasteless tattoo of a target on his forearm.
He clearly just loved shopping for deals.
Big fat /S
shouldnt it be RED then.
Colour costs extra.
They need to be able to still feed their six children.
Funny my local news is using this one that hes not in.
...did they just ai him out of the photo, cause that's what it looks like!
Yeah, that's fucking creepy, that it's the same expressions, but also she suddenly has really long arms to hold that kid...
Who the hell takes these publications seriously if they do shit like this? Damn
I don't see it, her arms are regular sized?
The arm on the right is from the kid, you know.
Look at the original photo in the post, then look at this one.
The kid also has 4 toes
And the boy behind her has the body and stance of a sixty-something who just ran up the stairs.
Honestly a good use of it for once
No, the media should not engage in undisclosed doctoring of photos like that. That is pretty heinous stuff.
Either they shouldn't have used the photo, or blurred him or some shit if they absolutely wanted him out of the photo.
Just think in what other instances they do that to photos without disclosing it.
Yeah no. Judged as not trustworthy, that site.

The adoption industry is run by Christian fascists.
The adoption industry is run by Christian fascists.
It was literally started by a woman stealing children (either literally or getting the mothers to sign away the kid before they even touch them), so that tracks
Edit: BtB episode on it - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-the-woman-who-invented-adoption-by-stealing-thousands-of-babies-30906006
invented adoption
Adoption has to be older than humanity 🧐
I'm sorry, but what part of this proves that she was Christian or endorsed by the church?
The same part that proves i have a goldfish.
she was Christian
It was Mississippi the early 1900s and her dad was a judge, if you think they're anything other than Christian, you don't know shit about history
or endorsed by the church?
You don't have to be endorsed by the church to be a Christian fascist, you potato.
Bit of a reach, but sure buddy, work it out
