…and from the Usual Suspects, the usual stupid questions:
Barack Obama has questioned why the Titan sub tragedy that killed five men has received wall-to-wall media coverage – while a boat sinking with 700 refugees on board has been ignored.
Why? I’ll tell you why: nobody cares about African peasants drowning because a.) they’re peasants and b.) it happens all the time.
Yeah, it’s unfair and blah blah blah “equity” yadda yadda “untenable”, but the fact is that a tragedy involving wealthy people visiting arguably the most famous (and tragic) shipwreck in history thousands of feet below the surface is more newsworthy than the drownings of (yet another) boatload of illegal immigrants — I’m sorry, I mean undocumented travelers / refugees / asylum-seekers — who are invading Europe on a daily basis.
And the final thing: not everything is about being Black, you disgusting race hustler.
